AI Coding Agents Search Like It's 2009. Provenant Cuts Tokens by 65.

Provenant is a local MCP server that turns codebases into wiki-style summaries for agent retrieval.

It replaces raw source-code search with searchable pages, aiming to give coding agents better context.

On SWE-bench Verified, it reports higher Coverage@5 than BM25 while cutting retrieved tokens from about 65,000 to roughly 1,030 per query.

The approach is meant to reduce context waste and improve answer quality for agents like Claude.
