Oxcode MCP Server

oxcode indexes source code into a graph and serves it to coding agents. It is built on oxgraph - a storage-agnostic, zero-copy-friendly graph/hypergraph topology substrate for Rust - and stores the index in a native oxgraph database under .oxcode/index.oxgdb/. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting coding agent tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Rust.

01 · Install Oxcode

Claude Code

claude mcp add oxgraph-oxcode -- npx -y @snowmead/oxcode-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "oxgraph-oxcode": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@snowmead/oxcode-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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 MIT - declared in the repository

npm package @snowmead/oxcode-mcp - the @snowmead scope differs from the repo owner (oxgraph); confirm it's the project's official package

registry registry publisher io.github.snowmead is not the repo owner (oxgraph) - the registry entry was published by someone else

06 · Oxcode FAQ

What is Oxcode?

oxcode indexes source code into a graph and serves it to coding agents. It is built on oxgraph - a storage-agnostic, zero-copy-friendly graph/hypergraph topology substrate for Rust - and stores the index in a native oxgraph database under .oxcode/index.oxgdb/. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

Is Oxcode still maintained?

Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-08-17 and it shipped 7 releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.

How do I install Oxcode?

Run `npx -y @snowmead/oxcode-mcp`. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Oxcode 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.
