A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides powerful code search capabilities across public GitHub repositories using the grep.app API.
Connect Grep App MCP to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides powerful code search capabilities across public GitHub repositories using the grep.app API. Perfect for code discovery, learning from open source projects, and finding implementation. The grep app mcp mcp server is what makes that connection.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverModes — The Modes tool exposed by this serverEnvironments — The Environments tool exposed by this serverExamples — The Examples tool exposed by this serverSetup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Grep App MCP's toolset — Prerequisites, Modes, Environments and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by ai-tools-all; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
