Microsoft.Extensions.AI Integration

Cross-SDK comparison

See the centralized MEAI documentation for feature matrices and comparisons across all tryAGI SDKs.

The Greptile SDK provides AIFunction tool wrappers compatible with Microsoft.Extensions.AI. These tools can be used with any IChatClient to give AI models codebase intelligence with natural language Q&A, code search, and repository indexing.

Available Tools

Tool	Description
AsQueryCodebaseTool()	Ask natural language questions about a codebase and get AI-powered answers with source code references
AsSearchCodebaseTool()	Search a codebase for relevant code files, functions, and snippets without an AI explanation
AsIndexRepositoryTool()	Submit a repository for indexing (required before querying/searching)
AsGetRepositoryStatusTool()	Check the indexing status of a repository

Usage Example

using Greptile;
using Microsoft.Extensions.AI;

// Create Greptile client
var greptileClient = new GreptileClient(apiKey);
greptileClient.WithGitHubToken(githubToken);

// Create tools
var tools = new[]
{
    greptileClient.AsQueryCodebaseTool(),
    greptileClient.AsSearchCodebaseTool(),
    greptileClient.AsIndexRepositoryTool(),
    greptileClient.AsGetRepositoryStatusTool(),
};

// Use with any IChatClient that supports tool calling
var chatClient = ...; // Your IChatClient implementation
var response = await chatClient.GetResponseAsync(
    "What does the greptileai/examples repository do?",
    new ChatOptions { Tools = tools });

Authentication

The Greptile API requires two tokens:

1. Greptile API Key (required): Obtain from app.greptile.com
2. GitHub/GitLab Token (optional): Personal access token for private repository access

var client = new GreptileClient(greptileApiKey);
client.WithGitHubToken(githubToken); // Optional

Repository Format

Tools that accept repositories use a comma-separated format: remote:branch:owner/repo

Examples: - github:main:owner/repo - gitlab:develop:org/project - github:main:owner/repo1,github:main:owner/repo2 (multiple repos)
