# semantic-code-mcp

> Use this tool when you need to efficiently search and retrieve specific code snippets within large Python codebases using natural language queries. It solves problems of tedious manual searching and text-based matching by providing semantic search capabilities based on code meaning. The tool takes in natural language queries as input and outputs relevant code snippets, making it ideal for use cases such as code reuse, debugging, and knowledge discovery.
