# Grep a million GitHub repositories via MCP

**[Vercel](https://daily.dev/sources/vercel)** · 4 min read · 77 upvotes · 2 comments

## Summary

Grep now supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing AI agents to search over a million public GitHub repositories through a standardized interface. The MCP server can be easily integrated with AI clients like Cursor and Claude, enabling agents to query code patterns and retrieve relevant snippets in real-time. Vercel built the MCP server quickly using their mcp-handler package, which simplifies the process of exposing existing APIs to AI clients.

> This is really nice, but i don't think there's any restriction from people putting "malicious" code on github. What are the odds that it returns some of these?
