codedeebee

npm/npx launcher for codedb — a Zig code intelligence MCP server.

The package name is codedeebee (the bare codedb name is restricted on npm). The CLI it installs is named codedb.

Quick start

npx -y codedeebee mcp

Or install once:

npm install -g codedeebee
codedb mcp

MCP client config

    "args": ["mcp"],
    "enabled": true
  }

    }
  }
}

How it works

postinstall downloads the matching native binary from the corresponding GitHub Release and verifies it against checksums.sha256. The codedb command is a thin Node launcher that execs the native binary, preserving cwd, stdio, args, and environment.

Supported platforms

| OS | Arch | |--------|----------------------| | macOS | arm64, x64 (Intel) | | Linux | arm64, x64 |

Windows is not yet supported. Comment on issue #501 if you need it.

Skipping the binary download

For sandboxed installs (or environments without GitHub access), set CODEDEEBEE_SKIP_POSTINSTALL=1. The package will install successfully but codedb will exit until a binary is placed at node_modules/codedeebee/vendor/codedb.
