Shared knowledge cache for AI coding agents — reuse an answer once it exists.

VerifiedStreamable HTTPWeb executableKnowledge & MemoryDeveloper Tools

Overview

AI-generated overview

A remote MCP server that lets an AI coding assistant look up a shared cache of programming answers before searching the web.

What you can do
Look up the shared programming knowledge cache for error meanings, library usage and how-tos, returning a cached answer when one exists and otherwise letting the original search proceed.
When to use it
Worth adding when an assistant frequently searches the web for common error messages, library behavior or configuration details and you want to reuse answers others already found. The cache is young, so hits are not guaranteed.
Requirements
Remote endpoint at aieph.dev over streamable HTTP; no account or API key is required. The README's Claude Code hook setup needs Node.js 18+ and optional environment variables AIEPH_API_BASE and LOOKUP_TIMEOUT_MS.
Before you install
Only the search query text is sent for matching, and the tool asks that user code, files and chat history not be sent. Queries are PII-masked and logged anonymously. Answers come from a shared third-party cache, so treat them as unverified.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Aieph in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/dev.aieph%2Faieph/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

aieph

your fix, everyone's gain

aieph is a shared answer cache for AI coding assistants.

When an AI coding assistant is about to search the web, a small hook can quietly ask: "Does someone already have the answer?"

If the answer is already in the shared cache, aieph can return it right away — avoiding another trip to the web. If there is no answer, aieph simply gets out of the way.

MISS, timeout, or error? Nothing breaks. The original request continues as usual. That is the whole idea.

Your fix can become everyone's gain.

Why a shared cache?

AI coding assistants often look up the same kinds of things:

  • a familiar error message
  • a library's behavior
  • a configuration detail
  • a solution someone has already found

The first person does the searching. The next person doesn't necessarily need to. aieph gives those answers a place to be shared, and as more people use it, the cache can gradually become more useful.

It's still early, so a cache hit is not guaranteed. Sometimes aieph simply won't have the answer yet — and that's perfectly fine.

How it feels

text
AI assistant     │     │  "I'm about to search..."     ▼   aieph     │     ├── HIT  → answer is already here     │     └── MISS / timeout / error              │              ▼          original search

aieph is designed to stay out of the way. There is no need to change how you work when the cache doesn't have something useful.

Getting started with Claude Code

Claude Code can use aieph with a single PreToolUse hook for WebSearch and WebFetch. A small setup looks like this:

bash
git clone https://github.com/tryaieph/aieph.git

Then, in ~/.claude/settings.json, the relevant hook can look like:

json
{  "hooks": {    "PreToolUse": [      {        "matcher": "WebSearch|WebFetch",        "hooks": [          {            "type": "command",            "command": "node /path/to/aieph/hook/aieph-cache.mjs"          }        ]      }    ]  }}

That's it.

Requirements: Node.js 18+. No account or API key is required.

Optional environment variables:

text
AIEPH_API_BASELOOKUP_TIMEOUT_MS

Cursor support is being prepared.

Removing aieph

If aieph is no longer useful for you, removing the PreToolUse block is enough to return to the original setup.

What gets sent?

aieph is intentionally simple and transparent. Only the search query text is sent for matching. Nothing else is sent. There is no account to create and no personal profile to maintain. When there is no matching answer, the request passes through normally.

Local shared memory

aieph also includes a small local-only memory CLI in cli/. It is separate from the shared answer cache. The idea is simple: write a fact once, and let connected assistants remember it later. This memory stays completely local.

Early days, honest expectations

aieph is still growing. The shared cache is young, so there will be plenty of moments when it doesn't have an answer yet. That's intentional: aieph never needs to be perfect to be useful. A miss should feel exactly like there was no cache at all.

Over time, every useful answer someone discovers has the potential to help the next person.
