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.
