greplm-mcp-0.6.0 is not a library.

greplm-mcp

Model Context Protocol (MCP) stdio server for greplm.

Exposes the greplm trigram code index to LLM agents in Cursor, Claude Desktop, and other MCP clients. All logging goes to stderr; stdout is reserved for the protocol.

Install

With Rust:

cargo install --locked --git https://github.com/KhaledSMQ/greplm greplm-mcp

From this workspace:

cargo install --path crates/greplm-mcp

Install both binaries at once:

cargo install --locked --git https://github.com/KhaledSMQ/greplm greplm-cli greplm-mcp

Client configuration

Point your MCP client at the greplm-mcp binary and pass the project root as the first argument:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "greplm": {
      "command": "/absolute/path/to/greplm-mcp",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/your/project"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor — add to .cursor/mcp.json or global MCP settings.

Claude Desktop — add to claude_desktop_config.json.

The server only indexes paths under the configured root. A caller-supplied root in index_project is honored only when it stays within that boundary.

Tools

Call index_project once before searching, or after large changes. For new tasks, prefer build_context to load exactly the relevant code on a token budget instead of reading whole files.

Tool	Purpose
`index_project`	Build or refresh the index (incremental or `force`)
`search_code`	Content search (literal / regex / whole-word / filters)
`find_symbol`	Symbol lookup (exact / prefix / substring / fuzzy)
`find_references`	Occurrences of an identifier (definitions first)
`resolved_references`	Resolved refs from the structural index
`find_callers`	Who calls a function/method
`find_callees`	What a function/method calls
`impact_of`	Blast radius via the reverse call graph
`goto_definition`	Typed go-to-definition at file:line:col
`references_at`	Resolved references at file:line:col
`structural_search`	Tree-sitter query / `$NAME` pattern search
`build_context`	Task-driven, token-budgeted context pack
`git_blame`	Commit/author that last changed a line
`symbol_history`	Commits that touched a symbol
`changed_since`	Files (with symbols) changed since a revision
`get_file_outline`	Symbol outline of one file
`read_snippet`	Read a file slice with surrounding context
`repo_summary`	Language breakdown, file/symbol counts
`index_status`	Index stats

All tools return JSON payloads suitable for agent consumption.

Typical agent workflow

index_project — ensure the project is indexed
build_context — load a token-budgeted context pack for the task
search_code / find_symbol / goto_definition — drill into specifics
find_callers / find_callees / impact_of — understand dependencies before editing
read_snippet — fetch exact code at reported line numbers

Run manually

greplm-mcp /path/to/project

The process speaks MCP over stdin/stdout. Use an MCP inspector or your IDE to interact with it.

Environment

Variable	Effect
`GREPLM_LOG=debug`	Verbose logging to stderr
`GREPLM_NO_SAVINGS=1`	Disable token-savings recording
