Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server that lets an assistant search public GitHub repositories and read their source code, directory trees and docs.

What you can do
  • Search public GitHub repositories by name, description or topic keywords
  • View a repository's basic information and directory structure, including its docs repo when one exists
  • List the directory tree of a chosen path with adjustable depth and traversal limits
  • Read the raw source code of specific files in a known repository
  • Run fast git grep searches inside a repository, with regex or substring matching
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs to look at real-world code or documentation from public GitHub projects — for example to study an API, compare implementations, or find usage examples — without cloning repositories locally.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no local runtime, account, API key or environment variables are declared. The README gives the endpoint path and a JSON client configuration.
Before you install
Only public GitHub repositories are covered. Queries and repository requests go to a third-party hosted service, so avoid sending private or sensitive information in searches. No authentication is declared, so access may be rate-limited or subject to the provider's terms.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Gread in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.NitroRCr%2Fgread/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gread": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.gread.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

README

Gread

A skill that gives your agent access to the source code of all public github repos.

  • Plug and Play: Compatible with all popular coding agents and MCP clients, ready to use out of the box
  • Skill and MCP: Both Skill and MCP are provided, connect with either option
  • Docs Integration: Automatically recognizes docs repo and provides them along with the main repo when accessed

Quick Start

We offer two integration methods, choose either one:

  • Skill: Suitable for coding agents like OpenCode, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, etc.
  • MCP: Suitable for AI chat apps and other MCP clients

Skill

Run the following command to install:

bash
npx skills add https://github.com/NitroRCr/gread --skill gread
