| 19 | **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. |
| 20 | Â |
| 21 | 🧠**Your Entire Codebase as Context**: Claude Context uses semantic search to find all relevant code from millions of lines. No multi-round discovery needed. It brings results straight into the Claude's context. |
| 22 | Â |
| 23 | 💰 **Cost-Effective for Large Codebases**: Instead of loading entire directories into Claude for every request, which can be very expensive, Claude Context efficiently stores your codebase in a vector database and only uses related code in context to keep your costs manageable. |

| 33 | ## Quick Start |
| 34 | Â |
| 35 | ### Prerequisites |
| 36 | Â |
| 37 | <details> |
| 38 | <summary>Get a free vector database on Zilliz Cloud 👈</summary> |
| 39 | Â |
| 40 | Claude Context needs a vector database. You can [sign up](https://cloud.zilliz.com/signup?utm_source=github&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=2507-codecontext-readme) on Zilliz Cloud to get an API key. |
| 41 | Â |

| 43 | Â |
| 44 | Copy your Personal Key to replace `your-zilliz-cloud-api-key` in the configuration examples. |
| 45 | </details> |
| 46 | Â |
| 47 | <details> |
| 48 | <summary>Get OpenAI API Key for embedding model</summary> |
| 49 | Â |
| 50 | You need an OpenAI API key for the embedding model. You can get one by signing up at [OpenAI](https://platform.openai.com/api-keys). |
| 51 | Â |
| 52 | Your API key will look like this: it always starts with `sk-`. |
| 53 | Copy your key and use it in the configuration examples below as `your-openai-api-key`. |
| 54 | Â |
| 55 | </details> |
| 56 | Â |
| 57 | ### Configure MCP for Claude Code |
| 58 | Â |
| 59 | **System Requirements:** |
