Is it possible that you are advertising mantic as an MCP tool without it actually being one? Or at least please document how to use it as such.

Mantic is absolutely an MCP server! The installation is documented right at the top of the README with one-click install buttons:

For Cursor:

Click the "Install in Cursor" badge at the top of the README, or Use this deep link: https://cursor.com/en-US/install-mcp?name=mantic&config=eyJ0...

For VS Code:

Click the "Install in VS Code" badge, or Use this deep link: https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=mantic&config=%...

Manual Installation: Add this to your MCP settings (e.g., ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

json { "mcpServers": { "mantic": { "type": "stdio", "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mantic.sh@latest", "server"] } } }

Once installed, Claude Desktop (or any MCP client) can call the search_codebase tool to find relevant files before making code changes.

The MCP server implementation is in src/mcp-server.ts

if you want to see the code.
