Claude Context Enhanced

An enhanced fork of claude-context with stability fixes and improved reliability

---

Overview

Claude Context Enhanced is a stability-focused fork of claude-context with critical bug fixes and performance improvements. This enhanced version ensures reliable snapshot persistence, faster synchronization, and improved data availability for your semantic code search needs.

Key Enhancements

This fork includes the following improvements over the original claude-context:

• Fixed Snapshot Persistence - Resolved critical issue where snapshots weren't being saved after indexing
• Improved Background Sync - Reduced sync interval from 5 minutes to 2 minutes for faster updates
• Automatic Milvus Flush - Added automatic flush after indexing to ensure immediate data availability
• Enhanced Health Checks - Comprehensive MCP server configuration validation and health monitoring
• Better File Management - Added comprehensive context ignore patterns for cleaner indexing

What is Claude Context?

Claude Context is an MCP plugin that adds semantic code search to Claude Code and other AI coding agents, giving them deep context from your entire codebase.

🧠 Your Entire Codebase as Context: Uses semantic search to find all relevant code from millions of lines, bringing results straight into Claude's context.

💰 Cost-Effective for Large Codebases: Efficiently stores your codebase in a vector database and only uses related code in context to keep costs manageable.

Quick Start

Prerequisites

Get a free vector database on Zilliz Cloud

Claude Context needs a vector database. You can sign up on Zilliz Cloud to get an API key.

Copy your Personal Key to replace your-zilliz-cloud-api-key in the configuration examples.

Get OpenAI API Key for embedding model

You need an OpenAI API key for the embedding model. Get one at OpenAI.

Your API key starts with sk-. Copy your key and use it in the configuration examples below as your-openai-api-key.

Configure MCP for Claude Code

System Requirements:

• Node.js >= 20.0.0 and < 24.0.0

Claude Context is not compatible with Node.js 24.0.0, you need to downgrade it first if your node version is greater or equal to 24.

Configuration

Use the command line interface to add the Claude Context Enhanced MCP server:

# Install from npm (coming soon)
claude mcp add claude-context-enhanced \
  -e OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-openai-api-key \
  -e MILVUS_TOKEN=your-zilliz-cloud-api-key \
  -- npx claude-context-enhanced@latest

# Or install from GitHub
claude mcp add claude-context-enhanced \
  -e OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-openai-api-key \
  -e MILVUS_TOKEN=your-zilliz-cloud-api-key \
  -- npx @gitabozaid/claude-context-enhanced@latest

See the Claude Code MCP documentation for more details about MCP server management.

Usage in Your Codebase

1. Open Claude Code

   cd your-project-directory
   claude

2. Index your codebase:

   Index this codebase
   

3. Check indexing status:

   Check the indexing status
   

4. Start searching:

   Find functions that handle user authentication
   

🎉 That's it! You now have enhanced semantic code search with improved reliability.
