Code Index

trondhindenes/code-index-mcp

Wraps Zoekt's trigram search engine to let Claude index and query your local codebases. You get five tools: index_directory to build searchable indexes per repo, search_code with regex and file filters, list_indexes to see what's available, delete_index for cleanup, and index_info for storage details. The search output is deliberately terse, returning grep style filename:line:content tuples with configurable limits on files and matches per file. Query syntax supports language filters, case sensitivity, and boolean operators. Good for when you need Claude to search across multiple large repos without embedding full directory trees in context. Automatically skips node_modules, build artifacts, and binaries during indexing.
