MCP Codebase Server
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., "@MCP Codebase ServerFind all usages of the UserService class."
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.
MCP Codebase Server
MCP server for semantic codebase navigation. Builds an AST index of symbols, imports, and exports, providing high-level tools for an AI agent.
Features
Symbol search — finds functions, classes, interfaces, methods, etc. by name with wildcard (
*,?) and OR (|) supportSymbol details — shows source code, signature, documentation, and file imports
Module overview — directory structure, key symbols, subdirectories, top imports
Usage search — finds all references to a symbol in the project
Module dependencies — imports, exports, and files that use the given module
Reindexing — full or incremental (by mtime)
Watch mode — automatic index updates when files change

Supported Languages
Language | Parser | Symbols | Imports | Exports |
TypeScript / JavaScript | TypeScript Compiler API | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
C# | Regex-based (lightweight) | ✅ | ✅ (using) | ✅ (public) |
The architecture makes it easy to add new languages via the ILanguageParser interface.
Requirements
Node.js 18+
PostgreSQL 14+
Installation
npm install
npm run buildConfiguration
Environment variables:
Variable | Description | Default |

On the lowcodeplatform project (~71K files, ~730 source files excluding node_modules/dist):
Full indexing: ~1.3 sec
Symbols in the index: ~5000
Symbol search: < 50 ms
Extending to Other Languages
Create a class implementing
ILanguageParserRegister it in
src/indexer/indexer.tsAdd the extension to
config.languageMap
Example:
export class PythonParser implements ILanguageParser {
readonly supportedExtensions = ['.py'];
readonly languageId = 'python';
parse(filePath: string, content: string): ParseResult | null { ... }
