Intro

Claude Context is an MCP server for semantic code search, so agents can retrieve relevant code without stuffing whole folders into the prompt.

  • Best for: Teams with medium/large codebases who want retrieval-first context for agents
  • Works with: Claude Code MCP; runs via npx @zilliz/claude-context-mcp@latest with env vars
  • Setup time: 15 minutes

Practical Notes

  • Setup time ~15 minutes (configure env + add MCP server + index once)
  • Measurable check: 1 indexed codebase + successful search_code results
  • GitHub stars + forks (verified): see Source & Thanks

This is a good fit when you find yourself doing expensive “context stuffing”:

  • Instead of pasting directories, index once and retrieve by query.
  • Prefer a repeatable workflow: index → search → cite code locations.
  • Keep the search layer separate from generation so you can swap models without re-indexing.

Operationally, start with one repo and one embedding provider, then expand once the team trusts retrieval quality.

FAQ

Q: Do I need Node.js? A: Yes — the README lists Node.js 20+ for the MCP server run via npx.

Q: What credentials are required? A: You configure env vars for embeddings and your vector DB endpoint/token as documented.

Q: Where do I use it? A: Add it as an MCP server to Claude Code (or another MCP-capable client).
