Last Updated: May 13, 2025

Open BoltAI settings
Navigate to the Settings page and find the MCP configuration section.

Insert the configuration snippet

Add the following configuration to your BoltAI settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cidx-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "cidx@latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Adding to existing configuration

If you already have other MCP servers configured, only add this part inside your mcpServers object:

  "cidx-mcp": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": [
      "cidx@latest"
    ]
  }

Example with another server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cidx-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["cidx@latest"]
    },
    "dummy-server": {
      "command": "dummy",
      "args": ["--mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Reload BoltAI
After saving the configuration, restart BoltAI to apply the changes.

Try it out!

Once configured, you can use CIDX MCP in your prompts by mentioning "mcp" or directly referencing "code index".
