Claude Context is an MCP plugin that adds semantic code search to Claude Code and other AI coding agents, indexing an entire codebase into a vector database so agents retrieve only relevant code as context. It ships as an MCP server, a core npm package, and a VS Code extension, with support for embedding providers like OpenAI and Voyage AI.

Use cases

• give claude code semantic search over my whole codebase
• index a large repository so my AI coding agent finds relevant code
• reduce token costs when working with big codebases in claude
• add codebase context to cursor or gemini cli via mcp
• search millions of lines of code semantically instead of grep
• set up an mcp server for code retrieval with a vector database

When to choose

• you use Claude Code, Cursor, or another MCP-compatible agent and want whole-repo context
• your codebase is too large to load into context and you want cost-efficient retrieval
• you want semantic code search backed by Milvus/Zilliz Cloud with incremental Merkle-tree indexing

When to avoid

• you need fully offline search with no external embedding or vector database service
• your project is small enough that built-in grep/file tools suffice
• you are not using any MCP-compatible coding agent
