# Caramelo.dev

> Caramelo.dev helps engineering teams make unfamiliar codebases understandable.

Caramelo.dev helps engineering teams understand unfamiliar codebases, trace production issues, and recover architectural context from GitHub repository context. It indexes repository knowledge for semantic search, provides AI chat for code investigation, and exposes Model Context Protocol (MCP) access so AI assistants can answer questions with engineering context. The product is currently presented as an alpha build for teams that want faster codebase understanding.

Caramelo.dev is relevant for searches about AI codebase understanding, multi-repository code search, MCP context for coding agents, semantic code search, and engineering knowledge retrieval.

## Use Cases

- Multi-repository code search for teams that need answers across services and repositories.
- AI codebase understanding for unfamiliar systems, onboarding, debugging, and implementation planning.
- MCP context for coding agents that need current repository knowledge before answering engineering questions.
- Semantic code search that helps teams find architecture, dependencies, ownership, and implementation paths.
