Give your coding agent LSP-backed symbol retrieval with Serena instead of letting it grep whole files
Serena is an MCP toolkit that wraps a Language Server (LSP) so agents explore code at the symbol level — find references, callers, and definitions — and edit by symbol rather than reading entire files and string-matching, which is the real bottleneck in large codebases. Add it as an MCP server to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Gemini CLI and the agent navigates relational structure (who calls what) without bloating context with full-file reads. With ~25k stars and trending this week, it's the most concrete fix for agents that are smart enough to reason but blind at retrieval.
