What can an agent do with this server?

This MCP server lets coding agents read, search and navigate a codebase within a token budget. Search hits come back under their enclosing function or class, large files come back as skeletons instead of blind cuts, trace returns callers, callees, references and implementations in one call, and re-reads return only what changed. It's read-only by construction, with outlines for 18 languages (tree-sitter) plus Markdown, JSON, YAML and TOML.
