## What is Context Lens?

Context Lens transforms any content into a **searchable knowledge base** for your AI assistant. This self-contained Model Context Protocol (MCP) server with built-in serverless vector storage (LanceDB) brings semantic search to your conversations. Point it at any content - codebases, documentation, contracts, or text files - and your AI can instantly understand and answer questions about the content.

**Traditional keyword search** finds files containing specific words. Miss the exact term? Miss the content.

**Context Lens** understands meaning. Ask about "authentication" and find code about login, credentials, tokens, OAuth, and access control - even if those files never use the word "authentication."

*Demo: Using Claude Desktop with Context-Lens to index and query this repository itself. No git clone, no scrolling through code - just questions and answers.*

## Why LanceDB?

Context Lens uses **LanceDB** - a modern, serverless vector database:

- **🆓 Completely Free & Local** - No cloud services, API keys, or subscriptions
- **⚡ Zero Infrastructure** - Embedded database, just a file on disk
- **🚀 Fast & Efficient** - Built on Apache Arrow, optimized for vector search
- **💾 Simple Storage** - Single file database, easy to backup or move

Think of it as "SQLite for AI embeddings" - all the power of v…
