How do I install the mcp 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 `REPOSKEIN_REPO_PATH` 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 MCP Server?

Deterministic code-graph (GraphRAG) over your repo for LLM agents — local-first, git-native, zero-infra, served via MCP.

The short version

This downloads the indexer for your platform, installs git hooks + the navigation skill, builds the initial code graph, and prints an MCP config block. Then:

What it needs from you

Node.js 18+ — to run npx @reposkein/mcp (the indexer binary is fetched automatically). - An MCP-capable agent — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Zed, etc. - A git repository to index (RepoSkein installs git hooks and reads git history for get_temporal_context). - Optional: Docker (only for the embeddings server

More MCP options

Compare MCP servers by category, or browse hosted MCP servers if you prefer an endpoint over a local process.

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
semantic_find	find where to start — rank functions/classes by meaning (lexical BM25F; optional [embeddings](#optional-semantic-embeddings))
get_context_profile	resolve a function/class → its caller/callee neighborhood as ready-to-read prose
impact	transitive callers split into impacted code vs covering tests
get_temporal_context	git-derived co-change, churn, and ownership for a file
write_semantic_summary	attach a hash-stamped summary to a node
reindex_file	refresh after editing a file
