claude-context
Code search MCP for Claude Code. Make entire codebase the context for any coding agent.
Claude Code doesn't do anything with semantic search or embeddings out of the box. They use a simple grep tool instead.
Neither does OpenAI's Codex CLI - you can confirm that by looking at the source code https://github.com/openai/codex
Cursor and Windsurf both use semantic search via embeddings.
You can get semantic search in Claude Code using this unofficial plugin: https://github.com/zilliztech/claude-context

vscode-gitlens
Supercharge Git inside VS Code and unlock untapped knowledge within each repository — Visualize code authorship at a glance via Git blame annotations and CodeLens, seamlessly navigate and explore Git repositories, gain valuable insights via rich visualizations and powerful comparison commands, and so much more
-
vscode-drawio
This unofficial extension integrates Draw.io (also known as diagrams.net) into VS Code.
One example of that: I spent a whole day poking at the hediet/vscode-drawio extension because I really liked and and I use drawio a lot for schoolwork, so it looked like a great place to contribute. The repo embeds the draw.io project and many parts are tightly coupled to that upstream code. I picked a change that I thought was safe to make inside the extension, but after digging deeper I discovered the behavior I wanted actually required changing drawio itself. That was frustrating as I’d spent time understanding the repo only to have to abandon my attempt. I feel like finding the right repo and the right issue is a skill. I think and hope with more time and exposure to open source I’ll get better at spotting good matches faster.

Not only that but many new editors straigh up ship vim mode now like Zed, Obsidian etc. The main vscode neovim plugin¹ is very big too with over 500k unique installs. Clearly VIM is not going away anytime soon.

Project mention: Jules, our asynchronous coding agent, is now available for everyone | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-08-06
Can't even clone a repo with submodules in it
Submodule 'static/vscode-icons' (https://github.com/vscode-icons/vscode-icons.git) registered for path 'static/vscode-icons' Cloning into '/app/static/vscode-icons'... fatal: remote error: upload-pack: not our ref 2d4abd090bf67132d0946f8622d1252ecf1f8478 fatal: Fetched in submodule path 'static/vscode-icons', but it did not contain 2d4abd090bf67132d0946f8622d1252ecf1f8478. Direct fetching of that commit failed.
And it used up a task for the scaffold process.
