MCP server to read, inspect and troubleshoot codebase symbols

Symbols MCP

Read, inspect and navigate through codebase symbols by connecting to Language Servers.

NPM Version

Introduction

By connecting to a Language Server of choice this MCP server makes it easy and efficient for coding agents to explore and navigate the codebase and its dependencies. The server offers a minimal set of tools, resources and skills intended to be simple to use and light on the model's context.

Tools

  • outline: returns an outline of code symbols in a file, optionally with a small code snippet
  • inspect: returns docs, declaration and implementation locations for a symbol, including third-party ones
  • search: returns matching symbols across the codebase
  • references: finds all references of a symbol across the codebase
  • call_hierarchy: returns incoming and outgoing call relationships for a callable symbol
  • rename: renames all references of a symbol across the codebase
  • diagnostics: returns active diagnostics in a given file
  • completion: returns contextual completions at a given location
  • reload: reloads the effective config and reapplies it to currently running language servers

Resources

  • language-servers://profiles: returns the configured language servers along with their state.
  • language-servers://profiles/{name}: returns a more detailed view of one language server.
  • language-servers://profiles/{name}/logs: returns the Language Server logs for troubleshooting.

Skills

  • install-language-server: installs, configures, validates, or troubleshoots a language-server profile for the current workspace.
  • language-server-navigation: guides symbol inspection, references, rename, diagnostics, and search through Language Server tools before falling back to text search.

Installation

Codex

codex plugin marketplace add p1va/symbols
codex plugin add symbols@symbols

Then ask Codex:

Please install and configure the language servers relevant to this codebase

Antigravity

agy plugin install https://github.com/p1va/symbols.git

Then ask Antigravity:

Install and configure the language servers relevant to this codebase.

Manual Installation

For manual configuration and language servers examples see here.

Development

  • pnpm lint outputs the lint violations
  • pnpm lint:fix attempts to fix lint violations
  • pnpm format formats the codebase
  • pnpm format:check checks formatting without changing files
  • pnpm dev starts in development mode
  • pnpm build runs the linter and build
  • pnpm start starts the built artifacts
  • pnpm test:unit runs the unit tests
  • pnpm test:integration:{language id} runs the integration tests for a given language

Release

  • pnpm version patch to synchronize generated assets, bump the version, and create a single commit and tag. Use minor or major when appropriate.
  • git push --follow-tags to push the commit and tag.

The version lifecycle checks formatting, mirrors .agents/skills/ into the Antigravity and Codex distributions, and updates the versioned Codex plugin manifest before the commit and tag are created.
