Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@th0thsearch for login function in my project"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

Ancient knowledge keeper for modern code
Semantic search with 98% token reduction for AI assistants.
Como reduzi 98% do uso de contexto (e custos) de IA no meu workflow / How I reduced AI context usage (and costs) by 98% in my workflow https://www.tabnews.com.br/S1LV4/como-reduzi-em-98-por-cento-o-uso-de-contexto-e-os-custos-de-ia-no-meu-workflow
Quick Start
One-line install (recommended)
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/S1LV4/th0th/main/install.sh | bashInstalls interactively. Three modes:
Mode | Requires | Best for |
Docker (default) | Docker | Production, quick start |
Docker build | Docker + Git | Custom builds, local changes |
Source | Git + Bun | Development, contributors |
Non-interactive (CI/scripted):
# Docker mode, custom port, skip start
TH0TH_MODE=docker TH0TH_API_PORT=4000 TH0TH_NO_START=1 \
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/S1LV4/th0th/main/install.sh | bashManual setup (from source)
# 1. Clone and install
git clone https://github.com/S1LV4/th0th.git
cd th0th
bun install
# 2. Setup (100% offline with Ollama)
./scripts/setup-local-first.sh
# - Installs/starts Ollama
# - Pulls bge-m3 embedding model (1024 dimensions)
# - Creates .env with defaults
# - Runs bun run diagnose to validate the stack
# 3. Build and start
bun run build
bun run start:apiVerify: curl http://localhost:3333/health
Tip: Run
bun run diagnoseat any time to validate Ollama connectivity, database access, embedding generation, and migration status.

Integration
OpenCode (recommended)
File: ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json
Via MCP package:
{
"mcp": {
"th0th": {
"type": "local",
"command": [
"bunx",
"@th0th-ai/mcp-client"
],
"environment": {
"TH0TH_API_URL": "http://localhost:3333"
},
"enabled": true
}
}
}Via Plugin:
{
"plugin": ["@th0th-ai/opencode-plugin"]
}From source (development):
{
"mcpServers": {
"th0th": {
"type": "local",
"command": ["bun", "run", "/path/to/th0th/apps/mcp-client/src/index.ts"],
"enabled": true
}
}
}VSCode / Antigravity
Create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:
{
"servers": {
"th0th": {
"command": "bunx",
"args": ["@th0th-ai/mcp-client"],
"env": {
"TH0TH_API_URL": "http://localhost:3333"
}
}
}
}Or run ./scripts/setup-vscode.sh for automatic configuration.

}Available Tools
Indexing & Search
Tool | Description |
| Index a project directory with semantic embeddings |
| Poll background indexing job progress |
| Hybrid semantic + keyword search with RRF ranking. Supports |
| Force full reindex after a large refactor |
| Delete all indexed data for a project (vectors, symbols, memories) |
| List all indexed projects with status and file counts |
| One-shot project summary: stats, top files by PageRank, symbol distribution |
Symbol Graph
Tool | Description |
| Find function/class/type definitions by name |
| Find all usages of a symbol across the project |
| Jump to definition with file + line context |
| Get raw code snippet by file + line range |
| Read a file with symbol metadata and imports |
Memory
Tool | Description |
| Store important information in persistent memory |
| Semantic search over stored memories |
| Browse memories by type/importance (audit mode) |
| Compress context (keeps structure, removes detail) |
| Search + compress in one call (max token efficiency) |
| Usage patterns, cache performance, metrics |
Synapse (Cognitive Layer)
Synapse is an optional post-retrieval modulation layer that improves result quality over a session by tracking task context, agent affinity, and working-memory. Enable by creating a session and passing sessionId to th0th_search.
Tool | Description |
| Create/resume a cognitive session scoped to a task |
| Seed working-memory buffer with recalled memories |
| Record file access to boost that file in future searches |
Search Quality Tuning
Environment variables for fine-tuning retrieval (all optional):
Variable | Default | Description |
|
| Pure vector-only mode (+44% MRR on NL→code) |
|
| Keyword weight multiplier for code queries |
|
| Vector similarity weight in final score blend |
|
| Diversity cap — prevents one file monopolising results |
|
| Score threshold below which results are dropped |
|
| Delay between Ollama embed calls (set >0 for CPU) |
