What is the Docdex MCP Server?

Fast per-repo documentation indexer and full-text search MCP server for codebases.

What it actually does

Docdex is a local-first indexer and search daemon for documentation and source code. It sits between your raw files and your AI assistant, providing deterministic search, code intelligence, and persistent memory without ever uploading your code to a cloud vector store.
