mgrep – semantically grep everything

mgrep is a calm, CLI-native way to semantically grep everything, like code, images, pdfs and more.

mgrep is powered by Mixedbread Search, a full-featured search solution. It combines state-of-the-art semantic retrieval models with context-aware parsing and optimized inference methods to provide you with a natural language companion to grep.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

• Natural-language search that feels as immediate as grep.
• Semantic, multilingual & multimodal.
• Smooth background indexing via mgrep watch, designed to detect and keep up-to-date everything that matters inside any git repository.
• Friendly device-login flow and first-class coding agent integrations.
• Built for agents and humans alike, and designed to be a helpful tool, not a restrictive harness: quiet output, thoughtful defaults, and escape hatches everywhere.
• Reduces the token usage of your agent by 2x while maintaining superior performance
