I added MCP support to my side project so it works with Cursor (looking for feedback)

Hey,

I’ve been working on a side project called CodexA for a while now. It started as a simple code search tool, but lately I’ve been focusing more on making it work well with AI tools.

Recently I added MCP support, and got it working with Cursor — and honestly it made a big difference.

Instead of the AI only seeing the open file, it can now:

  • search across the whole repo

  • explain functions / symbols

  • pull dependencies and call graphs

  • get full context for parts of the codebase

Setup is pretty simple, basically just run:
codexa mcp --path your_project

and connect it in Cursor.

I wrote a small guide here (includes Cursor setup):
https://codex-a.dev/features/mcp-integration#cursor-setup

The project is fully open source, and it just crossed ~2.5k downloads which was kinda unexpected.

I’m still figuring out the best workflows for this, so I’d really appreciate feedback:

  • does this kind of setup actually fit your workflow?

  • what would make it more useful inside an editor?

  • anything confusing in the setup/docs?

Also, if anyone’s interested in making a demo/video walkthrough or can maintain the project , I’d actually love that contributions like that would be super helpful
thanks
