Description from the maker (original English)
Local code search for AI coding agents: hybrid keyword + semantic + SQL over an index in your repo.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.
We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Retrieval + inference offload for AI coding agents. Help your agents find answers faster and at lower cost, while keeping the same answer quality. Particularly useful for cheaper models.
[Try it live at infino.ai/supergrep](https://infino.ai/supergrep) - put a question to a real codebase and watch the same model answer it with and without SuperGrep, side by side, with the bill for each. Supergrep uses Infino for retrieval, which tightly integrates small language models with indexes for scalable agent retrieval on object storage.
SuperGrep offers agents four tools over an Infino index, kept in two places. find and plain sql run on your machine, over the keyword index. Conversely, anything with meaning in it - search, a sql statement with a ranked search inside it, and ask - runs in the Infino cloud, so heavy compute and embeddings stays off your laptop. Infino also embeds inference models in its service, so several small models work the index at once and hand your agent the rows they found. Your agent keeps the reasoning, writes the answer, and decides when to use SuperGrep. No configuration.
The four tools, one line each - for the agent reading this
| tool | what it does |
|---|---|
find | Every line containing an exact string, like grep -n: complete, unranked, with the repo-wide total and per-file counts. Tens of milliseconds from the index. |
search | One ranked pass fusing exact keyword matching with semantic similarity, so it works whether or not you know the words. Hits carry the code, cited path:line. |
sql | Read-only SQL over the index. The ranked searches are table-valued, so "which files have the most code about X" ranks and tallies in one query. |
ask | A question that spans the repository, handed to small models on the Infino service that run the investigation against the index and return the rows they found, cited path:line, rather than prose. Several asks run at once. |
find answers with every caller and the counts in one call, and ask reads the paths that matter, so the review is about the change rather than about finding it.The model's own file tools stayed available throughout. What it had from SuperGrep was the server's instructions, which say which tool fits which kind of question; the choice on each call was the model's. The calls that are not SuperGrep are mostly Read: the model opens a file *after* the index has told it which one, rather than instead of asking. That is the shape you want - the index does the finding, and the model still opens what it needs to quote.
SuperGrep looks across all the files a question needs, not just the source. Logs, test output, stack traces, CI output, configuration and docs go in beside the code - .log, .out, .err, .jsonl and .ndjson are chunked at record boundaries, so a stack trace stays with the message that explains it - and the same four tools run over all of it: find for an exact stack frame, search for a failure you can only describe, sql to count and rank across a run, ask for the question that spans several of them at once.
That matters most where a frontier model is weakest. A log is the pathological case for a context window - large, repetitive, mostly irrelevant, and paid for again on every turn it stays in the transcript. An index collapses it to the spans that matter before the model sees any of it. On a public benchmark of CI-failure diagnosis, scored by the benchmark's own judge, that puts SuperGrep second on the score and first by a distance on score per token of context:
For files that don't fit on your laptop - write them out to Parquet files in object storage and point SuperGrep at them without ever loading them onto your laptop (how). You can search them together with your code or laptop files using the same tools.
The same model, the same 36 questions about a 256,000-line codebase, with and without SuperGrep. Every answer was checked against the code. Fully correct means every claim held and the whole question was answered. The bill is everything you pay: your model, its subagents, and SuperGrep.
How the runs were set up
Real agent runs through the Claude Agent SDK, the same minimal prompt in every arm, on the infino engine repository, measured 2026-09-24. Thirty-six questions in five categories: aggregation (10), comprehension (6), by meaning (6), pinpoint (8), known file (6). The file-tools arm is stock Claude Code: Glob, Grep, Read, LS, Bash, and the Agent tool with the built-in Explore subagent. The SuperGrep arm is the same plus the four tools above. The judge is Opus 5.5.
Your mileage will vary with the model.
It wins on questions about the whole codebase: counts, rankings, every occurrence. Grep gives the first forty matches; an index gives the total. It loses on finding one named thing with a large model, which reads whole files well.
23 correct answers to their 25, for $1.09 instead of $6.32 (Opus) or $19.36 (Fable).
Two commands, once per machine. You need Claude Code and node 22 or newer, on macOS or Linux.
claude plugin marketplace add infino-ai/supergrep
claude plugin install supergrep@infino-ai
(The plugin was called code-context before; an earlier install is replaced with claude plugin uninstall code-context@infino-ai and the two commands above. The MCP server inside keeps its name, so nothing the agent learned changes.)
That is the setup. Open Claude Code in any directory - a repository, a folder of logs, your notes, anything - and ask a question. The first question indexes the directory, and find, sql and read answer from then on. Nothing is configured per directory, no account exists yet, and nothing has left your machine.
search and ask are the cloud half - the embeddings and the retrieval loop run on the Infino platform, over a copy of the index kept there - and they need an account. The first time a question needs them, Claude tells you the one command and does not run it, because it is yours to run. Once, in a terminal:
npx -y @infino-ai/code-context login --platform https://api.supergrep.infino.ai
A free account, no credit card required. There is no form, no email, no password and no card, and nothing is created without your say-so: the command tells you that the contents of the directories you use search and ask in will be uploaded to Infino, asks, and only on your yes creates the account and stores its key at ~/.infino/key, mode 600, readable only by you. No config file ever holds a key or a path to one. Infino is SOC 2 Type 2 certified.
Keep that key. Because the free account asks for no email and no card, the key is the only thing that identifies you: it is how you get back in, and nothing else can. Back it up somewhere safe. When you add your details in the Infino console the same account gains a sign-in, and keys can be managed from there.
Restart the session and every directory you open has all four tools. Each one gets its own database on your account, named after the directory and loaded the first time you use search or ask there - a directory you only ever find in is never uploaded. One server answers for every directory a session touches: the tools take a path, so a session that spans several projects names the one it means. When the free credit runs out, ask says so and tells you how to add billing details and a card to the same account; find and plain sql keep working throughout.
Sign in once per machine instead. The key comes from a file or standard input, never from an argument - argv is readable by every process on the machine - and --yes is the same agreement the sign-up asks for, since a piped key leaves no terminal to ask on:
npx -y @infino-ai/code-context login --db https://api.supergrep.infino.ai --yes < keyfile
Cursor, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Windsurf and Cline take the same server over stdio. cx install in a repository writes its entry into .mcp.json there (--config for another client's file); with the account stored it names the repository's database and nothing else, --local-only writes the keyword-only entry, and install --platform https://api.supergrep.infino.ai is the sign-up and the entry in one for a ma
