glyph

The glyph MCP server allows you to effectively map your codebase by generating symbol outlines, providing a clear view of your project's structure. By using glyph, you can enhance code navigation and improve understanding of complex codebases, making it an invaluable tool for developers looking to streamline their workflow. With its ability to outline symbols, glyph helps you maintain organization and clarity in your development projects.

Once connected to the glyph server, you can issue commands to retrieve structured outlines of symbols within your codebase. While specific tools are currently undocumented, you can typically use queries to request symbol information, such as their definitions, references, and relationships. This can help you identify how different parts of your code interact, enabling more efficient debugging and development processes.

Prerequisites

Before installing glyph, ensure you have Node.js installed on your machine. You can download and install it from nodejs.org.

Option A: Quick Start with npx

If you prefer a quick setup without global installation, you can use npx:

npx -y glyph

Option B: Global Install Alternative

To install glyph globally, use the following command:

npm install -g glyph

When configuring glyph, be aware of any environment variables that may need to be set for optimal performance, such as paths to your codebase or specific settings for symbol outlines. Additionally, keep an eye on compatibility with different Node.js versions, as this may affect the server's functionality. If you encounter issues, refer to the repository's issue tracker for common troubleshooting steps.
