# Local Code Indexing for Cursor
An experimental Python-based server that **locally** indexes codebases using ChromaDB and provides a semantic search tool via an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for tools like Cursor.
## Setup
1. Clone and enter the repository:
```bash
git clone
cd cursor-local-indexing
```
2. Create a `.env` file by copying `.env.example`:
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
3. Configure your `.env` file:
```env
PROJECTS_ROOT=~/your/projects/root # Path to your projects directory
FOLDERS_TO_INDEX=project1,project2 # Comma-separated list of folders to index
```
Example:
```env
PROJECTS_ROOT=~/projects
FOLDERS_TO_INDEX=project1,project2
```
4. Start the indexing server:
```bash
docker-compose up -d
```
5. Configure Cursor to use the local search server:
Create or edit `~/.cursor/mcp.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"workspace-code-search": {
"url": "http://localhost:8978/sse"
}
}
}
```
6. Restart Cursor IDE to apply the changes.
The server will start indexing your specified projects, and you'll be able to use semantic code search within Cursor when those projects are active.
7. Open a project that you configured as indexed.
Create a `.cursorrules` file and add the following:
```
For any request, use the @search_code tool to check what the code does.
Prefer that first before resorting to command line grepping etc.
```
8. Start using the Cursor Agent mode and see it doing local vector searches!
