Installation

First, install the Codebase MCP server with your client. A typical configuration looks like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Codebase": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["codebase-mcp-server@latest", "/path/to/your/codebase"]
    }
  }
}

Or, you can install the Codebase MCP server with Docker.

After cloning this repository, build the Docker image:

docker build -t mcp/codebase -f .

And then add the following to your MCP servers file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Codebase": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "--mount",
        "type=bind,src=/path/to/your/codebase/dir,dst=/projects/path/to/your/codebase/dir,ro",
        "--mount",
        "type=bind,src=/path/to/some/file.txt,dst=/projects/path/to/some/file.txt",
        "mcp/codebase",
        "/projects"
      ]
    }
  }
}

# For VS Code
code --add-mcp '{"name":"Codebase","command":"npx","args":["codebase-mcp-server@latest"]}'

After installation, the Codebase MCP server will be available for use with your GitHub Copilot agent in VS Code.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Codebase": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["codebase-mcp-server@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Follow Windsuff MCP documentation. Use following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Codebase": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["codebase-mcp-server@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Follow the MCP install guide, use following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Codebase": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["codebase-mcp-server@latest"]
    }
  }
}
