Codeseeker MCP Server

Four-layer hybrid search and knowledge graph for AI coding assistants. BM25 + vector embeddings + RAPTOR directory summaries + graph expansion - fused into a single MCP tool that gives Claude, Copilot, and Cursor a real understanding of your codebase. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with code assistant, developer tools and github copilot and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
