pycodesage 0.2.5

Local-first CLI code intelligence tool with LangChain-powered RAG

CodeSage

Local-first code intelligence CLI with MCP support for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Index your codebase and search it using natural language. Everything runs locally with Ollama. Supports Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, and Rust.

Install

Recommended: pipx

We strongly recommend installing CodeSage with pipx to run it in an isolated environment.

1. Install pipx (if not already installed):

   # macOS
   brew install pipx
   pipx ensurepath
   
   # Linux/Windows
   python3 -m pip install --user pipx
   python3 -m pipx ensurepath
   

2. Install CodeSage:

   # Install Python 3.10+ (Recommended)
   brew install python@3.11
   
   # Install CodeSage using the specific python version
   pipx install --python python3.11 pycodesage
   

   Note: You can use any installed Python version >= 3.10 (e.g., python3.10, python3.12).

   Note: To add optional features later (e.g., multi-language support), use pipx inject:

   pipx inject pycodesage pycodesage[multi-language]
   

Alternative: pip

You can also install via standard pip, though this may conflict with other packages:

pip install pycodesage

Or from source:

git clone https://github.com/keshavashiya/codesage.git
cd codesage
pip install -e .

Requirements

Ollama must be running with these models:

ollama pull qwen2.5-coder:7b
ollama pull mxbai-embed-large
ollama serve

Usage

# Initialize and index your project
cd your-project
codesage init
codesage index

# Search your code
codesage suggest "validate email"

# Check everything is working
codesage health
