### Description (declared)

# semantic-code-index-mcp

MCP server for Claude Code: semantic code search with SQLite + local embeddings (free, no API key needed).

Instead of reading your entire codebase, Claude searches semantically — finding relevant code by meaning, not just keywords. Saves 80-90% tokens per query.

## Quick Install (npx)

```bash
cd /path/to/your/project
npx semantic-code-index-mcp install
```

This automatically:
- Creates `.claude/mcp.json` and `.mcp.json` (merged with existing config)
- Adds `.claude/rules/semantic-search.md` so Claude prefers semantic search
- Updates `.gitignore`

Requires Python 3.11+ and [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) (`brew install uv` or `pip install uv`).

### Uninstall

```bash
npx semantic-code-index-mcp uninstall
```

Cleanly removes all config. If you have other MCP servers configured, they are preserved.

## Install from source (dev)

```bash
git clone https://github.com/thinhdo/semantic-code-index-mcp
cd semantic-code-index-mcp
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

# Install into a project using local binary
semantic-code-index-mcp install /path/to/your/project

# Or via npx with --local flag
npx semantic-code-index-mcp install /path/to/project --local .venv/bin/semantic-code-index-mcp
```

## Usage

Once installed, open Claude Code in your project. First time, ask Claude:

> Index this project

After that, Claude will automatically use `semantic_search` for code exploration. The index auto-syncs when files change — no manual steps needed.

## Tools

| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `index_project` | Full re-index of the codebase |
| `sync_index` | Incremental sync (new/changed/deleted files only) |
| `semantic_search` | Hybrid search: semantic vectors + keyword BM25. Auto-syncs before searching |
| `list_indexed_files` | List all indexed files with token count and chunk count |
| `get_file_chunks` | Get full content of a file's indexed chunks |
| `token_usage_stats` | Compare: tokens if reading …
