Ask HN: What's the best solution to query a code repository as of today?
Even ignoring its capabilities in authoring code, which I don't particularly care for, one of the most useful aspects of the tool is researching information in a codebase, connecting the dots and extracting information about the whats, wheres and whys.
This capability is helping me a lot into refining tasks I get assigned to find edge cases, assess their impact or simply learn about the product.
I want to scale this and put this power in the hands of my PMs and POs with a predefined "functional analyst" prompt to help them refine tasks and do this work instead of me (as they are the domain experts or close to them).
Right now the closest I could get into a working product is essentially a Claude Code wrapper, but it's not a solution that scales and I'm particularly fond of.
Access to MCP on the local machine would be also an added bonus.
Anybody has a solution in this space? Possibly open source, but I could consider something like that "as a service".
