serena

Serena is a coding agent toolkit that enhances the capabilities of LLMs by providing IDE-like tools for code retrieval and editing. It allows users to interact with their codebase more efficiently by utilizing functions such as find_symbol, find_referencing_symbols, and insert_after_symbol. These tools enable the coding agent to perform operations without needing to read entire files or perform basic string replacements, thus improving efficiency and code quality, especially in larger projects.

To install Serena, you need to have 'uv' installed on your system. You can follow these steps:

1. Install 'uv' by following the instructions on the uv installation guide.
2. Once 'uv' is installed, run the following command to start the MCP server:

   uvx --from git+https://github.com/oraios/serena serena start-mcp-server
   

3. You can check available options by running:

   uvx --from git+https://github.com/oraios/serena serena start-mcp-server --help
   

Serena is under active development, and users are encouraged to check the changelog for updates. When integrating with various clients, specific configurations may be required, so refer to the client configuration guide for detailed instructions.
