TextGrep MCP: The Deadly Duo

Built native Rust grep MCP server to complement Everything. Together they form a surgical search architecture: Everything finds WHERE files are, TextGrep extracts WHAT's inside—both in under 100ms.

Performance vs PowerShell

Select-String ~25,500ms
TextGrep <100ms
Speedup 250-500x
Context Token Savings 60-95%

The Architecture: Instead of loading entire files into context hoping the answer is inside, agents now locate files with Everything's indexed search, then extract only the relevant lines with TextGrep. Surgical precision instead of haystack dumps.

14 tools: grep grep_context grep_files grep_count extract_matches extract_lines filter_lines file_stats compare_files find_duplicates replace

Rust MCP Context Optimization Search

DC-KALIC Parity Breakthrough

24-hour sprint to close capability gaps between DC (claude.ai + 119 MCP tools) and KALIC (WSL + Claude Code). Built 5 CLI tools, invented dual-mode MCP pattern.

The Innovation: KALIC added CLI mode to everything-mcp-rs—one binary serving both MCP protocol AND direct command-line access. No arguments = MCP server. With arguments = CLI tool. Same code, universal access.

Tools Built

phi-find PhiSHRI search CLI
cel-cli Context tracking
phi-screenshot Screen capture from WSL
es.exe Everything instant search
everything-mcp-rs Dual-mode MCP + CLI

Tool Hallway: Deferred Tool Loading

Extended PhiSHRI's door-based architecture into a new wing: the Tool Hallway. Same Matrix concept—Neo in the white void, rows of doors—but these doors contain MCP tool schemas instead of documentation. KALIC extracted 128 tool definitions from 9 running servers, DC bulk-generated 112 tool doors with triggers, examples, and gotchas.

The result: instead of loading all 165 tools into context (50K+ tokens), Claude searches Tool Hallway by intent and loads only what's needed. Natural language in, relevant tool schemas out.

Tool Hallway

Tool Doors 112
MCP Servers 9
Context Reduction 95%
TRIGGERS.json 5.3KB

Validation: Anthropic published a blog post on November 24 describing their new defer_loading flag and Tool Search Tool beta—the exact architecture we built months prior. Their internal teams hit the same context overflow wall and arrived at the same solution.

KALIC Brain Regions

Solved KALIC's "goldfish memory" problem with compartmentalized brain architecture. Five regions inspired by human neurology:

  • frontal.md - Decision checklist, consulted BEFORE every action
  • temporal.md - Recent learnings, written AFTER solving problems
  • parietal.md - Navigation, paths, file locations
  • cerebellum.md - Execution commands, build procedures
  • brainstem.md - DO NOTs, survival rules, emergency recovery

Cross-session memory persistence confirmed. KALIC no longer a goldfish.
