How to Search GitHub Public Repo with Grep MCP

Grep allows you to search code across a million GitHub public repo.

And the search is really fast. You get the result within a second.

Even in GitHub it takes more time than that.

I usually use this tool to have a look at how others are using particular feature/method from library.

Now they support Remote MCP which can be accessed here

https://mcp.grep.app

How to setup?

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http grep https://mcp.grep.app

Cursor

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "grep": {
      "url": "https://mcp.grep.app"
    }
  }
}

Happy searching code!
