MCP Gtags Server runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 151 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 19 Sep 2026.
Indexed C/C++ code navigation for AI agents — GNU Global (gtags) lookups over MCP, not grep scans.

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.
We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above:
GTAGS_MCP_ROOT (Optional pinned project root. Usually unnecessary: the server uses the client's workspace roots or auto-detects the repo from its working directory), GTAGS_MCP_AUTO_SETUP (Set to 0 to disable the automatic user-space install of the gtags/ctags toolchain on first use).
