## Overview

Code Index MCP is a [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that bridges the gap between AI models and complex codebases. It provides intelligent indexing, advanced search capabilities, and detailed code analysis to help AI assistants understand and navigate your projects effectively.

**Perfect for:** Code review, refactoring, documentation generation, debugging assistance, and architectural analysis.

## Key Features

### 🔍 **Intelligent Search & Analysis**
- **Advanced Search**: Auto-detects and uses the best available tool (ugrep, ripgrep, ag, or grep)
- **Regex Support**: Full regex pattern matching with ReDoS attack prevention
- **Fuzzy Search**: True fuzzy matching with edit distance (ugrep) or word boundary patterns
- **File Analysis**: Deep insights into structure, imports, classes, methods, and complexity metrics

### 🗂️ **Multi-Language Support**
- **Mainstream Languages**: Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, C/C++, Go, Rust, C#
- **Mobile Development**: Swift, Kotlin, Objective-C/C++, React Native

- **JVM Ecosystem**: Java, Kotlin, Scala, Groovy
- **Others**: Lua, Perl, R, MATLAB, configuration files
- **50+ File Types Total** - [View complete list](#supported-file-types)

### ⚡ **Real-time Monitoring & Auto-refresh**
- **File Watcher**: Automatic index updates when files change
- **Cross-platform**: Native OS file system monitoring (inotify, FSEvents, ReadDirectoryChangesW)
- **Smart Debouncing**: Batches rapid changes to prevent excessive rebuilds (default: 6 seconds)
- **Thread-safe**: Non-blocking background operations with ThreadPoolExecutor

### ⚡ **Performance & Efficiency**
- **Smart Indexing**: Recursively scans with intelligent filtering of build directories
- **Persistent Caching**: Stores indexes for lightning-fast subsequent access

## Quick Start

### 🚀 **Recommended Setup (Most Users)**

The easiest way to get started with any MCP-compatible application:

**Prerequisites:** Python 3.10+ and [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv)

1. **Add to your MCP configuration** (e.g., `claude_desktop_config.json` or `~/.claude.json`):
   ```json
   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "code-index": {
         "command": "uvx",
         "args": ["code-index-mcp"]
       }
     }
   }
   ```

2. **Restart your application** – `uvx` automatically handles installation and execution

### 🛠️ **Development Setup**

For contributing or local development:

1. **Clone and install:**
   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/johnhuang316/code-index-mcp.git
   cd code-index-mcp
   uv sync
   ```

2. **Configure for local development:**
   ```json
   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "code-index": {
         "command": "uv",
         "args": ["run", "code-index-mcp"]
       }
     }
   }
   ```

3. **Debug with MCP Inspector:**
   ```bash
   npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run code-index-mcp
   ```

<details>
<summary><strong>Alternative: Manual pip Installation</strong></summary>

If you prefer traditional pip management:

```bash
pip install code-index-mcp
```

Then configure:
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "code-index": {
      "command": "code-index-mcp",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}
```

## Usage Examples

### 🎯 **Quick Start Workflow**

**1. Initialize Your Project**
```
Set the project path to /Users/dev/my-react-app
```
*Automatically indexes your codebase and creates searchable cache*

**2. Explore Project Structure**
```
Find all TypeScript component files in src/components
```
*Uses: `find_files` with pattern `src/components/**/*.tsx`*

**3. Analyze Key Files**
```
Give me a summary of src/api/userService.ts
```
*Uses: `get_file_summary` to show functions, imports, and complexity*

### 🔍 **Advanced Search Examples**

<details>
<summary><strong>Code Pattern Search</strong></summary>

```
Search for all function calls matching "get.*Data" using regex
```
*Finds: `getData()`, `getUserData()`, `getFormData()`, etc.*

</details>

<details>
<summary><strong>Fuzzy Function Search</strong></summary>

```
Find authentication-related functions with fuzzy search for 'authUser'
```
*Matches: `authenticateUser`, `authUserToken`, `userAuthCheck`, etc.*

</details>

<details>
<summary><strong>Language-Specific Search</strong></summary>

```
Search for "API_ENDPOINT" only in Python files
```
*Uses: `search_code_advanced` with `file_pattern: "*.py"`*

</details>

<details>
<summary><strong>Auto-refresh Configuration</strong></summary>

```
Configure automatic index updates when files change
```
*Uses: `configure_file_watcher` to enable/disable monitoring and set debounce timing*

</details>

<details>
<summary><strong>Project Maintenance</strong></summary>

```
I added new components, please refresh the project index
```
*Uses: `refresh_index` to update the searchable cache*

</details>

## Troubleshooting

### 🔄 **Auto-refresh Not Working**

If automatic index updates aren't working when files change, try:
- `pip install watchdog` (may resolve environment isolation issues)
- Use manual refresh: Call the `refresh_index` tool after making file changes
- Check file watcher status: Use `get_file_watcher_status` to verify monitoring is active

## Development & Contributing
