How do I install the kindex 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 `CLAUDE_SESSION_ID`, `CODEX_SESSION_ID`, `OPENCODE_SESSION_ID`, `CURSOR_SESSION_ID`, `KIN_AGENT_ID` 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 Kindex MCP Server?

Persistent knowledge graph and MCP server for AI workflows with git-tracked project context.

What it actually does

It's a persistent knowledge graph for AI-assisted workflows. It indexes your conversations, projects, and intellectual work so that Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Google Antigravity, OpenCode, Cursor, and other MCP-capable agents never start a session blind. Available as a free MCP plugin or standalone CLI.
