On 2026-10-11 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 534 ms.

• init

  Call first, with repository:"owner/name" (your checkout's GitHub remote). Binds the session to the project holding that repository and returns it as the active project with its repositories, index health, and a `usage` field (decision…

• locate

  Search/lookup. Pick a mode, or omit with a bare query to AUTO-ROUTE (text, then semantic on empty; response carries answered_by). Modes: - text (replaces grep): literal identifier/string, one row/occurrence. queries:[...] (<=10 terms)…

• relate

  Graph relationship traversal via one kind (real edges, not text). Kinds (1-10 symbols; heritage/chain one): - callers: direct callers. granularity:'file' (default) one row/file, 'site' one row/caller. - dependencies: outgoing…

• source

  Raw file/git access at the indexed commit, for cloud agents with no clone; with a clone prefer your own Read/Grep/git. Ops: - read: content of filePath, whole file or slice startLine..endLine. ifHash (a prior read's hash) returns…

• history

  Indexed commit history. Ops: - commits: recent commits (metadata + file list); <=200/call, default 50. With a clone prefer git log. - commit: one commit by sha with its diff summary (added/modified/deleted/renamed); null if outside the…

• library

  Library catalog lookups. Ops: - packages: list indexed npm packages (specifier, ecosystem, owner/name, indexed-at, sha). Tenant-scoped, no projectId. - version: one package's resolved version for a project (sha, version, dep type…

• ref

  Session-scoped branch / working-tree overlay / project binding. Ops: - use: pin a repository's reads to a branch (latest indexed revision). Branch must be tracked+indexed (open a PR, or add on the dashboard); else "indexing_in_progress"…

• adr

  Architecture decision records: the WHY behind code, anchored to a symbol/file/project. Survive reindexes; find_node attaches a node's decisions. Ops: - record: needs title+decision. Anchor with repository+symbolPath or +filePath; omit…

• diff_impact

  Impact of a diff between two indexed revisions of one repo (base..head): changed files + symbols, union blast radius (layers + cross-repo fallout), affected endpoints, test suites, and co-change reminders. Replaces per-symbol relate…

• estimate_scope

  Pre-flight estimate before graph traversal: coarse count of files a task likely touches and whether it spans layers (common/browser/node/electron-main/...) or repositories. Decides single-file edit vs consulting the graph. Heuristic, from…

• list_projects

  List all projects with indexing summaries. Find a project by name or check which exist.

• list_repositories

  List repositories in a project. Find repository names to scope a query to one repo.

• list_file_symbols

  List symbols in one file (name + kind + line bounds). Step 1 of the two-step read: get line bounds, then pass startLine/endLine to source (op:read) for that slice only (~4-15x fewer tokens). For one symbol + signature, use find_node…

• map

  Token-efficient repo (or subtree) skeleton: directory tree with each file's classes (methods in parens), functions, and HTTP endpoints, from the graph. Orient before drilling in. Scope with "path", cap with "maxDepth", density:"full" adds…

• list_tests_for

  Test suites and cases whose suite name matches a symbol name (case-insensitive substring). Call before adding tests to see existing coverage and mirror its shape.

• quick_lookup

  Fast substring lookup of symbol DEFINITIONS by name: rows {name, kind, filePath, startLine, repositoryName} (displayName only when distinct from name), no ranking, no semantic. Cheaper alternative to locate (mode:symbol) for…

• freshness

  Returns lastIndexedSha, lastIndexedAt, and the current remote HEAD sha for a repository: detect index drift from remote. Reports what Symvanta knows, not local git. currentRemoteSha is null when no GitHub credential is configured. Echoes…

• index_health

  Per-project index health. pendingLibraryVersions: cross-repo specifiers still indexing (an empty result may mean "not indexed yet", not "not in code"); call when a query is surprisingly empty. A row with status "skipped" is never going to…

• find_http_route

  Resolve an HTTP route by path + optional method to endpoint + handler (filePath + line bounds). Use instead of grep/locate for URL paths: follows framework router metadata (Express, Fastify, Hono, Laravel, FastAPI, etc.) and resolves…

• find_node

  Resolve 1-10 symbols to filePath + line bounds + signature. selectors: array keyed by symbol (bare name) / symbolPath / filePath / nodeId; a flat query/name/single field also works. includeSource=true adds the excerpt…

• ask_codebase

  Synthesis Q&A for behavior/architecture questions: answer + citations in one call. HEAVY (~2-4 s, ~3-5 k tokens): prefer context, find_node, or locate when they suffice. scope:"repo" (default) = ONE repo; scope:"all" = cross-repo…

• add_repository

  Attach a GitHub repository to a project (owner + repo_name; clone URL derived; projectId defaults to the bound / default project). Public repos need nothing else. Private repos need installation_id from list_installations (a GitHub App…

• create_project

  Create a project in the workspace (name; slug derived and made unique). Needs mcp:admin; plan project caps apply (plan_limit_exceeded). Then attach repositories with add_repository { projectId, owner, repo_name } and bind the session with…

• list_installations

  GitHub App installations connected to this workspace and the repositories each can reach (private included). Use before add_repository for a private repository: pass the installation's id as installation_id. pat_configured says whether a…

• reindex_repository

  Dispatch a reindex job for an already-attached repository (repositoryId from list_repositories / add_repository). Optional commit_sha pin. force:true re-applies the current parser even when unchanged at HEAD: it bypasses the per-file…

• context

  First-touch task orientation. Pass a natural-language task; returns the top 5 relevant files with their symbols and best-matching snippets in one call (~1-1.5k tokens, ~500 ms, no LLM). Replaces chaining locate (text) + locate (semantic)…

• bundle

  Run up to 10 independent tool calls in parallel in one round-trip. Calls share the bundle-level project/repository scope unless a call sets its own args.repository, which scopes that call alone. Supported: locate (args.mode…
