Ask for the symbol, not the file. Token-efficient MCP server giving AI coding agents symbol-level reads of TS/JS, Rust, Python, Java, Go, JSON, and Markdown
Semantic code intelligence for AI coding agents
Ask for the symbol you need—not the entire file.

SymbolPeek is an MCP server that gives an AI coding agent a symbol-level view of your codebase. Instead of reading a whole file to answer "what does this function do" or "who calls it", the agent asks for one declaration and gets exactly that.
TypeScript and JavaScript are analyzed with the official TypeScript Compiler API. Rust, Python, Java, Go, and JSON use embedded Tree-sitter for syntax-level operations.
- An MCP client. Any stdio MCP client works; Codex and Claude Code are documented below. - Node.js 20 or newer — required for .ts, .tsx, .js, and .jsx analysis. Rust, Python, Java, Go, and JSON work without it.
No clone, Rust toolchain, or manual build is required.
The installer verifies the release checksum, installs the package, and then prints the exact command to connect your client. It touches nothing outside its own install directory — no client configuration is modified for you.

Memory your agent can trust — every answer carries its source; when it doesn't know, it says so. Hermetic, local, MCP.
