# Code Context MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for providing code context from local git repositories. This server allows you to:
1. Clone git repositories locally
2. Process branches and files
3. Generate embeddings for code chunks
4. Perform semantic search over code
## Features
- Uses local git repositories instead of GitHub API
- Stores data in SQLite database
- Splits code into semantic chunks
- Generates embeddings for code chunks using Ollama
- Provides semantic search over code
## Prerequisites
- Node.js (v16+)
- Git
- Ollama with an embedding model
## Installation
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone <repository-url>
cd code-context-mcp
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Build the project
npm run build
```
## Configuration
Set the following environment variables:
- `DATA_DIR`: Directory for SQLite database (default: '~/.codeContextMcp/data')
- `REPO_CACHE_DIR`: Directory for cloned repositories (default: '~/.codeContextMcp/repos')
### Using Ollama
For faster and more powerful embeddings, you can use Ollama:
```bash
# Install Ollama from https://ollama.ai/
# Pull an embedding model (unclemusclez/jina-embeddings-v2-base-code is recommended)
ollama pull unclemusclez/jina-embeddings-v2-base-code
```
## Usage
### Using with Claude Desktop
Add the following configuration to your Claude Desktop configuration file (`claude_desktop_config.json`):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"code-context-mcp": {
"command": "/path/to/your/node",
"args": ["/path/to/code-context-mcp/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}
```
## Tools
The server provides the following tool:
### queryRepo
Clones a repository, processes code, and performs semantic search:
```json
{
"repoUrl": "https://github.com/username/repo.git",
"branch": "main", // Optional - defaults to repository's default branch
"query": "Your search query",
"keywords": ["keyword1", "keyword2"], // Optional - filter results by keywords
"filePatterns": ["**/*.ts", "src/*.js"], // Optional - filter files by glob patterns
"excludePatterns": ["**/node_modules/**"], // Optional - exclude files by glob patterns
"limit": 10 // Optional - number of results to return, default: 10
}
```
The `branch` parameter is optional. If not provided, the tool will automatically use the repository's default branch.
The `keywords` parameter is optional. If provided, the results will be filtered to only include chunks that contain at least one of the specified keywords (case-insensitive matching).
The `filePatterns` and `excludePatterns` parameters are optional. They allow you to filter which files are processed and searched using glob patterns (e.g., `**/*.ts` for all TypeScript files).
## Database Schema
The server uses SQLite with the following schema:
- `repository`: Stores information about repositories
- `branch`: Stores information about branches
- `file`: Stores information about files
- `branch_file_association`: Associates files with branches
- `file_chunk`: Stores code chunks and their embeddings
# Debugging
## MAC Mx Series - ARM Architecture Issues
When installing better-sqlite3 on Mac M-series chips (ARM architecture), if you encounter errors like "mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'x86_64', need 'arm64e' or 'arm64')", you need to ensure the binary matches your architecture. Here's how to resolve this issue:
```bash
# Check your Node.js architecture
node -p "process.arch"
# If it shows 'arm64', but you're still having issues, try:
npm rebuild better-sqlite3 --build-from-source
# Or for a clean install:
npm uninstall better-sqlite3
export npm_config_arch=arm64
export npm_config_target_arch=arm64
npm install better-sqlite3 --build-from-source
```
If you're using Rosetta, make sure your entire environment is consistent. Your error shows x86_64 binaries being built but your system needs arm64.
For persistent configuration, add to your .zshrc or .bashrc:
```
export npm_config_arch=arm64
export npm_config_target_arch=arm64
```
