Experimental API - Context Connectors is experimental and subject to breaking changes.
Prerequisites
Steps
1. Open Claude Desktop config
open ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
2. Add MCP server config
Local Filesystem
GitHub
GitLab
BitBucket

3. Restart Claude Desktop
Quit and reopen Claude Desktop.
4. Test it
Ask Claude:
Search for authentication logic in my-project
You should see Claude use the search tool and return code snippets.
Done!
Your agent can now search your codebase via the local MCP server.
Works With Other Agents
This same configuration works with any MCP-compatible agent:
- Claude Desktop - Follow the steps above
- Claude Code (VS Code extension) - Add to Claude Code’s MCP settings
- Cursor - Configure in Cursor’s MCP settings
- GitHub Copilot - Add to Copilot’s MCP configuration
- Custom agents - Any tool that supports MCP stdio protocol
Each agent has its own config file location, but the MCP server configuration is the same.
Also Works With
| Instead of… | Try… |
|---|
| One repo | Add multiple entries to mcpServers for different projects |
| Local index | S3-stored indexes with --store s3 and CC_S3_BUCKET env var |
| Search only | Add --search-only to disable file reading |
