zvec-grep alternatives
Curated alternatives to zvec-grep — and why you'd switch.
cocoindex-code
AST-based semantic code search for coding agents: pipx install, zero config, local embeddings out of the box — a CLI/skill/MCP that cuts agent context ~70% vs grepping. Built on CocoIndex.
Why switchBoth give coding agents local semantic search with zero-config embeddings. cocoindex-code is AST-aware and code-only; zg is text-level across code, documents and data, and pairs the vector hit with grep to verify.
Full comparison →tokensave
Code-intelligence MCP server for coding agents — a pre-indexed semantic graph (libSQL + FTS5) they query instead of grepping: symbols, callers, impact radius in one call. 100% local, 50+ languages.
Why switchBoth exist so the agent stops re-reading files. tokensave serves a pre-indexed semantic graph over MCP; zg serves ranked search from a CLI. Graph queries vs search queries over the same workspace.
