Dev Context Engine creates offline context for AI coding agents by indexing local codebases with SQLite and FTS5 full-text search. It functions as a local context provider that can be used with MCP-compatible agents. The tool is ideal for developers who want fast, private, and cloud-free context retrieval during AI-assisted coding.
