Nia Codebase MCP

Nia Codebase MCP

The Nia Codebase MCP server allows you to integrate with Nia's codebase understanding capabilities through function calling in tools like Cursor, Claude Desktop, and other MCP-compatible clients.

Installation

You can use this MCP server without installing it using npx:

Transport Options

The Nia Codebase MCP server supports two transport methods:

1. Standard Input/Output (stdio) - Default

This is the default transport method and is used when no transport is specified:

2. Server-Sent Events (SSE)

To use SSE transport, specify the --transport=sse flag and optionally a port (default is 3000):

Usage in MCP Clients

Cursor

1. Open Cursor Settings > Features > MCP Servers
2. Add a new MCP server
3. Name: nia-codebase
4. Type: command
5. Command: npx -y nia-codebase-mcp@1.0.1 --api-key=YOUR_NIA_API_KEY

Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

For Windows users, the configuration is at %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json.

• NIA_API_KEY: Your Nia API key
• TRANSPORT: The transport method to use (stdio or sse)
• PORT: The port to use for SSE transport (default: 3000)
• TOOL_TIMEOUT_MS: Custom timeout for tool execution (default: 300000ms)
• DEBUG: Enable debug mode (true or false)

Tools

This MCP server provides the following tool:

• lookup_codebase_context: Look up context from a codebase indexed in Nia, retrieving relevant code snippets based on user queries.

Requirements

• Node.js 18 or higher
• A valid Nia API key
• A codebase indexed in Nia
