How do I install the semcode mcp server?

This profile does not contain a verified copy-paste launch configuration. Follow the current project documentation to confirm the runtime, entry point, transport and authentication before registering it in your client.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `MCP_TRANSPORT`, `GITHUB_TOKEN`, `CONFIG_PATH`, `QDRANT_URL`, `JINA_URL`, `JINA_API_KEY`, `VOYAGE_API_KEY`, `OPENAI_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
search_code	Hybrid (dense + BM25) search by query, with optional filters for language, service, symbol type
find_symbol	Look up a symbol by name — exact match, or case-insensitive token match when exact=false
find_usages	Find code that references a given symbol name (semantic search, then excludes the definition itself)
get_code_context	Fetch the full source of a file — or a specific symbol within it — directly from GitHub
reindex	Trigger code indexing of one or all services (incremental by default; force to re-embed)
index_history	Index git commit history; automatically fetches diffs for commits missing them
search_commits	Search git commit history with natural language
get_commit	Get full details for a specific commit including changed files and diffs
list_indexed_services	List indexed services with chunk and file counts, languages, and last-indexed time
index_stats	Show Qdrant collection statistics and configured services
