CodeRAG v0.2.0 — MCP server, dashboard, Docker one-shot

Cut Claude Code's token usage: register the MCP server and Claude Code calls CodeRAG retrieval instead of reading whole files.

pipx install "coderag[mcp] @ git+https://github.com/galacticsurfer/coderag"
claude mcp add coderag --env CODERAG_DATABASE_URL=postgresql+psycopg://coderag:coderag@localhost:5432/coderag -- coderag-mcp

Step-by-step guide: docs/claude-code.md

What's new

• MCP server (coderag-mcp): coderag_context / coderag_search / coderag_symbol / coderag_repositories / coderag_index
• Token dashboard at /dashboard — tokens saved, reduction %, per-query bars, query log (MCP calls included)
• --measure mode — measures the budgeted context against what reading the whole files would have cost
• Docker one-shot: make up boots Postgres + API + migrations + demo index
• VS Code extension (.vsix attached): Index / Search / Context / Ask / Open dashboard

No API key needed for retrieval, context, or the dashboard — only CodeRAG's own ask calls an LLM.

Honest note on savings

On the bundled demo repo --measure reports only ~8% saved (11 tiny files; fixed prompt scaffolding dominates). Savings scale with file-size ÷ symbol-size. Run coderag context "..." --measure on your own repository for a real number.

CodeRAG v0.1.0

First release: the CodeRAG platform plus a prebuilt VS Code extension.

Install the extension:

code --install-extension coderag-vscode-0.1.0.vsix

Requires a running CodeRAG server (see README). Retrieval (search/context) needs no LLM; only ask does.
