Stdio Transport (Default)

For use with MCP clients like Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport stdio glider --scope project -- glider

glider --version
glider -v

Features

• Symbol Search: Find references, implementations, and types with wildcards (find_usages, find_implementation, find_types)

• Type Analysis: Inspect type members, base types, and interfaces

• External Source: View source code of NuGet/framework types via SourceLink or decompilation

• Source Extraction: Get bounded source for types/methods (get_type_source, get_method_source)

• Symbol Discovery: Search symbols and get stable keys (search_symbols, get_symbol_at_position, get_symbol_info)

• Batch Operations: Run multiple tools in a single request via batch

• Summary-Only Mode: For large queries, some tools support summaryOnly to return counts/grouping without full lists

• Method Analysis: Get method signatures, parameters, and return types

• Refactoring: Semantically rename symbols, move types, and move members across the solution

• Diagnostic-Driven Code Fixes: List and apply code fixes with preview/diff (get_code_fixes, apply_code_fix)

• Formatting: Organize usings and format documents with preview/diff (organize_usings, format_document)

• Diagnostics: Retrieve compiler diagnostics (errors, warnings, info)

• Dependency Analysis: Analyze what types a type uses and what uses it

• Code Metrics: Analyze complexity metrics like cyclomatic complexity and LOC

• Multi-Transport: Supports stdio (local) and HTTP (remote) protocols
