search_code

MCP tool from Code Memory by kapillamba4

Perform semantic search and find structural code definitions, locate where functions/classes are defined, or map out dependency references (call graphs). Uses hybrid retrieval (BM25 + vector embeddings) to find exact matches and semantic similarities.

How to use it

Project documentation lists search_code for the Code Memory MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.

index_codebase

Indexes or re-indexes source files and documentation in the given directory. Run this before using searchcode or searchdocs to ensure the database is up to date. Uses tree-sitter for language-agnostic structural extraction and generates dense vector embeddings using sentence-transformers (runs local

search_docs

Understand the codebase conceptually — how things work, architectural patterns, SOPs. Searches markdown documentation, READMEs, and docstrings extracted from code.

search_history

Debug regressions and understand developer intent through Git history.
