#code-navigation

MCP Server for Visual Studio bridges your IDE with AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and Cline. Unlike file-based tools, this extension provides what AI agents CAN'T do alone: • IntelliSense & semantic code understanding (powered by Roslyn) • Symbol search - definitions, usages, inheritance hierarchies • Solution/project navigation and document outlines • Build execution with clean, structured error output • Async test execution with progress tracking • Solution-wide refactoring (rename symbols across all files) 20 tools designed for AI consumption with token-efficient output. Windows only. Supports VS 2022 (17.13+) and VS 2026.

Structural codebase MCP server that exposes symbol-level queries as tools, allowing Claude Code to navigate large codebases without reading entire files. Provides 50+ tools covering dependency graphs, git diffs, checkpoint/rollback, dead code detection, and complexity analysis, with reported 87% token reduction on large projects.

GraphPilot gives coding agents persistent structural knowledge of a codebase. It parses TypeScript/JavaScript with tree-sitter into a graph of symbols and call edges, then exposes that graph over MCP so the agent can recall definitions, find callers, and trace change impact without re-reading files every conversation. Local-first: no network, no telemetry, no code ever leaves your machine. Four tools — gp_index, gp_recall, gp_callers, gp_impact.
