### Description (declared)

# cocoindex-mcp

Semantic code search for Model Context Protocol clients, powered by cocoindex flows and a Postgres + pgvector backend.

---

## At a glance

- 🔍 **Semantic search** over the embeddings produced by the cocoindex `CodeEmbedding` flow.
- 🤝 **MCP-native** stdio server that drops straight into Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP hosts.
- ⚙️ **Zero-surprise configuration** via a single `COCOINDEX_DATABASE_URL` environment variable (with `.env` support).
- 🚀 **Packaged for uv** – run it instantly with `uvx --from yalattas/cocoindex-mcp cocoindex-mcp`.

## How it works

The server wraps a cocoindex flow that embeds local source files into a Postgres table called `code_embeddings`. Every query is transformed with the same SentenceTransformer model and matched against the stored vectors using cosine similarity via `pgvector`. Results are streamed back to the MCP client with file paths, the matched snippet, score, and optional line numbers.

Internally the server is built with:

- [`mcp.server.fastmcp`](https://pypi.org/project/mcp/) to expose stdio-based MCP tools.
- [`cocoindex`](https://pypi.org/project/cocoindex/) for defining and running the embedding flow.
- [`psycopg_pool`](https://www.psycopg.org/psycopg3/docs/pool.html) and `pgvector` for high-throughput vector queries.
- [`python-dotenv`](https://pypi.org/project/python-dotenv/) to honor environment files automatically.

## Prerequisites

1. **Python** ≥ 3.11 (only needed for local installs; `uvx` ships its own runtime).
2. **PostgreSQL** with the [`pgvector`](https://github.com/pgvector/pgvecto…
