+# LEANN Claude Code Integration
+
+Intelligent code assistance using LEANN's vector search directly in Claude Code.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+First, install LEANN CLI globally:
+
+```bash
+uv tool install leann-core
+```
+
+This makes the `leann` command available system-wide, which `leann_mcp` requires.
+
+## Quick Setup
+
+Add the LEANN MCP server to Claude Code:
+
+```bash
+claude mcp add leann-server -- leann_mcp
+```
+
+## Available Tools
+
+- **`leann_list`** - List available indexes across all projects
+- **`leann_search`** - Search code and documents with semantic queries
+- **`leann_ask`** - Ask questions and get AI-powered answers from your codebase
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Build an index for your project
+leann build my-project
+
+# Start Claude Code
+claude
+```
+
+Then in Claude Code:
+```
+Help me understand this codebase. List available indexes and search for authentication patterns.
+```
+
+<p align="center">
+  <img src="../../assets/claude_code_leann.png" alt="LEANN in Claude Code" width="80%">
+</p>
+
+
+## How It Works
+
+- **`leann`** - Core CLI tool for indexing and searching (installed globally)
+- **`leann_mcp`** - MCP server that wraps `leann` commands for Claude Code integration
+- Claude Code calls `leann_mcp`, which executes `leann` commands and returns results
+
+## File Support
+
+Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Go, Rust, SQL, YAML, JSON, and 30+ more file types.
+
+## Storage
+
+- Project indexes in `.leann/` directory (like `.git`)
+- Global project registry at `~/.leann/projects.json`
+- Multi-project support built-in
+
+## Removing
+
+```bash
+claude mcp remove leann-server
+```
