Seek Link MCP Server

English · 中文 SeekLink is a local semantic search CLI and optional read-only MCP stdio server for Markdown vaults. It indexes a folder of .md files, searches with hybrid keyword + vector retrieval, and returns line-anchored results that humans and agents can read with simple shell commands.

People who work with bm25, cjk and hybrid search and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Seek Link

before you install - you'll need

SEEKLINK_VAULT

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add simonsysun-seeklink -- uvx seeklink

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "simonsysun-seeklink": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "seeklink"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
