Big Indexer MCP Server

BGI is a static architecture analysis tool for large codebases. It groups code units by behavioral role and emits explicit architectural boundaries. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting this server to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Big Indexer

before you install - you'll need

BGI_TELEMETRY

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add ahmedxuhri-bigindexer -- uvx bigindexer

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ahmedxuhri-bigindexer": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "bigindexer"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license Apache-2.0 - declared in the repository

pypi package bigindexer - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.ahmedxuhri is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Big Indexer can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

Limitations (from the README)

1. BGI is static analysis; it does not ingest runtime traces. 2. Cross-file semantic resolution is heuristic and language-dependent. 3. Cluster-size health is measured; full external precision/recall is not yet published. 4. Shared-host benchmarking introduces variance; decisions should use controlled medians.
