# searchcode MCP Server - Server URL: https://api.searchcode.com/v1/mcp - Well-known: https://api.searchcode.com/.well-known/mcp.json - REST API: https://api.searchcode.com/api/v1/{tool_name}?client=your-app - OpenAPI Spec: https://searchcode.com/openapi.json - Transport: Streamable HTTP > Code intelligence for LLMs. Analyze, search, and retrieve code from any public git repository. searchcode.com provides an MCP server that gives LLMs structured access to code intelligence tools for any public git repository — no pre-built index required. Point it at a repo URL and get language breakdowns, complexity metrics, tech stack detection, static analysis, security scanning, full-text code search, and file retrieval. A plain JSON REST API is also available at `POST /api/v1/{tool_name}?client=your-app` for non-MCP clients. All 6 tools are mirrored with the same parameters and response shapes. See the [OpenAPI spec](https://searchcode.com/openapi.json) for full documentation. ## Installation No install or API key required.
