What is Code Index MCP?
Code Index MCP is a server that indexes, searches, and analyzes code within project directories, designed to be used with large language models (LLMs) through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It allows LLMs to understand and interact with codebases more effectively.
How to use Code Index MCP?
To use Code Index MCP, first install uv for dependency management. Then, clone the repository and run the server using uv run run.py. Integrate it with Claude Desktop by adding a configuration entry pointing to the server's execution command. Set the project path via Claude command, and then use commands to search, analyze, and navigate the code.
