Pre-release

This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.

agentgrep

PyPI version Python versions License: MIT

Read-only search for local AI agent prompts and opt-in conversations across Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini, Antigravity, Grok, Pi, OpenCode, and VS Code.

agentgrep provides a CLI and an MCP server over the same discovery + parsing layer:

  • A terminal CLI (agentgrep) with a Textual TUI for interactive browsing of normalized records.
  • An MCP server (agentgrep-mcp) that exposes search, discovery, catalog, and validation tools to any client that speaks Model Context Protocol.

Pre-alpha. APIs may change.

Install

$ uvx agentgrep --help

Other install methods (pipx, uv add, pip install) and full setup snippets live in the installer widget on agentgrep.org/cli/.

CLI quickstart

Search fast prompt-history stores — ranked by relevance, deduped, with newest as the stable tie-break:

$ agentgrep search "deploy"

Use prompt matches to search selected conversations. Targeted search attempts at most 25 conversations by default and reports approximate coverage:

$ agentgrep search "deploy" --deep

Search prompt records across every readable conversation backend:

$ agentgrep search "deploy" --exhaustive

Search prompts and conversations together in one explicit deep sweep:

$ agentgrep search "deploy" --exhaustive --scope all

Prefer ripgrep-shaped flags? grep mirrors rg / ag against the same records:

$ agentgrep grep "deploy" --scope conversations

Stream JSON so a non-MCP agent or shell pipeline can consume the results:

$ agentgrep find --json

Open the read-only Textual explorer, seeded with a query:

$ agentgrep ui "deploy"

--json and --ndjson make every command pipe-friendly, and any search-shaped subcommand takes --ui to hand the same query to the explorer (e.g. agentgrep grep "deploy" --ui). Agents that don't speak MCP can drive the CLI directly; see https://agentgrep.org/cli/ for the per-subcommand reference.

MCP server: quickest setup

In Claude Code:

$ claude mcp add agentgrep -- uvx --from agentgrep agentgrep-mcp

For Claude Desktop / Codex / Cursor / Gemini snippets, see https://agentgrep.org/mcp/.

Library quickstart

from pathlib import Path

import agentgrep

backends = agentgrep.select_backends()
query = agentgrep.SearchQuery(
    terms=("hello",),
    scope="prompts",
    any_term=False,
    regex=False,
    case_sensitive=False,
    agents=agentgrep.AGENT_CHOICES,
    limit=10,
    effort="prompt",
)
result = agentgrep.run_search_result(Path.home(), query, backends=backends)
for record in result.records:
    print(record.agent, record.title or record.path)
print(result.summary.status.state, result.summary.coverage)
