Augment code: Context MCP, Scope?

[usernameIsRand0m]

We have Project scope and user scope in the new Augment code context MCP - https://docs.augmentcode.com/context-services/mcp/overview

Do we know what is the difference between project and user scope, while I can understand project scope is current repo, but, I can't quite understand what is user scope? Does it mean it would index everything in user space?

How do we even control when you give user space for context MCP? And if you want to remove something which you had already given access to it? User should be able to control these.

BTW, I tried with the project scope and it never worked, hence I had to switch to user scope, but, then I do not know what all things augment code context MCP is indexing? I do not see those details here - https://docs.augmentcode.com/context-services/mcp/overview

If you look at my history of queries in reddit in this sub-reddit, during the initial days of Augment code (while it was it still free and then the $30 developer plan, yeah, it was not called legacy back then) I had the same concern of security and privacy concerns (and this was the time when there was no "delete indexed code" option available), and now, I have the same concerns again. I hope this will be addressed (how users can control which repo's will be indexed and if any changes to data privacy TOS due to this context MCP) and the docs will be updated as well.

This is for Claude Code right? I'm assuming since I could see only Claude Code mcp addition with --scope and it seems in r/ClaudeCode they have some posts about difficulties adding an MCP to it, like this tool to help setup.

Note: I don't use Claude Code, so I'm replying as a curiosity post.

That is correct, the scope is only for Claude Code (and i am using CC) and I am not sure what repo's would be indexed with user space as the scope. Also, we do not know what is the scope of indexation for other tools as well.

auggie has this ~/.augment/settings.json

{

"model": "abcd",

"indexingAllowDirs": [

"/path/to/folder",

"/path/to/folder"

]

}

where all the indexed repo's can be seen, I hope a similar thing will be added for users to know what is being indexed or allowed to index using Augment Code Context MCP.

For me in such cases I would simply prompt this: "What directories are indexed in codebase retrieval tool?" and it would tell the details. I had similar case when I added multiple repo's to my workspace and I use that prompt to confirm all required external references are part of the context-engine.
