Structured Code Search MCP

When to use

Use when developing a new MCP server, debugging an MCP connection, or integrating an agent with standard MCP protocols.

Requirements / Checks

This is primarily an informational/reference skill.

Prefer installed/pinned structured code search binaries over remote npx -y ...@latest execution.

Confirm MCP client supports required transport and method filtering.

Bound any search path to the current workspace unless user approves otherwise.

Workflow

Choose mode: Decide whether the client needs raw tools, an agent layer, or direct CLI.

Bound scope: Set base path/default paths and token/result limits before broad search.

Expose tools: Keep tool schemas strict for search, AST query, extraction, and symbol listing.

Filter methods: Use allowlists for read/search methods and block destructive methods by default.

Handle transport: Support stdio or HTTP intentionally; set connect/tool timeouts.

Debug minimally: Enable debug logs only long enough to capture connection, tool discovery, and failed calls.

Tool Model To Preserve

search_code: text/boolean search with session dedup and result limits.

query_code: AST/structural search for code shapes.

extract_code: file/line/symbol extraction after search narrows scope.

symbols_code: symbol inventory for target files.

Safety Constraints

Always validate input arguments to MCP tools against the defined JSON schema before execution.

MCP servers must enforce strict path boundaries.

Do not expose write/edit modes unless the user explicitly requested code modification.

Do not include test files or broad dirs by default when the task asks for production behavior only.

Validation / Done Criteria

MCP setup has bounded paths, strict schemas, filtered methods, and timeouts.

Search/extract workflow returns enough source context without flooding the model.
