Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@repo-explorer-mcpexplore the repo and explain how config loading works"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
repo-explorer-mcp
A Rust MCP server that exposes the explore_repository tool over an rmcp stdio
transport, shipped for Linux (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) and Windows
(x86_64-pc-windows-msvc). It drives an internal LLM exploration loop over a
managed codebase-memory-mcp backend and in-process text search (over ripgrep's
ignore + grep library crates, no external binary) — the memory backend is
provisioned by repo-explorer-mcp --update into a shared per-user bin dir
($XDG_BIN_HOME if set to an absolute path, else ~/.local/bin, on Linux;
%LOCALAPPDATA%\repo-explorer-mcp on Windows), never a global PATH install.
