Neuledge vs. Deepcon
Deepcon (by Opactor AI) is a cloud-hosted MCP server that focuses on token-optimized documentation retrieval with a query decomposition engine. Here's how the two tools compare.
Feature Comparison
| Neuledge | Deepcon | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free (Apache 2.0) | Free tier / $8/mo basic / $20/mo pro |
| Rate limits | None | 100/mo free · 1,000 basic · 5,000 pro |
| Latency | <10ms (local SQLite) | 5–7 seconds |
| Works offline | Yes | No |
| Privacy | 100% local — no data leaves your machine | Cloud-processed · no published privacy policy |
| Version pinning | Exact git tags | Not documented |
| Private repos | Free (runs locally) | Not available |
| Open source | Full (Apache 2.0) | No |
| Setup | context add <repo> | MCP config + API key |
| Language support | Any docs in Git (language-agnostic) | Python, JS/TS, Go, Rust |
| Token efficiency | You control chunk size | ~2,365 tokens/query avg |
The Core Difference
Deepcon is a cloud AI service — it uses a "Query Composer" model to decompose your request, search across 10,000+ pre-indexed docs, and return token-optimized excerpts. Neuledge is a local tool — it builds a SQLite index from the exact docs you choose and serves queries from disk.
Deepcon optimizes for answer quality per token. Neuledge optimizes for speed, privacy, and unlimited usage. Different priorities lead to different trade-offs.
Where Neuledge Wins
No Rate Limits
Deepcon's free tier gives you 100 requests/month — that's roughly 3 per day. Even the $20/month pro plan caps at 5,000. Neuledge has no limits at all, which matters during intensive coding sessions where your agent makes dozens of lookups.
500x Faster
Deepcon's query decomposition and cloud search takes 5–7 seconds per query. Neuledge returns results in under 10ms. When your AI agent is making multiple lookups per task, this difference compounds.
Full Privacy
Deepcon has no published privacy policy. Your queries pass through their cloud servers with no documented guarantees about data retention or usage. Neuledge processes everything locally — nothing leaves your machine.
Open Source
Deepcon is fully closed source — you can't inspect, audit, or self-host it. Neuledge is Apache 2.0 licensed with the full source available on GitHub.
Any Documentation Source
Deepcon is limited to Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, and Rust libraries. Neuledge indexes docs from any Git repo regardless of language — including your own internal documentation.
Free for Everyone
Deepcon charges $8–20/month for reasonable usage limits. Neuledge is completely free with no caps, no per-seat pricing, and no paid tiers.
Where Deepcon Wins
Deepcon has some genuine advantages worth considering.
Token Optimization
Deepcon's query decomposition engine returns highly targeted doc excerpts, averaging ~2,365 tokens per query. This can be an advantage when working with LLMs that have tight context windows or when minimizing token costs matters.
Zero Setup
Deepcon comes with 10,000+ pre-indexed libraries. You add the MCP config and start querying — no need to manually add each library. For developers who want instant coverage, this saves initial setup time.
Query Intelligence
Deepcon's AI-powered query decomposition can handle complex, multi-part questions by breaking them into sub-queries. Neuledge uses BM25 full-text search — effective for keyword-based lookups, but not designed for complex question answering.
Automatic Updates
Deepcon keeps its indexed documentation up to date automatically.
With Neuledge, you re-run context add
when you want updated docs.
Switch from Deepcon
Moving from Deepcon to Neuledge takes a few steps.
1. Install Neuledge
2. Add the libraries you use
3. Update your MCP config
Replace the Deepcon MCP server entry with Neuledge's. See integrations for editor-specific instructions.
4. Remove Deepcon
Delete the Deepcon MCP config entry and revoke your API key.
