Codemogger runs a little server on your computer. This server keeps the code data organized. Other programs or AI agents connect to this server to get the code they need.
You don’t have to interact with the server directly. Everything happens inside the codemogger program. It handles the work quietly so you can focus on searching and accessing code.
Checking for updates regularly ensures codemogger works well with new code types and fixes bugs.
