### Description (declared)

# Claude LFR MCP

Lightning fast CPU-based semantic code search for Claude Code. Uses configurable embedding models and Qdrant vector database to provide intelligent code retrieval without requiring GPU resources.

## Quick Start

### Prerequisites

A running Qdrant instance is required. Start one with Docker:

```bash
docker run -p 6333:6333 qdrant/qdrant
```

### Installation

```bash
uv tool install claude-lfr-mcp
```

### Claude Code Setup

Add the MCP server to Claude Code project:

```bash
claude mcp add claude-lfr -- claude-lfr-mcp
```

Verify the installation:

```
/mcp
```

You should see `claude-lfr` listed with its available tools.

Then ask claude to `index codebase`.

## Embedding Models

This tool supports multiple embedding models, allowing you to choose the best tradeoff between speed, memory usage, and retrieval quality for your use case.

### Model Comparison

| Model | Dimension | Size | Speed | Quality | Best For |
|-------|-----------|------|-------|---------|----------|
| `all-MiniLM-L6-v2` | 384 | ~90MB | Fastest | Good | Quick prototyping, CI pipelines, large codebases |
| `bge-small-en-v1.5` | 384 | ~67MB | Fast | Good+ | Balance of speed and accuracy |
| `snowflake-arctic-embed-xs` | 384 | ~90MB | Fast | Good+ | Modern alternative to MiniLM |
| `snowflake-arctic-embed-s` | 384 | ~130MB | Medium | Better | Production use with speed needs |
| `bge-base-en-v1.5` | 768 | ~438MB | Slower | Best | **Default** - Best retrieval quality |
| `nomic-embed-text-v1.5` | 768 | ~130MB | Medium | Better | When using Nomic ecosystem |

### Model Details

**all-MiniLM-L6-v2**
- ✅ Fastest inference, smallest memory footprint
- ✅ No query prefix required (simpler usage)
- ❌ Lower retrieval accuracy than larger models
- Best for: CI/CD pipelines, quick iteration, very large codebases where speed matters

**bge-small-en-v1.5**
- ✅ Excellent speed with better accuracy than MiniLM
- ✅ Smallest download size (~67MB)
- ❌ Requires "query: " prefix (handled automatic…
