search_codebase

MCP tool from Codebase Context by PatrickSys

Hybrid search + decision card when intent="edit"

How to use it

Project documentation lists search_codebase for the Codebase Context 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.
