A platform-agnostic code analysis library with semantic search capabilities and MCP (Model Context Protocol) server support. This library provides intelligent code indexing, vector-based semantic search, and can be integrated into various development tools and IDEs.

🚀 Features

• Semantic Code Search: Vector-based code search using embeddings
• MCP Server Support: HTTP-based MCP server for IDE integration
• Terminal UI: Interactive CLI with rich terminal interface
• Tree-sitter Parsing: Advanced code parsing and analysis
• Vector Storage: Qdrant vector database integration
• Flexible Embedding: Support for various embedding models via Ollama

📦 Installation

1. Install and Start Ollama

# Install Ollama (macOS)
brew install ollama

# Start Ollama service
ollama serve

# In a new terminal, pull the embedding model
ollama pull nomic-embed-text

2. Install and Start Qdrant

Start Qdrant using Docker:

# Start Qdrant container
docker run -p 6333:6333 -p 6334:6334 qdrant/qdrant

Or download and run Qdrant directly:

# Download and run Qdrant
wget https://github.com/qdrant/qdrant/releases/latest/download/qdrant-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz
tar -xzf qdrant-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz
./qdrant

3. Verify Services Are Running

# Check Ollama
curl http://localhost:11434/api/tags

# Check Qdrant
curl http://localhost:6333/collections

4. Install project locally

git clone https://github.com/anrgct/autodev-codebase
cd autodev-codebase
npm install
npm run build
npm link

🛠️ Usage

Command Line Interface

The CLI provides two main modes:

1. Interactive TUI Mode (Default)

# Basic usage: index your current folder as the codebase.
# Be cautious when running this command if you have a large number of files.
codebase


# With custom options
codebase --demo # Create a local demo directory and test the indexing service, recommend for setup
codebase --path=/my/project
codebase --path=/my/project --log-level=info

2. MCP Server Mode (Recommended for IDE Integration)

# Start long-running MCP server
cd /my/project
codebase mcp-server

# With custom configuration
codebase mcp-server --port=3001 --host=localhost
codebase mcp-server --path=/workspace --port=3002

IDE Integration (Cursor/Claude)

Configure your IDE to connect to the MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codebase": {
      "url": "http://localhost:3001/sse"
    }
  }
}

Library Usage

Node.js Usage

import { createNodeDependencies } from '@autodev/codebase/adapters/nodejs'
import { CodeIndexManager } from '@autodev/codebase'

const deps = createNodeDependencies({ 
  workspacePath: '/path/to/project',
  storageOptions: { /* ... */ },
  loggerOptions: { /* ... */ },
  configOptions: { /* ... */ }
})

const manager = CodeIndexManager.getInstance(deps)
await manager.initialize()
await manager.startIndexing()

🔧 CLI Options

Global Options

• --path=<path> - Workspace path (default: current directory)
• --demo - Create demo files in workspace
• --ollama-url=<url> - Ollama API URL (default: http://localhost:11434)
• --qdrant-url=<url> - Qdrant vector DB URL (default: http://localhost:6333)
• --model=<model> - Embedding model (default: nomic-embed-text)
• --config=<path> - Config file path
• --storage=<path> - Storage directory path
• --cache=<path> - Cache directory path
• --log-level=<level> - Log level: error|warn|info|debug (default: error)

MCP Server Options

• --port=<port> - HTTP server port (default: 3001)
• --host=<host> - HTTP server host (default: localhost)

🌐 MCP Server Features

Web Interface

• Home Page: http://localhost:3001 - Server status and configuration
• Health Check: http://localhost:3001/health - JSON status endpoint
• MCP Endpoint: http://localhost:3001/sse - SSE/HTTP MCP protocol endpoint

Available MCP Tools

• search_codebase - Semantic search through your codebase
  • Parameters: query (string), limit (number), filters (object)
  • Returns: Formatted search results with file paths, scores, and code blocks
• get_search_stats - Get indexing status and statistics
• configure_search - Configure search parameters at runtime

Scripts

# Development mode with demo files
npm run dev

# Build for production
npm run build

# Type checking
npm run type-check

# Run TUI demo
npm run demo-tui

# Start MCP server demo
npm run mcp-server

💡 Why Use MCP Server Mode?

Problems Solved

• ❌ Repeated Indexing: Every IDE connection re-indexes, wasting time and resources
• ❌ Complex Configuration: Each project needs different path parameters in IDE
• ❌ Resource Waste: Multiple IDE windows start multiple server instances

Benefits

• ✅ One-time Indexing: Server runs long-term, index persists
• ✅ Simplified Configuration: Universal IDE configuration, no project-specific paths
• ✅ Resource Efficiency: One server instance per project
• ✅ Better Developer Experience: Start server in project directory intuitively
• ✅ Backward Compatible: Still supports traditional per-connection mode
• ✅ Web Interface: Status monitoring and configuration help
• ✅ Dual Mode: Can run both TUI and MCP server simultaneously

This is a platform-agnostic library extracted from the roo-code VSCode plugin.
