What is the Code Context Engine MCP Server?

Index your codebase. AI searches instead of re-reading files. 94% token savings, reproducibly benchmarked.

Installation

code-context-engine on PyPI is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • Metric — Result

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: CCE_OLLAMA_URL. 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.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
