# Index Large Codebases for Agent Search With Socraticode

Use Socraticode to give coding agents a local codebase-intelligence layer for semantic search, dependency graphs, impact analysis, and call-flow investigation.

## Prerequisites

Node.js 18+, Socraticode CLI or MCP server, and a compatible agent client such as Claude Code, VS Code, Cursor, or another MCP-capable coding environment

## Installation

Prerequisite: Docker must be installed and running. SocratiCode pulls its local service containers on first use.

For Claude Code, install the upstream plugin:

- claude plugin marketplace add giancarloerra/socraticode
- claude plugin install socraticode@socraticode

For MCP-only hosts, add the documented server command:

- claude mcp add socraticode -- npx -y socraticode

For Codex, add this MCP server to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.socraticode]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "socraticode"]
