Codebase indexing and search via WASM tree-sitter. Works on ARM64 and x86_64.
Popular codebase-indexing MCP servers like @zilliz/claude-context-mcp depend on native C++ bindings (tree-sitter, faiss-node) that ship pre-built binaries only for x86_64. If you're on ARM64 — a Raspberry Pi, Apple Silicon Mac, AWS Graviton, or any other arm64 host — npm install fails with missing prebuilts and no fallback. There's no workaround short of cross-compiling the native modules yourself.
The server ships on npm as codebase-context-mcp, 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:
index_codebase — Parse a directory into symbols/chunks, cache as JSONsearch_symbols — Find functions, classes, types by name or patternsearch_code — BM25 full-text search across indexed filesget_file_outline — File structure: functions, classes, imports, exports with line numbersget_project_summary — Tech stack, file counts by language, directory structurePlenty of file and storage access servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Codebase's toolset — index_codebase, search_symbols, search_code and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Jhackman2019; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

Check the linked publisher documentation and your connected client's tool list. Names and availability can vary with the server version and account permissions.
