CCRider: MCP server, setup and security

What CCRider does

According to its repository: “Full-text search, browse, and resume across your coding agent sessions (Claude Code, Codex, Amp)”

An MCP server gives an AI agent extra tools it calls during the conversation: the agent reads their description, decides to use them and gets the result back. CCRider is listed under Coding agents, a category of 151 servers in the directory, where it ranks #66 by stars.

Installing and connecting CCRider

Distribution modes declared in the official MCP registry:

• MCPB bundle (one-click install in Claude Desktop)

Like any MCP server, you declare it in your client's configuration (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex…): a name, the command that starts it or its URL, and any environment variables. The client then starts it and lists its tools. Project language: Go.

Security: what to check

An MCP server runs code with the rights you give it, and the model reads its tool descriptions: a malicious or compromised server can hijack the agent. Read the code, or pick a maintained and widely used server, before connecting it.

None of the risk signals we track (system access, secrets, missing licence, abandonment) applies to CCRider. That does not replace reading the code.

Good practice: grant only the rights needed (least privilege), require human approval for irreversible actions, and run the AI agent security check.

Project activity and maintenance

Created on November 11, 2025, the neilberkman/ccrider repository has 136 stars and 9 forks, with 0 open issues. It has more stars than 71% of the servers in the directory. It received changes this month. Version published in the registry: 1.14.0 (October 22, 2026).

Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
