How do I install the infimium 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 `SEARCH_API_KEY` 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.

Recorded tools

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

Tool	What it does
hello_infimium	Confirms the MCP server is healthy.
get_context	Reads saved YAML repo context, current memory and handoff; explicit refresh updates Git/index state.
infimium_update	Refreshes episodic memory and handoff graphs; controls automatic memory checkpoints.
semantic_code_search	Finds code by meaning and returns symbol signatures first.
expand_symbol	Loads one full implementation only when needed.
query_local_docs	Searches local Markdown, text, HTML, and PDF files.
dep_graph	Shows imports, callers, callees, and HTTP routes for a symbol.
project_memory	Keeps active scratchpad events, compact milestones, and durable project rules across agents.
plan	Builds a grounded implementation plan from code and graph context.
web_search	Searches the web through optional Tinyfish configuration.
fetch_url	Extracts readable Markdown or text from a URL.
shell	Runs allowlisted commands with timeouts and output limits.
