mgrep for Claude Code
Semantic code and web search plugin for Claude Code
mgrep is a semantic search tool by Mixedbread that integrates into Claude Code as a plugin skill. It replaces or enhances standard keyword tools like ripgrep by enabling both semantic codebase search and live web queries directly inside the Claude interface.
How it works
Install: 'claude plugin marketplace add https://github.com/mixedbread-ai/mgrep' then install from /plugins. Usage: 'mgrep "function handleSubmit"' for local search, 'mgrep --web "Next.js 15 app router changes"' for web search.
What it's for
- Search codebases using semantic meaning rather than exact string matches
- Query the web for recent documentation or updates directly inside Claude Code
- Upgrade Claude Code's default search capabilities with a plugin-based workflow
Key points
- Installed via the Claude Code plugin marketplace
- Local codebase semantic search via the /mgrep skill
- Live web search functionality using the --web flag
- Direct integration into Claude Code workflows and agent interactions
