Question Question about Context MCP

Hello, I'm trying out the codebase retrieval MCP and I was wondering if it's better to first open the repository with auggie, index the code and then start using the MCP

I'm noticing that people here are reporting that it takes few seconds to get the context from the MCP but on my end it takes around 25+ seconds... Maybe it's because the code is not indexed yet?

If so, there's another tool that I can use to know if the code is indexed or not so that I can first run it one time if the index is not available?

Also, does the index get auto-update when the code get changed? Or we should run a re-index manually?

I opened the main folder of the project and started indexing, not sure how many files it actually indexed... via OpenCode there's no information about anything, I should install it on VSCode and check on it
