What is the Rapid MCP Server?

RAPID is a local MCP server designed to provide powerful code analysis and search capabilities for any software project. It leverages a high-performance Rust-based

The short version

  • Full Project Context Analysis: — Recursively scans a project directory to extract information about files, functions, and classes
  • Project-Wide Search: — Performs fast, project-wide searches for specific strings or patterns
  • Multi-Language Support: — Includes parsers for Python, Rust, C#, and TypeScript/JavaScript
  • High-Performance Rust Core: — The file scanning and parsing logic is implemented in Rust for maximum performance and efficiency
  • Configurable: — Allows for customization of scanning depth, file extensions, and output verbosity
  • MCP Compliant: — Exposes its functionality through a set of well-defined MCP tools

What it needs from you

Before you proceed, make sure you have the following software installed: - Git: For cloning the source code. You can download it from git-scm.com. - Python (3.8+): The core server is written in Python. You can get it from python.org. - Rust: The high-performance file scanner is built with Rust. The recommended installation method is

ToolWhat it does
initialize_project_contextInitializes project context by reading/creating plan.md and provides a complexity assessment with guidance for interacting with the codebase. This should be the first tool called when starting work on a project.
get_full_code_contextComprehensively scans a project directory to extract and structure code from specified file types. Generates a detailed overview of the project's content, including file structures and optionally, function/class descript
search🔍 **SEARCH FILES ACROSS ENTIRE PROJECT** - This is THE primary tool for finding ANY text, code, functions, variables, or content across ALL files in a project. Use this powerful search whenever you need to locate specif
search_by_concept🧠 **AI-POWERED SEMANTIC CODE SEARCH** - This intelligent tool uses machine learning embeddings to understand the MEANING and INTENT behind your natural language queries, not just exact text matches. Perfect for finding
