`--watch` re-indexes changed files live via fsnotify. `--cache-dir ~/.cache/gortex` (default) saves snapshots between restarts so subsequent starts are ~200ms instead of 3-5s.

To also get the web UI + HTTP server API:
To also get the HTTP server API (the UI is a separate Next.js app in `web/` that talks to it over HTTP):

```bash
gortex server --index . --web --watch
gortex server --index . --watch
```

Open `http://localhost:4747` for the force-directed graph explorer.
`gortex server` listens on `http://localhost:4747` and exposes `/v1/*` (including `/v1/graph` and `/v1/events` for force-directed rendering).

**Option B — your IDE starts it automatically.** The `.mcp.json` that `gortex init` created tells the IDE how to spawn `gortex mcp`. You don't run anything yourself. Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code all work this way. Downside: each tool gets its own server process (memory cost scales with number of tools).
