Nia Codebase MCP
The Nia Codebase MCP server allows you to integrate with Nia's codebase understanding capabilities through function calling in tools like Cursor, Claude Desktop, and other MCP-compatible clients.
Installation
You can use this MCP server without installing it using npx:
Transport Options
The Nia Codebase MCP server supports two transport methods:
1. Standard Input/Output (stdio) - Default
This is the default transport method and is used when no transport is specified:
2. Server-Sent Events (SSE)
To use SSE transport, specify the `--transport=sse` flag and optionally a port (default is 3000):
Usage in MCP Clients
Cursor
- Open Cursor Settings > Features > MCP Servers
- Add a new MCP server
- Name: `nia-codebase`
- Type: `command`
- Command: `npx -y nia-codebase-mcp@1.0.1 --api-key=YOUR_NIA_API_KEY`
Claude Desktop
Add to your Claude Desktop configuration at `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`:
For Windows users, the configuration is at `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`.
Example Prompts
Debugging
If the server isn't working properly, you can enable debug mode:
Environment Variables
You can also configure the server using environment variables:
- `NIA_API_KEY`: Your Nia API key
- `TRANSPORT`: The transport method to use (`stdio` or `sse`)
- `PORT`: The port to use for SSE transport (default: 3000)
- `TOOL_TIMEOUT_MS`: Custom timeout for tool execution (default: 300000ms)
- `DEBUG`: Enable debug mode (`true` or `false`)
Tools
This MCP server provides the following tool:
- **lookup_codebase_context**: Look up context from a codebase indexed in Nia, retrieving relevant code snippets based on user queries.
Requirements
- Node.js 18 or higher
- A valid Nia API key
- A codebase indexed in Nia
