How to Set Up and Use Ace MCP Go
Ace MCP Go is a Go-based MCP server that indexes your local codebase and exposes a semantic search tool so AI assistants can find relevant code across large projects. It builds a searchable index of your source files, exposes a search_context tool over MCP, and is compatible with Augment-style indexing workflows. Configuration lives in a TOML file, and the server optionally exposes a local web interface for monitoring and management.
Prerequisites
- Go 1.21 or later installed
- Git installed
- Make (for the build process)
- An MCP-enabled client such as Claude Desktop or Cursor
- A codebase to index (the server reads source files from disk)
Clone the repository
Clone the ace-mcp-go source repository to your local machine.
git clone https://github.com/xiaoxu123195/ace-mcp-go.git
cd ace-mcp-goBuild and install the binary
Use the provided Makefile to install dependencies and build the acemcp binary.
make install
make buildCreate the configuration file
Create the settings TOML file at ~/.acemcp/settings.toml. At minimum, set the API endpoint and authentication token. Adjust index settings to match your codebase size.
mkdir -p ~/.acemcp
cat > ~/.acemcp/settings.toml << 'EOF'
[api]
endpoint = "http://127.0.0.1:3000"
token = "your-auth-token"
[index]
batch_size = 10
max_lines = 800
concurrency = 0
[web_server]
enabled = true
host = "127.0.0.1"
port = 3000
EOFAdd the server to your MCP client configuration
Configure your MCP client to launch the built binary. Replace /path/to with the actual path to the ace-mcp-go directory.
{
"mcpServers": {
"acemcp-go": {
"command": "/path/to/ace-mcp-go/bin/acemcp"
}
}
}Restart your MCP client and index your codebase
Restart your MCP client to load the server. Ask your AI assistant to index your project directory; the server will process source files and build a searchable index.
Ace MCP Go Examples
Client configuration
Minimal claude_desktop_config.json entry pointing to the built acemcp binary.
{
"mcpServers": {
"acemcp-go": {
"command": "/path/to/ace-mcp-go/bin/acemcp"
}
}
}Prompts to try
Example prompts leveraging the search_context tool to find code across your indexed repository.
- "Search the codebase for all functions that handle authentication"
- "Find code related to database connection pooling"
- "Show me examples of error handling patterns used in this project"
- "Search for usages of the UserRepository interface"Troubleshooting Ace MCP Go
Binary not found or permission denied
After running 'make build', check that the binary exists at bin/acemcp and is executable. Run 'chmod +x bin/acemcp' if needed. Use the absolute path in your MCP client config.
Settings file not found at startup
Ensure ~/.acemcp/settings.toml exists with valid TOML syntax. The server looks for the config at that fixed location. Check that the [api] section has a valid endpoint and token.
search_context returns no results
The codebase must be indexed before searches return results. Ask the AI to trigger indexing of your project directory first. Also check that max_lines is set high enough to include your files (default 800 lines per file).
