### Description (declared)

# Seam

Local code intelligence MCP server for AI agents. Index your codebase once; let agents query instead of grep.

## Status

Semantic search shipped (opt-in local embeddings, hybrid FTS5+cosine via RRF, `[semantic]` extra, no network at query time).
Phase 10 complete — Swift support (11 → 12 languages); Kotlin deferred (grammar maturity).
Agentic-readiness hardening done (MCP error/not-found contract, `.seam/` gitignore, distribution → `seam-mcp`).
`seam install` ships — one-command MCP wiring for Claude Code / Cursor / Codex.
Full CLI-only surface (`query`/`search`/`context` + analysis commands) usable with no MCP server. 1747 tests. Gate green.

## Quickstart

Not yet published to PyPI (the name `seam` there belongs to an unrelated package;
the distribution will be `seam-mcp`). Install from source for now:

Not yet published to PyPI (the distribution will be `seam-mcp`; the import package and
`seam` command keep that name). Install from source for now:

```bash
git clone <repo-url> && cd seam
uv sync                    # CLI only (no MCP server, no semantic search)
uv sync --extra server     # add the MCP server (`seam start`) — needs the `mcp` package
uv sync --extra semantic   # add semantic search (fastembed, ONNX on CPU, no torch, ~67 MB model on first run)
# or install everything: uv sync --extra server --extra semantic
```

The **MCP server is optional**. The CLI works on its own — these all query the index
directly, no server needed:

```bash
cd /path/to/your/project
uv run seam init                       # index the project
uv run seam search "auth token"        # full-text search
uv run seam query "verify user login"  # hybrid FTS + graph search
uv run seam context authenticate_user  # 360-degree view of a symbol
uv run seam impact authenticate_user   # blast radius
# also: trace · changes · why · clusters · affected · pack · status · sync
```

To expose Seam to an AI agent, install the `server` extra and let `seam install` write
the MCP config for …
