Failed the setup in Cline

[Milunnn]

Hey there, I followed the installation steps but I got stuck at an issue. The issue is that Cline fails to connect to the MCP server.

My environment

OS: Windows 11
IDE: VSCode
Coding agent: Cline (VSCode extension)

Issue

What gets written in Cline's MCP Servers window:

Error: Not in an initialized project directory. Run `ccc init` in your project root to get started. MCP error -32000: Connection closed

note that this gets shown even after it got initialized using the init command.

Steps I took

1. pipx install 'cocoindex-code[full]' (with sentence-transformers)
2. Added this to my cline_mcp_settings.json:

{
    "github.com/cocoindex-io/cocoindex-code": {
            "command": "C:\\Users\\user\\.local\\bin\\ccc.exe", // I use windows and didnt setup PATH for it hence the full path here
            "args": [
                "mcp"
            ],
            "disabled": false,
            "autoApprove": []
    }
}

3. After this point, it gets registered in Cline's MCP Servers window, but it shows the error message as mentioned above. So I initialized it using the command:
   • C:\\Users\\user\\.local\\bin\\ccc.exe init
4. A folder .cocoindex_code has been created and I tried some commands via console like:
   • C:\\Users\\user\\.local\\bin\\ccc.exe index
   • Works perfectly
5. Cline still shows the error, I restart VSCode and the issue remains.

Anyone knows what the issue could be? Thanks
