Local-first code intelligence for coding agents. Index your own repositories with SCIP and
Zoekt, then let the agent ask structural questions — who calls this?, where is this defined? —
instead of guessing from grep.

Everything runs on your machine. No code leaves it, no telemetry, no account.
This repo is the public distribution surface: the Homebrew tap and formula, the optional
language-tooling installer, the plugins, the binary release assets, and the issue tracker. It holds
no source — see Why this repo exists.
What you get
Ten MCP tools, exposed to any MCP client:
|
Tool |
Answers |
| Navigate |
goToDefinition |
Where is X defined? |
|
findReferences |
Everywhere X is used |
|
callHierarchy |
What calls X, and what X calls |
|
typeHierarchy |
Super/subtypes of X |
|
documentSymbols |
Every symbol in a file |
| Search |
searchCode |
Lexical search across indexed repos (Zoekt) |
|
semanticSearch |
Registered for compatibility; unavailable in the Homebrew distribution |
| Scope |
blastRadius |
Which other indexed repos depend on this package |
|
indexRepo |
Builds an index for a local git repo and returns immediately for polling |
|
getIndexStatus |
Is this repo indexed, and is the index stale? |
Plus three agent skills that ship with the plugin: jarvis-setup (onboarding),
jarvis-use (steers the agent toward structural queries over grep), and jarvis-issues
(files well-formed bug reports).
Full signatures and return shapes: plugin/skills/jarvis-use/references/tool-roster.md.
Quick start
# 1. Install the standalone binary and MCP server
brew install jarvis-intelligence/jarvis/jarvis
# 2. Verify
jarvis --version # expect: jarvis 0.11.0
# 3. Index a repo (slug defaults to the directory name)
jarvis index /path/to/your/repo
# 4. Verify
jarvis status <slug> # expect: indexed
Then install the plugin below to register jarvis-server and install the agent skills.
Install as a plugin
The plugin bundles the MCP registration and all three skills, so there is no manual mcp add.
| Client |
How |
| Claude Code |
/plugin marketplace add jarvis-intelligence/jarvis-index
/plugin install jarvis@jarvis |
| Codex CLI |
codex plugin marketplace add https://github.com/jarvis-intelligence/jarvis-index --ref main
codex plugin add jarvis |
| Cursor |
Dashboard → Plugins → Add Marketplace → Import from Repo (Teams/Enterprise) or clone and ln -s "$PWD/jarvis-index/plugin" ~/.cursor/plugins/local/jarvis |
| Other MCP clients |
Point them at the stdio command jarvis-server |
The plugin launches the Homebrew-installed jarvis-server. If needed, install optional language-specific SCIP tooling afterward with the setup skill's --only commands.
Details, Homebrew limits, and privacy notes: plugin/README.md.
Requirements
- macOS or Linux with Homebrew/Linuxbrew. Windows is not supported.
jarvis 0.11.0 installed by brew install jarvis-intelligence/jarvis/jarvis.
java on PATH only if you index Java/Kotlin repos.
Language support
One language per index — a polyglot repo indexes only its plurality language.
| Language |
Indexer |
Notes |
| TypeScript / JavaScript |
scip-typescript |
|
| Python |
scip-python |
|
| Swift |
scip-swift |
macOS arm64 only; pass --scheme if the Xcode project has several |
| Java / Kotlin |
scip-java |
Android/Gradle projects and repos off the pinned Kotlin version are published search-only — lexical search works, SCIP navigation does not, and semanticSearch is unavailable in the Homebrew distribution |
Why this repo exists
jarvis's development repo is private, and GitHub serves raw files and release assets only to
viewers of the owning repo. An unauthenticated curl against a private repo's setup.sh 404s —
which is every real user. So every user-facing install path lives here, in public:
- optional language-tooling installer, fetchable by anyone
- the Homebrew tap and formula
- the Claude Code / Codex / Cursor plugins
- the
scip and zoekt binaries, as GitHub release assets
- the issue tracker

Editing this repo

Rule |
setup.sh |
Never edit here. The optional language-tooling installer is published automatically from the development repo and overwritten on the next release. Fix it upstream. |
| everything else |
Source of truth is here — edit directly. |
Any change under plugin/ must bump the version in all three plugin manifests, to the same
value, or it reaches nobody: plugin/.claude-plugin/plugin.json,
plugin/.cursor-plugin/plugin.json, .codex-plugin/plugin.json. Plugin 0.11.1 versions independently of the Homebrew jarvis CLI.
