Optional Features

CodeForge includes several features that are available but not enabled by default. This page covers how to enable and configure them.

mcp-qdrant (Vector Memory for Claude)

Adds persistent vector memory to Claude Code via a Qdrant MCP server. Claude can store and retrieve information across sessions using qdrant-store and qdrant-find tools.

Enabling

Add to devcontainer.json under "features":

"./features/mcp-qdrant": {
    "collectionName": "my-project-memory",
    "embeddingModel": "all-MiniLM-L6-v2"
}

Options

Option	Default	Description
`collectionName`	`agent-memory`	Qdrant collection name
`embeddingModel`	`all-MiniLM-L6-v2`	Embedding model for vector search
`qdrantUrl`	(empty)	Remote Qdrant server URL. If empty, uses local storage.
`qdrantApiKey`	(empty)	API key for remote Qdrant server
`qdrantLocalPath`	`/workspaces/.qdrant/storage`	Local storage path (when no URL set)

Supported Embedding Models

all-MiniLM-L6-v2 — default, smallest, fastest
BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5
BAAI/bge-base-en-v1.5
sentence-transformers/all-mpnet-base-v2

How It Works

During container build, the embedding model is pre-downloaded from GCS (not HuggingFace, to avoid network issues in containers).
On container start, a post-start hook registers the Qdrant MCP server in Claude Code’s settings.json.
Claude Code can then use qdrant-store and qdrant-find tools to persist and search memories.

Disabling Default Features

Any feature can be disabled without removing it from devcontainer.json by setting "version": "none":

"./features/hadolint": { "version": "none" },
"./features/shellcheck": { "version": "none" }

The feature entry stays in the config for easy re-enabling — just remove "version": "none" or set it to "latest".
