### Description (declared)

# codetex-mcp

A commit-aware code context manager for LLMs. Indexes Git repositories into a multi-tier knowledge hierarchy — repo overviews, file summaries, and symbol details — stored in SQLite with vector search. Serves context to LLM clients via the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) (MCP) or a local CLI.

## What It Does

codetex builds a structured, searchable index of your codebase that LLMs can query on demand:

- **Tier 1 — Repo Overview:** Purpose, architecture, directory structure, key technologies, entry points
- **Tier 2 — File Summaries:** Per-file purpose, public interfaces, dependencies, roles
- **Tier 3 — Symbol Details:** Function/class signatures, parameters, return types, call relationships

Summaries are generated by an LLM (Anthropic Claude). Embeddings are computed locally with [sentence-transformers](https://www.sbert.net/) for semantic search. Everything is stored in a single SQLite database with [sqlite-vec](https://github.com/asg017/sqlite-vec) for vector queries.

Incremental sync means only changed files are re-analyzed when you update your code.

## Requirements

- Python 3.12+
- Git
- An [Anthropic API key](https://console.anthropic.com/) (for indexing)

## Installation

```bash
# With pip
pip install codetex-mcp

# With uv (recommended)
uv tool install codetex-mcp
```

## Quick Start

### 1. Set your Anthropic API key

```bash
# Via environment variable
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...

# Or via config
codetex config set llm.api_key sk-ant-...
```

### 2. Add a repository

```bash
# Local repo
codetex add /path/to/your/project

# Remote repo (clones to ~/.codetex/repos/)
codetex add https://github.com/user/repo.git
```

### 3. Index it

```bash
# Preview what indexing will cost (no API calls)
codetex index my-project --dry-run

# Build the full index
codetex index my-project
```

### 4. Query your codebase

```bash
# Repo overview (Tier 1)
codetex context my-project

# File summary (Tier 2)
codetex context …
