Semantic + keyword hybrid
Voyage voyage-4 embeddings blended with BM25 full-text via
tsvector. Reranked with Grok 4.3 on Max/Business. ~280-400ms per query.
ACECode indexes your code once and serves it back through the Model Context Protocol to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible AI — with semantic search, code graphs, git lineage, and learned conventions wired in.

It validates Bearer tokens against the api_keys table, then attaches
the user to the Hono context as c.var.user. The session token version
comes from session.service.ts:42…
Built on MCP
ACE is the canonical MCP server for code intelligence. Add it to Claude, Cursor, Continue, or any client speaking the Model Context Protocol — no glue code, no proxies, no per-client integrations.
Built for AI-assisted dev work
Voyage voyage-4 embeddings blended with BM25 full-text via
tsvector. Reranked with Grok 4.3 on Max/Business. ~280-400ms per query.
ACE detects patterns from your code and recalls them across conversations. Stop re-explaining your conventions to every new chat.
Map dependencies before refactoring. See the blast radius of a change. Trace call chains from any entry point. Powered by tree-sitter + TS Compiler API.
Tiếng Việt, 中文, 日本語 — query in any language. Voyage voyage-4-large
+ Grok cross-lingual rerank. Validated on 8 query languages.
Validate any symbol or import path against the live index. Catch AI suggestions that reference functions that don't exist before they reach your code.
ACE tracks how every symbol evolved through git. "Why does this look this way?" becomes a one-call MCP query — with the commit, the author, and the rationale.
Where ACE lives
Index your code once with the CLI. Use it from wherever you work.
ace search, ace index, ace watch.
Scripts, hooks, terminal queries — everything an MCP tool can do has a CLI
surface.
Browser UI at app.acecode.dev. Project status, billing, API key
management, and a search playground.
ACE Development Environment — a local-web IDE with intelligence widgets baked in. VS Code-clone shell, all surfaces unified.
