Trovex MCP Server
trovex: one canonical doc for your coding agents, ~60% fewer tokens. Your coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, any MCP client) reread the repo every session to work out which .md is current, then answer from a guess. You pay for that on every session, every agent, every teammate. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
People who work with coding agents, developer tools and embeddings and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in HTML.

06 · Trovex FAQ
What is Trovex?
trovex: one canonical doc for your coding agents, ~60% fewer tokens. Your coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, any MCP client) reread the repo every session to work out which .md is current, then answer from a guess. You pay for that on every session, every agent, every teammate. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
Is Trovex still maintained?
Yes - as of 2026-09-18, its last commit was 2026-09-03 and it shipped 10+ releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.
How do I install Trovex?
Run `uvx trovex`. The README does not document required environment variables for a basic install. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.
Does Trovex 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.
