What it is

sqry is an open-source code analysis tool from Verivus Pty Ltd. It parses source code into an abstract syntax tree and a graph of symbols and relationships, then answers structural questions such as which functions call another. Its documented queries cover callers, callees, implementations, dependency cycles and unused symbols. The project lists 37 language plugins: 28 support full relation tracking, while nine extract symbols and imports. Users build an index before querying; it persists so later queries can load the cached graph snapshot. sqry runs locally on Linux, macOS and Windows, under the MIT license. Its maker says source code stays on the machine and the tool has no telemetry. It offers an MCP server for AI assistants, with 39 tools in standalone mode and a curated subset of 16 in daemon mode. An LSP server works with VS Code, Neovim, Helix and LSP 3.17 clients. Installers are listed for the three desktop platforms, as is cargo installation. Windows executables require bundled MinGW runtime DLLs; the release ZIP includes them.

Strong points and limits

Strong points

  • Free and open source under the MIT license.
  • Runs locally with no telemetry, according to its maker.
  • Lists 37 language plugins.
  • Queries callers, implementations, cycles and unused symbols.
  • Includes MCP and LSP servers.

Limits

  • Users must build an index before querying.
  • Nine language plugins provide only symbol and import extraction.
  • Windows executables require bundled MinGW runtime DLLs.

Who it suits

sqry suits developers who want to query code relationships locally or connect structural code queries to AI assistants and LSP-compatible editors. It runs on Linux, macOS and Windows.

Verdict

sqry offers local structural queries across a broad set of language plugins, with MCP and editor integrations. Build its index before querying, and account for the Windows runtime DLL requirement where relevant.
