What the code does

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Runs an external command src/core/embedder.ts:157
    const proc = spawn(process.execPath, [workerPath], {

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add code-context -- npx -y @infino-ai/code-context
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: CX_ROOT (Repository root to serve. Optional - defaults to the working directory the server is launched in.), CX_INDEX_DIR (Where the index lives. Optional - defaults to .infino/ inside the repository root.), CX_AUTO_SYNC (Set to 0 to disable the background staleness sync that runs as queries arrive.), CX_NO_EMBED (Set (1/true/yes) for keyword-only mode - skip the vector stage entirely.), CX_NO_RECEIPT (Set (1/true/yes) to turn off local usage accounting: the per-call receipt on results and the cx usage ledger. Optional - on by default, computed locally, nothing leaves the machine.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Code Context — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Code Context?
Code Context runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @infino-ai/code-context was installed 93 times last week.
How do I connect Code Context?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @infino-ai/code-context straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Code Context?
The npm package @infino-ai/code-context was installed 93 times in the last week. Week over week that is +197%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Code Context open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 31 stars on GitHub and 2 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
