Documentation

Codebase RAG MCP Server

This MCP server provides semantic codebase search and file retrieval using embeddings and a PostgreSQL database. It exposes tools for searching code, listing files, and retrieving file contents.

Features

  • Semantic Code Search: Uses Voyage embedding model to convert queries into vectors and search code snippets by similarity.
  • File Listing: Lists all tracked files in the codebase.
  • File Content Retrieval: Fetches the full content of a file by filename.

Tools

  • search_codebase
    • Returns code snippets relevant to the query.
    • Inputs:
      • `query` (string): Search terms
  • get_files
    • Lists all files in the codebase.
  • get_file_content
    • Returns the content of the specified file.
    • Inputs:
      • `filename` (string): Filename

Configuration

Getting a Voyage API Key

1. Sign up for a Voyage API account

2. Generate your API key from the dashboard

Environment Variables

  • `DATABASE_URL`: PostgreSQL connection string.
  • `VOYAGE_API_KEY`: API key for embedding model.
  • `EMBEDDING_TABLE`: Table name for code embeddings.
  • `TRACKING_TABLE`: Table name for file tracking.
