  curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vaayne/mcphub/main/scripts/install.sh | sh
  

Usage

List tools: mh -u https://mcp.grep.app -t http list Get tool details: mh -u https://mcp.grep.app -t http inspect searchGitHub Invoke tool: mh -u https://mcp.grep.app -t http invoke searchGitHub '{"query": "pattern"}'

• Use actual code that would appear in files, not descriptions

Tools

Search Tips

Good queries (literal code patterns):

• useState(
• import React from
• async function
• (?s)try {.*await

Bad queries (keywords - won't work well):

• react state management
• how to use hooks

Examples

# Find useState usage patterns
mh -u https://mcp.grep.app -t http invoke searchGitHub '{"query": "useState("}'

# Find async/await patterns
mh -u https://mcp.grep.app -t http invoke searchGitHub '{"query": "async function fetch"}'

# Find import patterns
mh -u https://mcp.grep.app -t http invoke searchGitHub '{"query": "from \"openai\""}'
