What is the Kontxt MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that tries to solve condebase indexing (until agents can).

The short version

Connects to a user-specified local code repository
Provides the (get_codebase_context) tool for AI clients (like Cursor, Claude Desktop)
Uses Gemini 2.0 Flash's 1M input window internally to analyze the codebase and generate context based on the user's client querry
Flash itself can use internal tools (list_repository_structure, read_files, grep_codebase) to understand the code
Supports both SSE (recommended) and stdio transport protocols
Supports user-attached files/docs/context from client's queries for more targeted analysis
