Excerpt

SocratiCode Management

Set up, index, and manage SocratiCode codebase indexing, file watching, code graphs, and context artifacts.

First-Time Setup

Check infrastructure: codebase_health — verifies Docker, Qdrant, Ollama/embedding provider, and embedding model
Start indexing: codebase_index — runs in background, returns immediately
Poll progress: codebase_status — call every ~60 seconds until 100% complete
- This also keeps the MCP connection alive (some hosts disconnect idle connections)
Done: Graph auto-builds after indexing. File watcher auto-starts. Ready to search.

On first use, SocratiCode automatically pulls Docker images, starts containers, and downloads the embedding model (~5 min one-time setup).

Incremental Updates & File Watching

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
