AiDex is an MCP server. Its repository has 46 GitHub stars and is licensed under MIT; we last read it on 2026-10-23.
AiDex is a server that indexes codebases for instant access by AI assistants such as Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and Cursor. It provides up to 50 times less context switching than using grep.
Install
MCP servers are packaged differently from each other -- some run via npx, some as a Docker image, some as a plain script you clone and run. AiDex’s own README did not state one plainly enough for this page to quote it rather than guess, so it will not guess. The repository below states it.
What it reaches, and what it needs
What it connects to
Unverified means a mention in the server’s own description, not a citation. A wrong claim here costs nothing to correct and nothing to trust yet.
Maintenance
MCP Server for persistent code indexing. Gives AI assistants (Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Cursor) instant access to your codebase. 50x less context than grep.
