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
npm package codeix - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing
registry namespace io.github.montanetech is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

What is Codeix?
codeix.dev · Fast semantic code search for AI agents - find symbols, references, and callers across any codebase. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
Is Codeix still maintained?
Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-02-21. We re-verify nightly.
How do I install Codeix?
Run `npx -y codeix`. The README does not document required environment variables for a basic install. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.
Does Codeix run locally?
Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via npx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
