mcp-code-snippets

# MCP Code Snippets This is an local adapter for MCP server that allows Agents to lookup code snippets in your project. Local MCP implementation allows to auto-fill some arguments for the remote MCP server, and therefore make lookup more accurate. If no results are found with these arguments, results without arguments are returned. By default, it uses Qdrant-maintaned remote MCP server with a collection of code snippets, but you can use your own collection by providing a custom MCP proxy configuration. ## Setup `mcp-code-snippets` should be available as an executable in your system, so that MCP client (like Cursor) can find it. ### Global installation Simplest option is to install it globally with `pip`: ```bash pip install mcp-code-snippets ``` In this way it will be available in your system path, and can be used by any MCP client. ### Project installation Install `mcp-code-snippets` with a package manager of your choice in your project. An example using `uv`: ```bash uv add mcp-code-snippets ``` > Note: it might be worth it to install `mcp-code-snippets` as a dev dependency, as it is not needed in production. ### Usage To start using `mcp-code-snippets` in your project, you need to configure MCP client to use it. #### Cursor Add the following to your `.cursor/mcp.json` file: ```json { "mcpServers": { "mcp-code-snippets": { "command": "mcp-code-snippets" } } } ``` ### Advanced configuration `mcp-code-snippest` has one cli argument: --transport, which can be set either to `stdio`, `sse` or `streamable-http`. The default is `stdio`. There is not much other configuration available at the moment, though more to be added. Other than cli arguments, there are a couple of environment variables to configure the tool: `PROJECT_ROOT_PATH` and `MCP_PROXY_CONFIG`. `PROJECT_ROOT_PATH` is the path to the project root. It is used to detect the programming language of the project, and to extract dependencies. There is an au…
