MCP server for codebase indexing with Voyage AI embeddings and Qdrant vector storage

# 🚀 Enhanced Multi-Workspace Codebase Indexing Strategy

## 🎯 SUPERIOR MULTI-WORKSPACE HANDLING

**Our MCP server will match and exceed Cursor's multi-workspace capabilities**

### ✅ **CURSOR PARITY FEATURES**

1. **Strict Workspace Isolation**
   - Each workspace gets its own isolated Qdrant collection
   - No cross-workspace context contamination 
   - Automatic workspace detection and switching

2. **Multi-Root Workspace Support**  
   - Support for VSCode `.code-workspace` files
   - Combined indexing across multiple project folders
   - Unified search across related projects

3. **Auto-Indexing Per Workspace**
   - Automatic detection of workspace changes
   - Lazy re-indexing when switching contexts
   - File watching per workspace boundary

4. **Performance Optimization**
   - Resource usage scales linearly per workspace
   - No interference between workspace instances
   - Intelligent caching per project

### 🚀 **ENHANCED FEATURES BEYOND CURSOR**

1. **Cross-Workspace Search**
   - Optional search across all indexed workspaces
   - Workspace-tagged results for context
   - Meta-collection for global queries

2. **Workspace Profiles**
   - Custom indexing settings per project type
   - Language-specific configurations
   - Project template auto-detection

3. **Smart Context Switching**
   - Recent files priority boost
   - Project relationship detection
   - Intelligent pre-indexing

4. **Advanced Isolation**
   - Cryptographic workspace fingerprinting
   - Automatic cleanup of stale workspaces
   - Workspace-specific exclude patterns

### 🎯 **IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY**

1. **Workspace Detection**: Hash-based ID generation from workspace root + git remote
2. **Collection Naming**: `workspace_{hash}` pattern for isolation
3. **Automatic Switching**: Detect workspace changes and switch collections seamlessly
4. **Multi-Root Support**: Parse `.code-workspace` files and index all folders
5. **Performance**: Maintain separate file watchers per workspace

### 💪 **COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES**

- **Better Isolation**: Cryptographic workspace IDs prevent collisions
- **More Flexible**: Cross-workspace search when needed
- **Smarter Caching**: Workspace-aware caching strategies  
- **Enhanced Privacy**: Complete workspace-level data separation
- **Superior Performance**: No shared state bottlenecks

**Result**: Our MCP server provides Cursor-level workspace isolation PLUS advanced features that go beyond what Cursor offers natively.
