Archis

A local index your coding agent asks before it reads a file. In its early benchmark with Claude Code, agents used about 22% fewer tokens in a typical session. Your code never leaves your machine.

What it is

A local index of a code repository that AI coding agents query before they read whole files. It runs as an MCP server with search, symbol, relation and file-view tools, and works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI and any MCP client.

Privacy model

Parsing, indexing and agent queries run on the developer’s machine. No source code, repository name or file path is sent to the service; sign-in only verifies the licence.

Results so far

The published benchmark is labelled early. With Claude Code over 20 paired sessions, agents used about 22% fewer tokens in a typical session and about 50.6% fewer on tasks both runs solved. The method and full tables are public, linked under sources.

How it’s built

A CLI and index written in Rust and Go, with a React web front end on Vercel. Personal repositories are free; teams pay per seat.
