EnterpriseDB (the official provider of Windows binaries) offers standalone ZIP files containing everything you need. This requires no installation wizard and leaves your Windows Registry clean.

One-line install (macOS / Linux):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp/main/install.sh | bash
With graph visualization UI:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp/main/install.sh | bash -s -- --ui
Windows (PowerShell):
# 1. Download the installer Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp/main/install.ps1 -OutFile install.ps1 # 2. (Optional but recommended) Inspect the script notepad install.ps1 # 3. Run it .\install.ps1
Options: --ui (graph visualization), --skip-config (binary only, no agent setup), --dir=<path> (custom location).
Restart your coding agent. Say “Index this project” — done.
If you downloaded the ui variant:
codebase-memory-mcp --ui=true --port=9749
Open http://localhost:9749 in your browser. The UI runs as a background thread alongside the MCP server — it’s available whenever your agent is connected.
Enable automatic indexing on MCP session start:
codebase-memory-mcp config set auto_index true
When enabled, new projects are indexed automatically on first connection. Previously-indexed projects are registered with the background watcher for ongoing git-based change detection. Configurable file limit: config set auto_index_limit 50000.
codebase-memory-mcp update
The MCP server also checks for updates on startup and notifies on the first tool call if a newer release is available.
codebase-memory-mcp uninstall
Removes all agent configs, skills, hooks, and instructions. Does not remove the binary or SQLite databases.

Configure Cargo Linkers
Cargo needs to know which linker to pull when you pass a --target flag. Create or edit your global Cargo configuration file at ~/.cargo/config.toml (or create one locally inside your project folder) and add the following mapping:
# ==================== 🪟 WINDOWS TARGET ==================== [target.x86_64-pc-windows-gnu] linker = "x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc" ar = "x86_64-w64-mingw32-ar" # ==================== 🤖 ANDROID ARMV8 (64-bit ARM) ==================== # This matches: aarch64-linux-android35-clang [target.aarch64-linux-android] linker = "/opt/android-ndk/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/aarch64-linux-android35-clang" # ==================== 🤖 ANDROID ARMV7 (32-bit ARM) ==================== # This matches: armv7a-linux-androideabi35-clang [target.armv7-linux-androideabi] linker = "/opt/android-ndk/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/armv7a-linux-androideabi35-clang"
⚠️ Important NDK Note: Double-check the path inside /opt/android-ndk/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/. Depending on the NDK version installed, the API version number suffix at the end of the compiler name (e.g., android34-clang) might vary (like android31-clang). Change it to match what is present in your folder.
Fix the Critical Android Linker Issue
Rust cross-compilation for Android has a historic quirk: even when you specify the custom clang compiler executable above as your linker, Cargo’s internal driver often tries to pass arguments to it using standard GNU tools (strip, ar) rather than the LLVM tools inside the NDK.
To prevent compilation failures when building complex dependency crates, you must let your terminal environment know where the NDK binaries live. Add these exports to your shell script or run them right before building:
export ANDROID_NDK_HOME="/opt/android-ndk" export PATH="$ANDROID_NDK_HOME/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin:$PATH"
If you are using the Fish Shell, run these lines instead to set them up:
set -gx ANDROID_NDK_HOME /opt/android-ndk set -gx PATH $ANDROID_NDK_HOME/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin $PATH

Using Registry Editor (regedit) – for all Windows Editions
Press Windows + R, type regedit, and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\NetworkConnectivityStatusIndicator. If the NetworkConnectivityStatusIndicator key does not exist, right-click on the Windows key, select New > Key, and name it exactly that.
In the right pane, right-click and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
Create the following two values and set their data to 1:
NoActiveProbe
DisablePassivePolling
Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
This method uses a command to forcefully stop the auto-configuration feature.
Search for “Command Prompt”, right-click it, and select Run as administrator.
To disable the automatic configuration, run: netsh wlan set autoconfig enable=no interface="Wi-Fi".
To re-enable it later, simply change no to yes in the same command.
hosts FileThis method is complex and not recommended for the average user as it involves running a local web server to “trick” Windows into thinking the NCSI tests are passing.
Edit the hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) and add these lines: 127.0.0.1 www.msftconnecttest.com and 127.0.0.1 www.msftncsi.com.
Run a local web server (like XAMPP) that responds to these requests.
Run this on your PC:
ssh -N -R 127.0.0.1:1080 ubuntu_user@UBUNTU_SERVER_IP
This creates a SOCKS proxy on the Ubuntu server at:
127.0.0.1:1080
Traffic from the Ubuntu server will go through SSH and exit from your PC’s internet connection.
On the Ubuntu server, test it:
curl --proxy socks5h://127.0.0.1:1080 https://ifconfig.me
Then run this on the Ubuntu server:
ssh -N -D 127.0.0.1:1080 pc_user@PC_IP
curl --proxy socks5h://127.0.0.1:1080 https://ifconfig.me
For example, if you already use one of these apps:
| App | Common HTTP / mixed proxy port |
|---|---|
| v2rayN | 10809 or similar |
| Clash Verge / Clash for Windows | 7890 |
| NekoRay / NekoBox | usually configurable |
Use the app’s HTTP or mixed proxy port.
ssh -N -R 127.0.0.1:1080:127.0.0.1:7890 ubuntu_user@UBUNTU_SERVER_IP
Open the Local Group Policy Editor: Press Windows + R, type gpedit.msc into the Run dialog, and click “OK”.
Navigate to the Policy: Go to the following path in the left panel:
Computer Configuration → Administrative Templates → Windows Components → File Explorer
(Note: In some Windows 11 versions, this may be named “Windows Explorer” instead.)
Open the Policy Setting: In the right panel, double-click “Configure Windows Defender SmartScreen”.
Disable SmartScreen: In the window that opens, select the Disabled option and click Apply and then OK to save the changes.
If you want every single .exe you launch to attempt to run with your full Admin token by default, you can tweak the registry.
Press Win + R, type regedit, and hit Enter.
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Look for the value EnableLUA.
Double-click it and change the Value Data to 0.
Restart your computer.
Download & Install: Download the installer from the official MSYS2 website and run it. Using the default installation path (e.g., C:\msys64) is highly recommended
pacman -Syu
pacman -S --needed base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
rustup toolchain install stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
rustup set default-host x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
Create (or edit) a file at %USERPROFILE%\.cargo\config.toml. Add these lines to explicitly tell Cargo which linker and archiver to use; replace C:\msys64 with your actual MSYS2 path if different
[target.x86_64-pc-windows-gnu] linker = "C:\\msys64\\mingw64\\bin\\gcc.exe" ar = "C:\\msys64\\mingw64\\bin\\ar.exe"
