Overview

What is Greptile?

A TypeScript-powered MCP server that provides AI-powered code search and querying through the Greptile API, enabling natural language queries, deep code analysis, and cross-repository insights. It is built with the official MCP SDK and designed for integration with AI tools like Claude Desktop and Continue.

How to use Greptile?

Run npx greptile-mcp-server --api-key=xxx --github-token=yyy for instant start, or set environment variables GREPTILE_API_KEY and GITHUB_TOKEN. Use tools like index_repository and query_repository from any MCP-compatible client. An interactive setup wizard is available with npx greptile-mcp-server init.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to install anything locally to use Greptile?

No; the server runs via NPX with zero installation. Just run `npx greptile-mcp-server`.

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.
