Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

v3.2.13

Published

An enhanced MCP server providing intelligent semantic code search with find-similar-code, recency ranking, and improved chunking. Fork of smart-coding-mcp.

Readme

Heuristic MCP Server

Heuristic MCP adds smart code search to your editor or MCP client.

Requirements

  • Node.js 18+
  • npm (for global install)
  • Internet access at least once to download the embedding model (if install-time download is skipped, it downloads on first run)
  • 64-bit Node.js recommended for native ONNX performance; on Windows, install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x64) if native bindings fail

Install

npm install -g @softerist/heuristic-mcp

Then enable it for your client:

heuristic-mcp --start

If your editor was already open, reload it once.

How It Works

  1. The server scans your workspace and builds a searchable index of your code.
  2. IDE AI models/MCP tools query that index using plain language so you can find relevant code quickly.
  3. Results improve as your index stays up to date with project changes.

Basic Commands

heuristic-mcp --status
heuristic-mcp --logs
heuristic-mcp --stop

Use heuristic-mcp --status first if something looks off. Use heuristic-mcp --cache to see the cache status or file index progress.
