Hey Product Hunt! I'm Naman, a solo developer from India. I built CIPHER-Local because I kept running into the same problem: AI coding assistants like Copilot and Cursor are great at generating code, but they don't actually understand your codebase. They scan open files and grep through text, but they don't know where functions are defined, what calls what, or how your modules connect. On large projects, this means hallucinated function signatures and missed cross-file references. CIPHER-Local fixes this by indexing your workspace with Tree-sitter and serving 7 structured MCP tools on localhost — search symbols, resolve definitions, find references, query dependencies. Your AI assistant calls these tools instead of scanning files blindly. Everything runs locally on SQLite. No cloud, no API keys, no account needed. 13 languages supported. This is v0.1.3 beta — I'd love to hear what languages you work with, what breaks, and what tools would be most useful. Every install and every piece of feedback helps me figure out what to build next.
