Symbols runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. Last commit 22 Aug 2026.
Fast polyglot source code intelligence: symbols, imports, dependencies, and impact analysis.

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.
aliases := parseTSConfig(root, filepath.Join(root, name))

This code can reach further than it looks
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.
