Security

SYKE remains local-first. The MCP server reads your project locally and performs dependency analysis on your machine.

What stays local

Data	Location
Source code	Your machine
Dependency graph	Your machine
Impact-analysis results	Your machine

Optional AI requests

If you configure your own AI provider key, selected code is sent directly from your local SYKE process to that provider for semantic analysis. SYKE does not proxy those requests through a licensing service.
