+"""Look up a local code entity through PraisonAI's existing MCP client.
+
+Install: pip install 'praisonaiagents[mcp]'
+Install Sem separately: https://github.com/Ataraxy-Labs/sem#installation
+Run: python sem-mcp.py /path/to/git/repository function_name
+Add --ask to have an agent explain the result (requires OPENAI_API_KEY).
+
+The default path calls the tool directly: no model credentials or inference.
+Only sem_find is exposed. Repository source stays local to the MCP process;
+with --ask, retrieved context is sent to the configured model provider.
+The repository argument is a lookup scope, not a filesystem security boundary.
