Use Greptile MCP tools to fetch unaddressed comments and apply fixes directly from your IDE.
Prerequisite: Configure MCP in your IDE before following these workflows.

Your First Auto-Fix

1

Fetch unaddressed comments

Ask your AI assistant:
List unaddressed Greptile comments for PR #5 in owner/repo
The assistant calls list_merge_request_comments with addressed: false.
Unaddressed PR comments
2

Review the response

You’ll see comments with their details including file path, issue type, and whether a fix is available.
3

Apply fixes

For comments with hasSuggestion: true:
Apply the suggested fix for the API token issue
The assistant applies the suggestedCode to your file.
Code changes for review
4

Accept changes

Review the changes, then click Keep All to apply them to your codebase.
5

Commit changes

After applying fixes, commit your changes. Greptile automatically marks comments as addressed when the file is modified.

​
Understanding Comment Fields

When you fetch comments, each one includes these key fields:
FieldTypeDescription
isGreptileCommentbooleantrue if from Greptile
addressedbooleantrue if resolved by subsequent commit
hasSuggestionbooleantrue if includes a code fix
suggestedCodestringThe actual fix (when hasSuggestion is true)

linkedMemoryobjectCustom context that triggered this comment

How Comments Get “Addressed”

A comment becomes addressed when there’s a commit after the comment that modifies the relevant file: 
1. Greptile comments on src/auth.ts
2. Developer pushes commit touching src/auth.ts  
3. Comment marked as addressed: true
Check progress via reviewAnalysis.reviewCompleteness (e.g., “2/5 Greptile comments addressed”).
