Codeintel MCP Server
Your coding agent should not spend its context window on grep. When your agent asks "where is AuthService used?", grep returns comments, markdown, test fixtures, and similarly named symbols in one noisy pile. The agent burns context re-reading files to filter signal from noise - and still misses call sites. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
People who work with code intelligence, developer tools and scip and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Codeintel
Claude Code
claude mcp add phuongddx-codeintel -- uvx codeintel-navigation-mcpClaude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config
{
"mcpServers": {
"phuongddx-codeintel": {

}Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

02 · Evidence
Security posture
What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.
runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions
repo age created 2026-07-25 - young repo, little track record yet
license MIT - declared in the repository
pypi package codeintel-navigation-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)
registry namespace io.github.phuongddx is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

06 · Codeintel FAQ
What is Codeintel?
Your coding agent should not spend its context window on grep. When your agent asks "where is AuthService used?", grep returns comments, markdown, test fixtures, and similarly named symbols in one noisy pile. The agent burns context re-reading files to filter signal from noise - and still misses call sites. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
Is Codeintel still maintained?
Yes - as of 2026-09-18, its last commit was 2026-09-15 and it shipped 10+ releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.
How do I install Codeintel?
Run `uvx codeintel-navigation-mcp`. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.
Does Codeintel run locally?
Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
