Grep MCP Server Setup
Adds a grep entry to .mcp.json (in the current working directory) so Claude Code can call Grep research natively as MCP tools. After setup + restart, the agent gets 4 tools that wrap the same /research endpoints scripts/grep-api.js calls — but accessible directly from the model without shell-out.
When to use this skill vs the others
| Want | Use |
|---|---|
| One-off research from a Claude Code conversation | /research, /quick-research, /ultra-research (existing skills, no MCP setup) |
| MCP tools available natively so the model can call them in any future turn | /grep-mcp (you are here) |
| Programmatic access from a non-Claude agent | node scripts/grep-api.js run ... directly |
If the user's request is "do this one piece of research now," skip MCP setup — just call /research. Reach for /grep-mcp when the user wants a permanent integration.
Prerequisites
A Grep account with either:
- a Descope session (created by
/grep-login), or - a
