Cognee MCP Server

Knowledge & MemoryPython
Knowledge management and retrieval system with code graph capabilities

Cognee MCP provides a powerful knowledge management system that enables semantic search and retrieval across your data. It specializes in code understanding through its code graph pipeline, allowing for intelligent navigation and comprehension of codebases. The MCP server integrates with the broader Cognee ecosystem to provide context-aware responses and insights based on your data.

Cognee MCP

Cognee MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that provides knowledge management and retrieval capabilities with a focus on code understanding.

Installation

To install and use Cognee MCP, follow these steps:

  1. Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/topoteretes/cognee.git
cd cognee/cognee-mcp
  1. Set up a Python environment (the repository uses Python 3.9+):
