Vibe Hnindex tools (6, 1 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
delete_projectwrite actionDelete a project and all its indexed data from the knowledge base (both SQLite and Qdrant).
get_file_infoGet information about a specific indexed file including its chunks, line ranges, and language.
index_codebaseIndex an entire codebase directory for later search. Scans all supported source files, chunks them, and stores in the knowledge base with keyword and semantic indexes. Supports incremental indexing — unchanged files are skipped.
index_fileIndex or re-index a single file in an existing project. The project must have been indexed with index_codebase first.
list_projectsList all indexed projects with their metadata including file count, chunk count, and last indexed time.
searchSearch the indexed codebase. Returns matching code chunks with file paths, line numbers, and relevance scores. Supports keyword (FTS5/BM25), semantic (vector similarity), and hybrid (RRF fusion) modes.

vibe-hnindex
Local MCP server — index your repo once, search it in every AI session
Keyword (SQLite FTS5) · Semantic (Qdrant + Ollama embeddings) · Hybrid — your code stays on disk
MCP server (vibe-hnindex) latest: v0.12.0 · hnindex-cli v0.12.0 — Docs · Changelog · GitHub Releases
What this does
vibe-hnindex is a Model Context Protocol server. After you index a folder once, assistants (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity, …) can search that codebase with paths and line ranges — data is stored locally (SQLite + optional Qdrant). Embeddings use Ollama; vectors use Qdrant (Docker, local, or Qdrant Cloud with QDRANTAPIKEY).
Documentation
📚 Full docs site: docs.hnindex.cloud — 16 pages covering Getting Started, Configuration, Tools Reference, Guides, and Code Agent.
Also available in-repo: docs/getting-started.md, docs/configuration.md, docs/tools-reference.md.
CLI installer (hnindex)
Optional — writes the MCP JSON for you (merge-safe, same npx -y vibe-hnindex block as in the docs):
npm install -g hnindex-cli
# Setup MCP config
hnindex init --mcp antigravity # or: claude, cursor, windsurf, vscode, codex
hnindex init --list # show all targets and paths
# Install AI agent skill (recommended)
hnindex init-skill --target claude # or: antigravity, cursor, windsurf, vscode
hnindex init-skill --list # show all skill targets
# Update
hnindex update # npm update -g hnindex-cliSee docs.hnindex.cloud for full documentation.
