### Description (declared)

# Grep MCP Server

A **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** server that provides GitHub code search capabilities through the [grep.app](https://grep.app) API. This server enables AI assistants to search through millions of GitHub repositories for specific code patterns, functions, and implementations.

## 🚀 Features

- **🔍 GitHub Code Search**: Search across millions of GitHub repositories using grep.app's powerful search index
- **🎯 Advanced Filtering**: Filter results by programming language, repository, and file path
- **📊 Smart Formatting**: Results include syntax highlighting, repository grouping, and summary statistics
- **⚡ High Performance**: Async implementation with proper error handling and rate limiting
- **🛠️ Multiple Transport Modes**: Supports both stdio and SSE (Server-Sent Events) transport
- **📝 Rich Results**: Returns file paths, line numbers, code snippets, and repository information

## 📋 Requirements

- **Python**: 3.10 or higher
- **Dependencies**:
  - `mcp` - Model Context Protocol framework
  - `starlette` - Web framework for SSE transport
  - `uvicorn` - ASGI server
  - `aiohttp` - Async HTTP client for API requests

## 🔧 Installation

### Using uv (Recommended)

```bash
# Install directly from PyPI
uv add grep-mcp

# Or install from source
git clone https://github.com/galperetz/grep-mcp.git
cd grep-mcp
uv sync
```

### Using pip

```bash
pip install grep-mcp
```

## 🎯 Usage

### As MCP Server (Recommended)

Add to your MCP client configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "grep-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["grep-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Direct Execution

```bash
# Run with stdio transport (default)
python -m grep_mcp

# Run with SSE transport
python -m grep_mcp --transport sse --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080
```

### Command Line Arguments

- `--transport`: Choose between `stdio` (default) or `sse`
- `--host`: Host to bind to for SSE mode (default: `0.0.0.0`)
- `--port`: Port to listen on for SSE mode (default: `808…
