- Find code across large codebases quickly
- Edit files programmatically
## Usage
### Search for code patterns
```bash
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/mcp/morph_search.py \
--search "authentication" --path "."
```
### Search with regex
```bash
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/mcp/morph_search.py \
--search "def.*login" --path "./src"
```
### Edit a file
```bash
uv run python -m runtime.harness scripts/mcp/morph_search.py \
--edit "/path/to/file.py" --content "new content"
```
