Custom context refers to your team’s coding standards that Greptile checks during reviews. Rules like “use async/await instead of promises” or “API endpoints must validate input.” When code doesn’t follow a pattern, Greptile comments on the PR. With MCP, you can view, search, and create patterns from your IDE.
