About Gabb
CLI tools engineered to accelerate AI coding assistants
Our Mission
We build lightweight CLI tools that give AI coding assistants instant access to code structure and symbol information. By pre-indexing your codebase into a local SQLite database, Gabb enables AI assistants to navigate code semantically rather than through trial-and-error text searches.
The result: faster responses, fewer wasted API calls, and AI assistants that truly understand your code.
Open Source First
Gabb CLI is fully open source under the MIT license. We believe developer tools should be transparent, auditable, and community-driven. Your code never leaves your machine—all indexing happens locally.
We welcome contributions, bug reports, and feature requests on GitHub. Join our community of developers making AI coding assistants more effective.
Technical Philosophy
Performance Matters
Built in Rust for speed and reliability. Gabb indexes codebases with millions of lines without breaking a sweat.
Privacy by Design
Your code stays on your machine. The SQLite index is local, and nothing is transmitted to external servers.
Zero Configuration
Run gabb setup and you're done. Automatic
workspace detection, sensible defaults, and live file
watching.
Standards-Based
Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for seamless integration with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and other MCP clients.
The Company
Gabb is developed by Gabb Software Ltd, a company registered in the United Kingdom (Company No. 15503379). We're focused on building tools that make developers more productive when working with AI assistants.
