This connects GrepAI's semantic code search to Claude Code through MCP, giving the AI assistant tools to search your codebase, trace call graphs, and check index status. Setup is literally one command: `claude mcp add grepai -- grepai mcp-serve`. The compact mode is smart, cutting token usage by 80% by returning terse JSON instead of full content. You'll want this if you're already running GrepAI with Ollama embeddings and want Claude to actually understand your project structure instead of just reading files linearly. Works best with `grepai watch` running in the background to keep the index fresh. The multi-project workspace support is handy if you're bouncing between frontend and backend repos.
