Zoekt Mcp
Brings Sourcegraph Zoekt's indexed code search to Claude and other MCP clients through three straightforward tools: search_code for fast regex and symbol-aware queries, list_repos to see what's indexed, and get_file to pull content. You run zoekt-webserver yourself via Docker Compose, point it at a parent directory, and every subdirectory becomes a searchable repo. The MCP server itself is a Python stdio process you can launch through uvx or Docker, no git clone required. Reach for this when you need substring or symbol search across multiple repositories in a single query, especially in larger codebases where grep gets slow. The server talks JSON over HTTP to your self-hosted Zoekt instance and shapes results back to the agent.

Readme
zoekt-mcp
An MCP server that exposes Sourcegraph Zoekt code search to any MCP-capable AI agent — Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, MCP Inspector, etc. — so the agent can run fast, indexed, regex/symbol-aware code search over your repositories regardless of the language you're working in.
