Search large codebases semantically from MCP-compatible coding agents with Claude Context

Use Claude Context when a coding agent needs targeted semantic retrieval from a very large repository instead of repeatedly loading folders or files into prompt context. It indexes code into a vector database and exposes code-search retrieval through MCP for Claude Code and other compatible agent clients.

Prerequisites

MCP-compatible coding agent; Node.js 20-23; OpenAI API key; Milvus or Zilliz Cloud vector database
