How do I install the ckb mcp server?

Use a recorded configuration for your client, replace example credential values and paths, and verify the documented runtime. Restart or reconnect the client, then inspect the available tools.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `CKB_REPO` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

What is the Ckb MCP Server?

Code intelligence MCP server — 80+ tools for navigation, impact analysis, and architecture

What the server does

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.

Credentials and setup notes

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
