Can I use both Repo Graph and Mcp Code Indexer together in the same MCP host?

Yes! MCP hosts like Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and VS Code support configuring multiple servers under the mcpServers object simultaneously.

How do I install Repo Graph or Mcp Code Indexer in Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf?

Both servers follow the standard Model Context Protocol configuration format. Simply copy the JSON block from the configuration section above and paste it into your AI client's mcpServers configuration object (for instance in claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json ), then completely restart or refresh the application.

Are Repo Graph and Mcp Code Indexer free to use, or do they require API keys?

Repo Graph is listed under a Free / Open Source model with No auth required . Mcp Code Indexer operates under a Free / Open Source model with No auth required . If environment variables are required (such as API keys), be sure to define them under the env key in your MCP client's configuration file.

Can I run both Repo Graph and Mcp Code Indexer at the same time in my AI client?

Yes! MCP clients support multi-server orchestration. You can include both james-chahwan-repo-graph and nishant-chaudhary5338-mcp-code-indexer as distinct keys inside the single mcpServers object in your configuration file. Your AI assistant will automatically select and call the appropriate tool from either server during chat sessions.

Feature & Specification Comparison

Specification	Repo Graph James-Chahwan Biology & Bioinformatics	Mcp Code Indexer Nishant-Chaudhary5338 Biology & Bioinformatics
Summary	Structural graph map of any codebase for AI coding assistants. Scans entities, relationships, and feature flows across 13 languages so LLMs navigate by structure instead of grepping through everything.	Index any TypeScript/React repo (including monorepos) into a queryable code graph. Reverse queries (who-renders, who-calls, find-references), blast-radius analysis, dependency cycles, dead-code orphans, and symbol signatures — exposed over stdio. Install: npx code-graph-indexer.
Category & Scope

Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Repo Graph Tools (6)

orient

The first call on a repo: node/edge counts, detected kinds, entry points, and a **blind-spots** note flagging which languages/edges are under-linked (so you grep those deliberately). `seed=<node>` → scoped map; `full=true` → whole-repo dense map

find

Turn any text into the ranked nodes that matter — a symbol/keyword, or a pasted stacktrace / failing-test id / diff (resolved to the code it implicates). `expand=true` fans out to the surrounding neighbourhood. Every row carries `path:line

impact

Blast radius: what a change affects (`forward`) or depends on / is used by (`backward`), as a ranked, located closure — each row with the edge `via` reason and a `⊘` when the engine finds it unreachable (likely dead). Pass several nodes for a whole-diff radius

trace

One arg: a feature end-to-end across the stack, each hop labelled with its mechanism (call / HTTP / queue / event) and cross-service hops marked. Two args: the shortest path between two nodes
