claude-context
Add semantic code search to Claude Code and AI agents using vector databases.
Make your entire codebase the context for any coding agent using semantic search.
Claude Context is an MCP plugin that indexes your codebase into a vector database for semantic search. It allows coding agents like Claude Code to retrieve relevant snippets from millions of lines without loading entire directories.
What it is
It integrates via the Model Context Protocol to provide semantic code search across large repositories. Instead of multi-round discovery or expensive full-directory context loads, it brings related code straight into your AI agent.
Who it's for
It suits developers working with massive codebases using AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, or Cline. It does not suit teams wanting a zero-config local setup since it requires external vector database and embedding services.
Key features
Semantic Code Search
Finds relevant code across millions of lines using vector embeddings.
Model Context Protocol
Integrates natively with Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, and other MCP clients.
Cost-Effective Context
Only sends related code into the agent's context to reduce token costs on large codebases.
Vector DB Backed
Leverages Zilliz Cloud and OpenAI embeddings to store and query your codebase.

Our honest verdict
What's great
- Integrates seamlessly with popular AI coding assistants through MCP
- Reduces token costs by fetching only relevant code snippets for large projects
- Supports a wide range of clients including Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code
- Handles millions of lines of code via vector database indexing
Where it falls short
- Requires an external Zilliz Cloud vector database account and API key
- Requires a paid OpenAI API key for generating embedding models
- Setup involves multiple environment variables across MCP configuration files
Pricing & license
The software is free under the MIT license, but running it requires third-party API services including Zilliz Cloud and OpenAI which have their own usage pricing.
