Code intelligence MCP server — 80+ tools for navigation, impact analysis, and architecture
If you already use Ckb, the ckb mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. Code intelligence MCP server — 80+ tools for navigation, impact analysis, and architecture.
CKB transforms your codebase into a queryable knowledge base. Ask questions, understand impact, find owners, detect dead code—all through CLI, API, or AI assistants.
The server ships on npm as @tastehub/ckb, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
Setup — The Setup tool exposed by this serverConfiguration is passed through the environment: CKB_REPO. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Using npm (recommended): - Node.js 16+ - Git Building from source: - Go 1.21+ - Git Optional (for enhanced analysis): - SCIP indexer for your language (scip-go, scip-typescript, etc.) — run ckb index to auto-install - LIP v2.3+ semantic embedding daemon (requires Rust/cargo) — strongly recommended for best search quality
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Ckb's toolset — Setup — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by SimplyLiz; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against Ckb's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Or manually add to `.mcp.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"ckb": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@tastehub/ckb", "mcp"]
}
}
}Configuration as documented by the project. Restart the client after saving.
