### Description (declared)

# yacodebase-mcp

Vector search MCP server for codebases. Index repos locally with AST-aware chunking; let Claude (or any MCP client) search them semantically and query their structure.

## How it works

1. **Index** — walks repo files, chunks them using tree-sitter AST (function/method boundaries) with line-based fallback, embeds via OpenAI-compatible API, stores in in-process Qdrant.
2. **Serve** — exposes 12 MCP tools over stdio for search, structural analysis, and persistent knowledge.
3. **Search** — embeds the query, retrieves top-8 chunks across all indexed repos (or a specific one), returns ranked results with file path and line numbers.

## Install

```bash
pip install yacodebase-mcp
```

Or from source:

```bash
uv tool install /path/to/yacodebase-mcp
```

For development:

```bash
uv sync
```

## CLI

```bash
# Show version
yacodebase-mcp --version

# Index a repo (fails if already indexed)
yacodebase-mcp index ~/Code/myproject

# Re-index after changes (replaces existing index)
yacodebase-mcp reindex ~/Code/myproject

# Incrementally update index (only changed files)
yacodebase-mcp update ~/Code/myproject

# List indexed repos with chunk counts
yacodebase-mcp list

# Remove a repo from the index
yacodebase-mcp remove ~/Code/myproject

# Start MCP server (stdio, used by Claude Code)
yacodebase-mcp serve
```

### Config commands

```bash
# Show current settings
yacodebase-mcp config list

# Set embedding model (known models auto-resolve vector size)
yacodebase-mcp config set embedding-model text-embedding-3-large
yacodebase-mcp config set embedding-model my-custom-model --vector-size 768

# Set API credentials
yacodebase-mcp config set api-key sk-...
yacodebase-mcp config set api-base https://my-provider.com/v1

# Revert a setting to default / env var fallback
yacodebase-mcp config unset embedding-model
yacodebase-mcp config unset api-key
yacodebase-mcp config unset api-base
```

**Known models** (vector size auto-detected):

| Model | Vector size |
