How to: Cline searchcode code_file_tree
Add searchcode to Cline
-
01
Open ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp": {
"url": "https://api.searchcode.com/v1/mcp"
}
}
}
-
02
Save the file and restart Cline.
-
03
Ask for something code_file_tree does. Cline lists the server's tools on connect and calls code_file_tree itself — you do not invoke it by name.

04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that searchcode's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Same tool, other clients
This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 2026. It is what
the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.
Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
