claude-context-local

Provides Claude Code with local semantic search and indexing of your codebase using AST-aware chunking and hybrid search, enabling deep code understanding without sending data to the cloud.

Caution. Specific findings reduced this grade. They are listed on the page. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

The grade above is for the source repository. Registries can serve a different version, so we mark the ones we were not able to read.

No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation
Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.
Open source with a license and README
Anyone can audit the code, the license is declared, and the publisher documents what it does.

These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.

index_project

Index or re-index a project for semantic code search.

search_code

Search code using hybrid semantic + keyword (BM25) search.

search_all

Search across ALL indexed projects at once.

search_diff

Search only code that changed since a git ref (commit, branch, tag).

find_symbol

Find who calls a function/method, or what it calls (symbol dependency graph).

index_status

Check the indexing status of a project.

drop_index

Remove the index for a project.

// environment variables
To run this server yourself, you supply these values. They go in your own MCP client configuration and stay on your machine. The secret label means the value is sensitive, not that the server mishandles it.
configCCL_MODELall-MiniLM-L6-v2 Embedding model (default uses built-in ONNX, no PyTorch)
configCCL_CHUNK_LINES50 Max lines per chunk
configCCL_CHUNK_OVERLAP10 Overlap lines between chunks
configCCL_DATA_DIR~/.cache/claude-context-local Index storage directory
configCCL_HYBRID_ALPHA0.7 Search blend: 0=BM25 only, 1=semantic only
configCCL_CONTEXT_LINES5 Default surrounding context lines in results

Tool annotations

No tools have read-only/destructive annotations

Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.

All four hints declared on every tool

7/7 tools missing one or more hints — index_project (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); search_code (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); search_all (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +4 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.

For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.

Destructive tools are labelled

1 tool perform destructive updates without destructiveHint — drop_index deletes at line 1762 (shutil.rmtree(db_path))

Add destructiveHint:true to any tool whose handler calls .delete(), .upsert(), .update(), unlink, rm, DELETE, DROP, REPLACE INTO, or any operation that overwrites existing data.

Tool handlers catch errors

5/7 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (71%)

Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.

Tests exist

No test files found

Add tests that exercise each declared tool.

// full audit trail
The findings above are the summary. The full trail, every check we ran, each deduction, the network hosts observed and the dependency advisories, goes to verified publishers, along with an alert whenever a new one lands. Verified publishers can also review each finding and dispute it in one click. Publisher corrections have sharpened several of our checks this month, because the maintainer knows the codebase better than any scanner.
// improvement guidance — verified publishers only
We have 5 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
