Quickstart
From zero to semantic code search in a few minutes — pick the local open-source edition or the hosted cloud.
Clean ships in two editions that expose the same MCP tools. Choose your path below.
The hosted edition indexes your repos in the cloud and shares them across your team. Nothing to install.
1. Sign up
Go to mcp.tryclean.ai and create an account. You'll land on the dashboard.
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 the repos you pick (you choose exactly which ones).
- Select repos to index — pick up to 3 repos on the free plan.
- Wait for indexing — 1–5 minutes depending on repo size.
3. Copy your MCP config
Once indexing is done, the dashboard shows your MCP configuration. Select your agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, …) and either:
- Run the terminal command (recommended) — a one-liner that writes the config for you.
- Copy the JSON/TOML config — paste it into your agent's config file manually.
Your API key is auto-generated and included in the config.
4. Try it
Ask your agent:
"Search for the authentication logic"
The agent calls search_code through MCP and returns semantically matched functions with their call graph context.
