mgrep

Semantic natural-language search for code, files, and the web

Replaces pattern-based grep with natural-language semantic search across code, PDFs, images, and text files. Indexes repositories in the background and lets AI agents find relevant code by intent instead of guessing exact keywords. Cuts agent token usage roughly in half by surfacing the right snippets first, and adds built-in web search alongside local results.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQPage Schema
How to install mgrep?▼

Run `npx skills add mixedbread-ai/mgrep --all -g -y` in your terminal to install the skill globally for your AI agent.

What is semantic code search?▼

Instead of matching exact text patterns like grep, mgrep understands the meaning of your question and finds relevant code by intent, so you can ask things like "where do we set up auth?".

Does mgrep work with Claude Code and other AI agents?▼

Yes. It ships with one-command installers for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Factory Droid, and its SKILL.md makes agents prefer mgrep over built-in search tools.

Can mgrep search the web too?▼

Yes. Add the --web flag to search the internet alongside your local files, and combine it with --answer to get a summarized response.

Does mgrep reduce AI agent token costs?▼

Yes. In a 50-task benchmark with Claude Code, mgrep used about 2x fewer tokens than grep-based workflows while maintaining equal or better answer quality.
