vexp — AI Context Engine for Claude Code, Cursor & Copilot

Right context in. Verified work out. 100% on your machine.

Your AI agent wastes most of its budget exploring your codebase before writing a line of code.
vexp pre-indexes your project locally and feeds any agent only the relevant code — 87% fewer tokens per call — then checks the work when it's done.

Installs Rating Local-first


Install and you're done

Install the extension, open your project. vexp detects your AI agents, writes their config, builds a local graph of your code, and stays out of your way. No login. No API key. No CLI to install. One click and every AI agent in your editor gains context awareness.

Works out of the box with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex, Zed, Cline, Aider, opencode and more — 14 agents in total.

What it does

⚡ Feeds your agent only the code that matters

AI agents read whole files and drown their context window in code that doesn't matter. vexp builds a dependency graph of your project with tree-sitter and returns just the pivot files — the exact functions, classes and call sites the task touches, with line ranges and blast radius. The result: 87% fewer tokens per call, faster responses, sharper answers. Measured on real usage.

🔍 Verifies the work when the agent says it's done (new in 2.5)

Agents love to declare victory while leaving a broken import three files away. vexp's mechanical check reports what's provably broken or incomplete — parse errors, imports broken by a rename, dependents that were never updated, files the task promised and never produced — each with file and line. No model grades anything; it's pure git + tree-sitter + code graph.

🛡️ Shows what your code exposes to AI (new in 2.5)

Run vexp: Shield Scan from the Command Palette. vexp reports the emails, API keys, tokens, IBANs and private keys sitting in your comments and string literals that every AI agent reading your code currently sees — deterministic, local, masked in the report.

🩺 Diagnoses itself

vexp: Doctor in the palette checks daemon health, version skew, license and hooks in one place. Updates surface a one-click restart when needed.

🔒 100% on your machine

Zero network calls. Zero cloud indexing. Your code never leaves your laptop — a requirement for fintech, healthcare, defense, or any team with IP worth protecting, not a nice-to-have.

Command Palette

  • vexp: Shield Scan — find PII and secrets any AI agent can read
  • vexp: Doctor — diagnose daemon, version, license, hooks
  • vexp: Restart Daemon — clean restart after an update

Supported languages

TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Rust, Go, Java, Kotlin, Scala, C, C++, C#, Ruby, PHP, Swift, Objective-C, Lua, Dart, Elixir, Clojure, Haskell, OCaml, F#, Zig, Bash, SQL, and more — 34 languages via tree-sitter.

Pricing

Free for a personal project. Pro and Team plans unlock larger graphs, multi-repo workspaces, and the savings dashboard. Everything runs on your machine on every plan.
