Can I use Greptile with any MCP-compatible client?
Yes; it implements the standard Model Context Protocol and works with Claude Desktop, MCP CLI tools, and any other MCP-compatible client.
How do I index private repositories?
Ensure your GitHub token has `repo` permissions for the private repositories you want to index.
How long does it take to index a repository?
Indexing time varies by size – small repos (<1000 files) typically take 1–2 minutes, larger ones 10–15 minutes. Use `get_repository_info` to check status.
Is my code data secure?
Your code is processed by Greptile’s API according to their security and privacy policies. See Greptile’s security page for details.
