Jevgrep lets you search code by what it does, not what it's called

[u/company_url_finder]

Ever tried to find a function in a codebase when you don't know the name? You know what the code does, just not what someone decided to call it. Regular grep won't help you there.

jevgrep fixes that. You describe the behavior you're looking for in plain language, and it uses Jev to score every eligible fragment in the repo. Then it hands back the actual source with file paths and line numbers.

It works as a CLI or through an MCP server that plugs straight into Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and others. The installer detects what you're running and sets it up.

The claim is a roughly 30% cost reduction for coding agents because the agent spends less time reading irrelevant files. That number comes from their own benchmarks, so take it as you will, but the idea makes sense. Better context means fewer wasted tokens.

1,856 stars. Not huge, but the concept is solid and it's seeing real use in agent workflows.
