}Frequently asked questions
What does the coldstart MCP server do?
Codebase memory for coding agents: a deterministic AST index finds task-relevant files, and in-repo Markdown notes flag themselves stale when code changes.
Is the coldstart MCP server free?
Yes, most likely. Open source and no paid account or API key is mentioned in the listing. Check the provider for current pricing.
Does coldstart run locally or remotely?
Local. Runs on your machine (stdio). You install it with npx, uvx, Docker or from source.
How do I add coldstart to Claude Code?
Run: claude mcp add coldstart -- npx -y @cstart/coldstart
