cidx
Codebase indexer and MCP server for AI coding agents.
cidx parses your source code using tree-sitter, stores symbols, definitions, and cross-file references in a local SQLite database, and exposes search and navigation via an MCP server. This gives AI coding agents structural awareness of large codebases — not just grep-level text search, but actual symbol resolution.
Status
Early development. The npm package is a placeholder while the native binary is being built. Follow the GitHub repository for progress.
Installation
npm install -g cidxThe npm package will install a pre-built native binary for your platform. Until then, you can build from source via Cargo:
cargo install cidxWhat it does
- Parses source files with tree-sitter (Rust, TypeScript, Python, and more)
- Indexes symbols, definitions, and references into a local SQLite + FTS5 database
- Runs as a Unix daemon with a file watcher for incremental updates
- Exposes an MCP server so AI agents can query the index directly
