Codeseeker Overview

The codeseeker MCP server indexes a codebase and exposes hybrid semantic retrieval plus a knowledge graph to AI coding assistants. It combines BM25 matching, 384-dimensional vector embeddings, RAPTOR directory summaries, and AST-derived import relationships, then expands results through graph edges. A single routed MCP tool provides search, symbol lookup, graph, analysis, and indexing actions. Reach for it when assistants need cross-file context, dependency relationships, or semantic matches beyond text search.

Primary Use Cases for Codeseeker:
  • Search for code by behavior or concept
  • Trace imports, calls, and inheritance relationships
  • Locate symbols and their related files
  • Analyze project coding standards
