## Description

Code Index MCP enables large language models to index, search, and analyze code in project directories. It provides tools for navigating file structures, searching for patterns in code, generating file summaries, and analyzing code complexity across multiple programming languages. The implementation uses UV for dependency management, stores project settings persistently in a .code_indexer folder, and integrates easily with Claude Desktop through a simple configuration process, making it ideal for developers who need to analyze codebases without leaving their AI assistant interface.
