Vexor MCP Server

A semantic search engine for files and code. This MCP entry surfaces a curated ranking/list from the project README rather than a classic multi-tool integration surface. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

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

01 · Install Vexor

before you install - you'll need

Set VEXOR_API_KEY, VEXOR_CONFIG_JSON before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add scarletkc-vexor -- uvx vexor

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scarletkc-vexor": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "vexor"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

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

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

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

What is Vexor?

Is Vexor still maintained?

Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-08-23 and it shipped 10+ releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.

How do I install Vexor?

Does Vexor run locally?

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
