# Sverklo _Sverklo_ (Russian: **сверкло**, _SVERK-lo_) — archaic past tense of "сверкнуть," to flash or gleam. Code intelligence that illuminates your repo so your AI assistant stops guessing.

Sverklo is a local-first code intelligence MCP server that gives **Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, JetBrains, and Google Antigravity** the same mental model of your repo that a senior engineer has. Hybrid semantic search, symbol-level blast-radius analysis, diff-aware PR review, and memory pinned to git state — running entirely on your laptop. ### The problem Your AI agent edits `UserService.validate()`. It doesn't know that 47 other functions call it. Breaking changes ship. Tests pass because they mock the dependency. Sverklo gives your agent the dependency graph, the blast radius, and the risk score — before it writes a single line.
