Bring Codebase Intelligence
to AutoGen
Learn how to connect Greptile to AutoGen and start using 11 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the Greptile MCP Server?
Connect your Greptile account to any AI agent and unlock AI-powered codebase understanding through natural conversation.
What you can do
- AI Codebase Q&A — Ask natural language questions about one or more repositories and receive AI-generated answers with code references
- Contextual Follow-ups — Continue conversations with session context for multi-turn codebase exploration
- Semantic Code Search — Search across indexed repositories to find relevant files, functions, and code patterns
- File-Specific Search — Target searches within a specific file path for precise results
- Repository Indexing — Submit GitHub or GitLab repositories for indexing, check progress, and trigger re-indexing
- Repository Management — List all indexed repos, inspect file metadata, and remove outdated indexes
- Usage Monitoring — Track API consumption and rate limits
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Greptile API Key from the developer dashboard
3. Start querying your codebase from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Developers — understand unfamiliar codebases, find implementations, and navigate large repositories through conversation
- Code Reviewers — search for related patterns, understand code context, and trace dependencies
- Engineering Managers — get quick answers about architecture decisions, coding patterns, and technical debt

Why AutoGen?
AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use Greptile tools. Connect 11 tools through Vinkius and assign role-based access. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.

Multi-agent conversations: multiple AutoGen agents discuss, delegate, and collaboratively use Greptile tools to solve complex tasks
- —
Role-based architecture lets you assign Greptile tool access to specific agents. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates
- —
Human-in-the-loop support: agents can pause for human approval before executing sensitive Greptile tool calls
- —
Code execution sandbox: AutoGen agents can write and run code that processes Greptile tool responses in an isolated environment
Greptile in AutoGen
Greptile and 3,400+ other MCP servers. One platform. One governance layer.
Teams that connect Greptile to AutoGen through Vinkius don't need to source, host, or maintain individual MCP servers. Every tool call runs inside a hardened runtime with credential isolation, DLP, and a signed audit chain.

Why teams choose Vinkius for Greptile in AutoGen
The Greptile MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 11 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in AutoGen only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

How Vinkius secures
Greptile for AutoGen
Every tool call from AutoGen to the Greptile MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I ask natural language questions about my codebase?
Yes! The query_codebase tool sends a natural language question along with repository references and returns AI-generated answers with specific code references (file paths and line numbers). For follow-up questions, use query_with_context with the session ID from the previous response to maintain conversation continuity.
Do I need to index my repository before querying it?
Yes. Use index_repository with the remote host (github or gitlab), repository path (owner/repo), and branch name. Check indexing progress with get_repository_status. Once indexed, you can query and search the repository. Use reindex_repository to refresh the index after significant code changes.
Can I search for specific code patterns across my repositories?
Yes. The search_codebase tool performs semantic search across your indexed repositories to find relevant files and functions. For targeted results, use search_by_filepath to narrow the search to a specific file path. Use get_file_info to retrieve indexed metadata for any file.
How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Greptile tools during their conversation turns.
Can different agents have different MCP tool access?
Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
Does AutoGen support human approval for tool calls?
Yes. Configure human-in-the-loop mode so agents pause and request approval before executing sensitive MCP tool calls.
