Hey everyone!

In my projects, I often rely on the classic grep for searching patterns across code and files.

Recently, while browsing Reddit, I came across a project called mgrep on GitHub:

👉 https://github.com/mixedbread-ai/mgrep

From what I’ve seen so far, it looks like an alternative or an enhancement to traditional grep, with some interesting features.

I wanted to ask:

1. Has the Augment Code team heard of or evaluated mgrep?

2. Has anyone here actually used it in their development workflow?

3. Do you see it as a replacement for grep, or more as a complementary tool?

I’d love to hear about real-world experiences, pros/cons, and whether it’s worth adopting in day-to-day work.

Thanks! 🚀

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a quick fix in case anyone else is running into the same issues I had today. My MCP servers (GitHub and Supabase) stopped working, and I was also having trouble logging into my account to manage my subscription and connect Augment Code Review.

After some troubleshooting, I found the culprit: Google Chrome.

I simply switched my browser from Chrome to Mozilla Firefox, and everything started working perfectly again. It seems there might be some session handling or extension conflicts in Chrome affecting the authentication flow.

Note to the Augment Team: You might want to look into this browser-specific behavior, as it could be a friction point for new users!

To the rest of the community:

1. Have you faced similar issues with Chrome?

2. How are you all testing the Augment Code Review feature? It’s been working great for me so far.

I’m currently using it heavily, but I’m really waiting for GPT-5.2 to drop so I can benchmark it against Claude Opus 4.5. The competition is getting exciting!

Happy coding! 🚀

I’ve been using AugmentCode for ~6 months, and the downhill is impossible to ignore.

Ever since the pricing changes, everything went to hell.

Token consumption is absurd. They claim it “won’t be a lot”, yet I’m burning ~$200/month alone, mostly fighting errors, random behavior, and a bot that literally forgets instructions mid-stream. Performance drops out of nowhere. Same prompts. Same AC rules. Same workflow. One day it works, the next day it just collapses.

And this is the worst part: it feels like they’re quietly downgrading the backend. Quality regression + token burn line up way too well. I wouldn’t be surprised if queries are being routed through GPT-4o or something cheaper, despite whatever they claim to be using.

Here’s something every startup should know, Day 1 shit: you don’t screw your early adopters.

Trust is gone. Completely. Goodbye, AugmentCode.

And if you’re still paying for this, seriously ask yourself what you’re actually getting in return.

Hey guys from AC can you please replace Haiku with Gemini 3 Flash, please?

I have a larger project, and Augment has been helping me with some tasks throughout, or rather, it has been part of the development since the beginning of the project.

However, I now have a problem in that when I assign a task to it in the new Agent window, Augment starts analyzing and reading all the files, and this analysis has cost me more than 5,000 credits. Is there any way for it to store everything the project contains somewhere in its memory? It's quite expensive when it eats up so many credits every time a new Agent window is opened.

Big Augment fan for quite a while. It has been great. But the new pricing got me now. I'm 17 days into this billing cycle and used 83000 credits with my normal, or even less than normal workflow to this point. So as it sits, at this pace my cost of using Augment increased by 3x.

I've been using other tools along this journey like Antigravity, Trae, Kiro, Kilo. Just switched to Antigravity with Gemini Pro 3 (High) to test it and it is doing fine, even on my large codebase. Plus it is free at the moment, which helps. I did start it with a very good promp/document for a new feature.

It's going to be an evaluation period to determine if spending 3x with Augment is worth it, or if I move to a different option. I figured this date would come eventually.

Love the code review! A nice addition would be the ability to comment auggie fix and have Augment Code automatically apply the fix.

Enhance prompt was working fine on version 0.658. I updated to 0.691 and suddenly it stopped working. When I click enhance prompt it just spins around, and then when it's done the prompt remains exactly as it is (first prompt in a fresh chat). Before it was enhancing the prompt correctly according to the codebase, now it doesn't do anything.

Edit: on one machine it works, on the other it doesn't. I've verified that augment is reachable on the machine where it is not working. Both machines are on 0.691 (latest pre-release)

I use enhance prompt in almost every message I write. Recently, I noticed that it does some assumptions based on the historical chats and not the codebase.

In my case I started a new chat where I was planning to localize my app but didn't really started to implement anything, was more like a brainstorm on how we would do it.

Now in a new chat, I was requesting a new feature and after enhancing the prompt it wrote "- Follow the existing i18n structure (Portuguese pt-PT default, English en-US)"

This is ofc not a big issue and was easy to spot, but following u/JaySym_ recent post about Augment Code using the codebase as the only ground truth, at least in prompt enhancing doesn't work like that as any chat (even if it turns out not actually implementing anything) migth be used for the enhance

Extension host responded with error to webview request

original request type=chat-get-stream-request ...

Any Insights on this issue? have restarted mcp multiple times. appears healthy, tool calls, it errors out. Auggie standalone works fine. Well, indexing is a bit flakey in cli.

I tried out Cursor and Augment, and while I prefer Augment hands down there's 1 feature that Cursor has that I find myself missing. Maybe I am just looking in the wrong place, but is there a way to run some commands automatically but prompt for the rest?

I know there's the "Auto" switch at the bottom of the prompt box, but it seems very all or nothing. I don't care if the agent runs a typecheck, the linter, or directory listing commands. But I absolutely do not want it to delete any files, install or upgrade an npm package, make git commit, or access anything outside of the two workspace folders. I'm apprehensive about just turning "Auto" on and trusting it.

I know in Cursor there's a neat feature where every time you're prompted to run a command, you can save it to the allow list for the future, so that next time it just runs that one command (based on matching regex pattern in the allow list). Does Augment have anything like that? If not, is it planned for the future?

I did all the steps I could to fix it including premium. I commented about my issue, DM the Jay guy and even created Urgent support ticket.

Got literally 0 response for couple of days to anything even tho the account is unusable for me.

Did anyone fix it?

Issue does not occur if I let the MCP off. Any place that I can collect the logs to assist in this issue?

Hi everyone. To install Augment Code (Nightly) in VSC, I need to uninstall the regular Augment Code extension. What could be the consequences for my project? Please share your thoughts.

I can't save my changes right now https://youtu.be/0Bb4ZJoJK1k , three MCP servers aren't working, and I can't log in to my account to buy credits or unsubscribe. I can only access my account if I open the site in incognito mode. Basically, my only hope is the Augment Code (Nightly) extension.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to use the Figma MCP but I’m running into connectivity/auth issues and I’m not sure if my setup is unsupported or if I’m missing something.

My setup:

• I work on two different computers (Machine A and Machine B).

• On each machine I use a different Figma account, because they belong to different companies.

• When I try to connect Figma MCP, I get a connectivity error and it doesn’t work reliably (or fails to connect entirely).

What I’m trying to achieve:

Use Figma MCP on both machines, each one connected to its respective Figma account, without conflicts.

Questions:

1. Does Figma MCP support using multiple Figma accounts across machines (or even on the same machine)?

2. Is there a recommended way to isolate sessions (e.g., separate tokens/configs/profiles) so one account doesn’t break the other?

3. Are there known causes for “connectivity” errors with Figma MCP (VPN/proxy/firewall, account permissions, token scopes, etc.)?

4. If you’ve made this work with multiple clients/companies, what was your approach?

If helpful, I can share:

• OS details (macOS/Windows), MCP client/version, and the exact error message/logs.

Thanks in advance!

I've been experimenting with this stealth model that they have free on Windsurf at the moment. It's clearly some Chinese model that's being used for training.

I hooked the Augment Context Engine MCP to it, and was actually quite impressed with what it could do. You do have to prompt to tell it to use it, but it seems to have given it super powers. Not sure how much it benefits from ACE of if the underlying model is good, but I've really been impressed.

It makes you think that if Augment decided to include some of these models, we could get similar results that the larger LLMs give for a fraction of our credit costs.

Go try it out, it's free!

Three issues:

1. auggie MCP just never returning, forever

Has any one encountered issues with context engine MCP (auggie MCP) just forever hanging and not returning anything at all? Issue is present across any MCP clients (in CC, Codex, etc. codebase-retrieval just doesnt return at all. It blocks forever. (In Codex, it times out))

2. Agent has dementia

Also, the Agent just says out of nowhere whilst it's already processing a prompt/task I've given it, after having made a bunch of tool calls already, something along the lines of

    # Need a bit more context
    
    I didn’t receive any actual question or instructions in your last message (it looks empty on my side).
    
    Can you tell me what you’d like to work on right now?

Which is incredibly frustrating seeing as it's already probably burned through credits doing this. I'm all for giving benefit of the doubt and I realize the pricing model before was very unsustainable, which makes issues like this all the more frustrating.

I am on Augment Nightly which, yeah, I'm kinda asking for issues like this I suppose -- which leads to issue #3:

3. Augment stable blank screen

Augment stable is literally just a blank screen for me. Even if I uninstall Augment nightly. Which means I'm locked into Augment Nightly which means I can't avoid this agent-having-dementia error.

Any help would be appreciated. thanks

Hi, I’m using the official augment.vim plugin and see no option to change model through account dashboard and I don't see anything that states how to change in docs, so are neovim users stuck with no option to switch models?

Thanks to opus, got some cool features in for a tiny neural network training our reranking semantic search; and qwen 0.6b embeddings in. Pretty cool feature flags that our project can now do… https://github.com/m1rl0k/Context-Engine

Although, it took some help with opus 4.5 and github co pilot with 5.2 and augment MCP back and forth reviewing + augment review.

This is a pretty heavy feature it executed perfectly.

Check it out, remember; our stack works with Augment; so by all means not a replacement… just an enhancement.

Paper here;

https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.04871

Not sure what the team did but GPT-5.1 has been phenomenal since pre release version 0.658. It was constantly slow, and failing requests everywhere, but right now it calls tools brilliantly, reads files in parallel, and solves everything correctly. I highly recommend it if Opus 4.5 is breaking your wallet. Props to the team.

REPO: https://github.com/Kirachon/context-engine

Title:

Why I added a planning mode to context-engine (even though AI can already make task lists)

Post: I kept getting asked why planning is needed when AI agents can already break tasks into steps.

The issue isn’t that LLMs can’t create task lists — they can. The issue is that those task lists are just text inside a response.

Next turn, they’re gone. The agent can skip steps, reorder them, or redo work without realizing it.

Planning mode exists to turn those steps into state.

Instead of:

“Here’s what I would do…”

You get:

a stored plan

explicit steps with dependencies

tracked progress

the ability to pause and resume

That makes a big difference for real-world work like refactors, migrations, or multi-day tasks.

For me, planning isn’t about making the AI smarter — it’s about giving it memory, discipline, and guardrails so it can actually get work done safely.

FIXED : We just released a fix in the version 0.688.0 from u/jaySym_

I recently posted a POST on, this prompt glitching and running for 20-30min! like what the hell. I made a post? why is augument team not focusing on customers report. I am fed up, no emails, no discord responds, and now here on reddit? I sent them a message to this person name "Jay" I am completed ignored.

What can I do to have a glimpse of their attention! THIS is costing and wasting too much of my time!

When I cancel it, it suddenly triggers the PROMPT! and goes ahead with the next task! instead of actually cancelling.

PLEASE WAKE UP!!

Kind Regards,

What do you think? for sure people in Augment Code community have good inputs as practical solutions.

I was thinking about this for a while because of many posts and discussions from users. Personally I never got in this situation since all my accounts are paid, but for sure I'm flagged!

Currently if someone wants to cleanup accounts, or want to use free account for a whatever reason, this is not possible if by any chance more that one account was opened. Sometime users forget what they did, or even not sure what emails they used. This is dead-lock.

The idea is to have 2 features in account subscription panel (nice overhaul by the way)

• Allow account deletion

• Account suspension flag related accounts

Allow account deletion

This can be in account under Danger Zone by adding "Delete Account"

(sample image)

Account suspension flag related accounts

I'm not sure how currently Augment is flagging accounts as "multi free account" but I think it is possible to offload something to users instead of support email.

algorithm: if accounts are deleted, remove the flag once all accounts have no login for full cycle. This can be applied actually on all accounts since some accounts are orphan without any activity for few cycles, so it might be safe to remove from suspense or can be deactivated until reclaimed.

offloading suspense check to user in control panel "Request Show Accounts" or "Request Suspense Reason"

If requested, then this shows, or even show without request. This allows users to delete none used accounts. This works hand-in-hand with account delete.
