Questions

• What does searchCode do?

  Search code across the user's GitHub repositories with GitHub code-search syntax. It is one of the tools The Cloud MCP server gives every connected AI.

• How do I use searchCode from Claude or ChatGPT?

  Connect your AI to The Cloud at https://mcp.thecloud.so/mcp and sign in once. Then ask Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any AI connected to The Cloud "find code that does X", and it calls searchCode.

• Is searchCode safe to let an AI call?

  searchCode is read-only: it changes nothing. It reaches a system outside The Cloud on your behalf.
