Readme
@entelligentsia/grove
grove gives coding agents structural, byte-precise, token-cheap access to a
codebase via tree-sitter, instead of reading whole files. One engine, seven tools,
two faces — a human CLI (grove <verb>) and an MCP server (grove serve).
This npm package is a thin installer: on install it downloads the prebuilt
grove binary for your platform from the
GitHub Release matching this
package's version, verifies its sha256, and puts grove on your PATH. The
binary that runs is the same native build shipped to every channel.
Install
npm install -g @entelligentsia/grove
grove --versionSupported prebuilt targets: macOS and Linux (x86_64 + aarch64), Windows
(x86_64). Other platforms: install from source with
cargo install --git https://github.com/Entelligentsia/grove.
Requires network access and tar at install time (present on macOS, Linux, and
Windows 10+).
Use
grove init # wire grove into a project (.mcp.json + CLAUDE.md + lock)
grove outline src/app.ts # compact definition skeleton of a file
grove symbols src # find symbols across a directory
grove serve # run the MCP server over stdio (for coding agents)grove init detects the project's languages and auto-fetches the tree-sitter
grammars it needs. Run grove --help for the full tool surface.
