Hawkeye AI Bridge
Connects AI assistants to Hawkeye's local search engine for navigating large codebases without uploading code. Exposes nine MCP tools that let Claude or Copilot find references to classes, functions, symbols, assets, and localization keys across indexed projects. Runs entirely on-premises with no AI-based indexing. The main win is token efficiency: instead of reading files blindly, your assistant queries Hawkeye first and gets back precise locations, cutting context usage by roughly 80%. Requires both Hawkeye and Hawkeye AI Bridge installed locally. Works with Claude Desktop (via .mcpb), Claude Code, VS Code Copilot in Agent mode, Cursor, and OpenCode. Includes a skill file so Claude knows when to reach for search instead of guessing.

Local codebase search for Claude Code, VS Code, Cursor, and AI agents.
Hawkeye AI Bridge lets AI coding assistants query Hawkeye’s local project index through MCP, so they can find exact references across large codebases, assets, scripts, localization, config files, and project content without uploading the full repository.
Instead of giving an AI agent huge raw grep output, Hawkeye can return compact file/line results that help the agent decide which files are actually worth reading next.
