Quickstart
From zero to semantic code search in 5 minutes.
Overview
Here's the full pipeline:
- Sign up at tryclean.ai
- Connect your GitHub repos through the dashboard
- Wait for indexing (1-5 minutes per repo)
- Copy your MCP config and paste it into your agent
- Start chatting. Your agent can now search your codebase semantically.
Step 1: Sign up
Go to tryclean.ai and create an account. You'll land on the dashboard.
Step 2: Connect GitHub and select repos
From the dashboard, click Get Started to open the onboarding flow:
- Install the GitHub App: grants Clean read-only access to your repos (you choose exactly which ones)
- Select repos to index: pick up to 3 repos on the free plan
- Wait for indexing: takes 1-5 minutes depending on repo size
Step 3: Copy your MCP config
Once indexing is done, the dashboard shows your MCP configuration. Select your agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, etc.) and either:
- Run the terminal command (recommended): one-liner that writes the config for you
- Copy the JSON/TOML config: paste it manually into your agent's config file
Your API key is auto-generated and included in the config.
Step 4: Try it
Ask your agent:
"Search for the authentication logic"
The agent will call search_code through MCP and return semantically matched functions with their full call graph context.
