# Your code stays on your machine

## What codedb does

codedb is a local code intelligence server. It indexes your codebase on your machine and serves queries over stdio (MCP) or localhost HTTP. No code, file contents, or query data ever leaves your machine.

## Data that stays local

Source code
Never transmitted. All indexing and queries happen in-process.
File paths
Never transmitted. Used only for local index lookups.
Search queries
Never transmitted. Processed entirely in local memory.
Index data
Trigrams, outlines, word index. All stored in local memory only.

## Network access

codedb makes zero network requests during normal operation. The MCP server communicates over stdio. The HTTP server binds to localhost only.

The only network activity is the install script, which downloads the binary from codedb.codegraff.com.

## Website telemetry

This website (codedb.codegraff.com) uses basic analytics to understand traffic patterns. No personal data is collected. No cookies are set. No third-party trackers are loaded.

## Snapshots

The codedb_snapshot tool generates a JSON representation of your codebase for faster MCP startup. This file is stored locally and is never uploaded anywhere.

## Open source

codedb is fully open source. You can audit every line of code to verify these claims.
