@buger/probe-mcp

MCP server for the Probe code search tool.

Installation

# Install globally
npm install -g @buger/probe-mcp

# Or use directly with npx
npx @buger/probe-mcp

This package now uses the @buger/probe package as a dependency, which will automatically handle downloading the appropriate Probe binary for your system when needed.

Usage

This package provides an MCP server that allows AI assistants to use the Probe code search tool.

In Claude Desktop or VSCode

1. Add the MCP server to your configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memory": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@buger/probe-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

2. Ask your AI assistant to search your codebase using natural language queries like:

   • "Search my codebase for implementations of the ranking algorithm"
   • "Find all functions related to error handling in the src directory"
   • "Look for code that handles user authentication"

The AI will use the Probe tool to search your codebase and provide relevant code snippets and explanations.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with the MCP server:

1. Package Dependencies: Make sure both @buger/probe-mcp and @buger/probe are properly installed. The @buger/probe package handles the binary download and management.

2. Binary Issues: If you encounter issues with the Probe binary, you can check the binary path using:

   import { getBinaryPath } from '@buger/probe';
   console.log(getBinaryPath());

3. Package Name: Make sure you're using @buger/probe-mcp (not @buger/probe) in your MCP configuration.
