code-context-engine

What it does

code-context-engine is a local Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to optimize how Claude and other LLMs access your codebase. Instead of re-reading your entire code repository on every session, this tool maintains persistent cross-session memory through AST-based indexing and semantic search. It dramatically reduces token consumption while maintaining code understanding accuracy.

How to set up

Install the MCP server locally on your machine. Configure it as an MCP server in your Claude client or compatible AI tool. The tool automatically indexes your codebase using Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) parsing and stores metadata in SQLite. Once configured, subsequent sessions will query the index instead of re-reading source files.

Key features

• AST-based code indexing for accurate semantic understanding
• Hybrid search combining vector and traditional search methods
• Cross-session memory persistence using SQLite
• 70%+ token savings on code context
• Local-first architecture with no external dependencies
• Compatible with Claude, Cursor, and VSCode
• Support for semantic code search across your entire codebase
