Deadzone MCP Server

Your AI client says "how do I register a tool?". The doc says AddTool. A grep-based index shrugs; a vector index doesn't. Deadzone is the vector index - nomic-embed-text-v1.5 over Turso's native cosine distance, wrapped in a Go binary that speaks MCP over stdio and keeps every byte on your laptop. It is, roughly, Context7 with the internet turned off.

People who need documentation tools inside Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Go.
