An MCP server that exposes Sourcegraph Zoekt code search to any MCP-capable AI agent — Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, MCP Inspector, etc. — so the agent can run fast, indexed, regex/symbol-aware code search over your repositories regardless of the language you're working in.

Getting from "nothing installed" to "Claude can search my code" is three steps: install the MCP server, run the backend, wire it into your client. No git clone required in any of them.
You need exactly one of these to run the MCP server, plus Docker for the backend:
uv on your PATH — for the
uvx zoekt-mcp install path. MCP clients spawn the server via
uvx, so which uv must resolve in whatever shell your client
launches processes in. Install once per machine:
# Official installer (macOS / Linux)
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
# Homebrew
brew install uv
# pipx
pipx install uv
The installer drops uv and uvx into ~/.local/bin/ (Linux/macOS)
or %USERPROFILE%\.local\bin\ (Windows). Verify with uv --version.
…or Docker — for the docker run ghcr.io/radiovisual/zoekt-mcp
install path. Any recent Docker
