About Claude Context

Claude Context is an open-source tool that adds semantic code search capabilities to AI coding assistants through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It enables AI coding agents like Claude Code to use the entire codebase as context, improving code understanding and generation. The tool includes an MCP server, a VSCode extension, and a core package. It supports configurable file inclusion/exclusion rules and an asynchronous indexing workflow for efficient search. Built by Zilliz, it is available under the MIT license on GitHub.
