Agentgrep

agentgrep

[](https://pypi.org/project/agentgrep/) [](https://pypi.org/project/agentgrep/) [](LICENSE)

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 your prompts across every configured agent — ranked, deduped, newest first:

$ agentgrep search "deploy"

Search prompts and conversations together in one sweep:

$ agentgrep search "deploy" --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 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 .

Library quickstart

from pathlib import Path

import agentgrep

backends = agentgrep.select_backends()
query = agentgrep.SearchQuery(
    terms=("hello",),
    scope="all",
    any_term=False,
    regex=False,
    case_sensitive=False,
    agents=agentgrep.AGENT_CHOICES,
    limit=10,
)
for record in agentgrep.run_search_query(Path.home(), query, backends=backends):
    print(record.agent, record.title or record.path)
