Target Reference Server
Codeindex Overview
The codeindex MCP server gives AI coding agents structural access to a local workspace through symbol, caller, import, dependency, and file-reading tools. It parses more than 40 languages with tree-sitter, then builds searchable indexes and a dependency graph that can be shared by sessions through a workspace daemon. Use it when an agent needs targeted code navigation, change-impact analysis, refactoring plans, or repository-wide checks without reading every file. It runs over stdio and can be installed through npm, a shell installer, a compiled binary, or Docker.
Primary Use Cases for Codeindex:
- Find callers before changing a shared function
- Trace imports and reverse dependencies across a workspace
- Generate a refactoring plan with blast-radius details
- Run repository analyses for cycles, dead code, security patterns, and coverage gaps
