Tools

• tgrep_search: Fast regex search using the trigram index.
• tgrep_index: Build or rebuild the trigram index for a directory.
• tgrep_status: Check the status of the indexing server.
• tgrep_count_files: Fast file walker to count text files in a directory.
• tgrep_serve: Start the persistent search server for a directory (enables auto-indexing and fast queries).

      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/home/sagar/i_code_i_do/tgrep_mcp/build/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

If you make changes to the source:

npm run build
