About

What is Sqry?

Sqry is a powerful semantic code search engine designed to help developers navigate and understand complex codebases. Unlike traditional string-based search tools, Sqry parses source code into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) and builds a graph of symbols and relationships, enabling structural queries. This allows users to search code by its meaning and structure, rather than just keywords. It supports 35 programming languages and integrates with 33 Multi-Compiler Project (MCP) tools, as well as popular editors like VSCode, Neovim, and Helix. Sqry executes locally, ensuring privacy and speed, and can answer complex questions like finding function callers, callees, or tracing execution paths, which are beyond the capabilities of standard grep tools. It also offers AI assistant integration and CI checks for dead code and circular dependencies.

Best used for

Ideal for developers and software engineers who need to precisely locate code based on its structure, understand complex code relationships, and identify potential issues like dead code. Especially valuable for large codebases and when traditional string-based search falls short.

FAQs

What programming languages does Sqry support?

Sqry supports 35 programming languages, including C, C++, Rust, Shell, Zig, JavaScript, TypeScript, Dart, Kotlin, Swift, Scala, C#, Go, Java, Python, Ruby, PHP, Lua, R, Groovy, Elixir, SQL, Svelte, Vue, HTML, CSS, Haskell, Perl, Terraform, Puppet, Pulumi, Apex, ABAP, PL/SQL, and ServiceNow.

How does Sqry differ from traditional code search tools like grep?

Sqry differs by performing semantic code search. Instead of just matching strings, it parses code into an AST and builds a graph of symbols, allowing queries based on code structure and relationships. This enables finding function callers, callees, or execution paths, which grep cannot do.

Can Sqry be integrated into my development environment?

Yes, Sqry offers integration with popular editors like VSCode, Neovim, and Helix via its Language Server Protocol (LSP) support. It also integrates with AI assistants such as Claude, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, and Windsurf, and can be used in CI pipelines for checks like dead code detection.
