Cursor Codebase Indexing
Overview
What is Codebase Indexing?
Codebase indexing creates a searchable representation of your code:
- Enables @codebase queries
- Powers semantic code search
- Improves AI context awareness
- Helps AI understand project structure
Prerequisites
- Cursor IDE installed and authenticated
- Project workspace with source files
- Sufficient disk space for index storage
- Stable network connection for initial setup
Instructions
- Open your project in Cursor
- Navigate to Settings > Cursor > Codebase Indexing
- Enable "Index this workspace"
- Create
.cursorignorefile at project root - Add exclusion patterns for large/irrelevant directories
- Wait for indexing to complete (check status bar)
- Test with
@codebasequeries in chat
Output
- Indexed codebase enabling
@codebasequeries - Semantic code search functionality
- Improved AI context awareness
- Searchable symbol table and definitions
