About

Serena provides essential semantic code retrieval, editing, refactoring and debugging tools that are akin to an IDE's capabilities, operating at the symbol level and exploiting relational structure. It integrates with any client/LLM via the model context protocol (MCP).

Serena's agent-first tool design involves robust high-level abstractions, distinguishing it from approaches that rely on low-level concepts like line numbers or primitive search patterns.

Practically, this means that your agent operates faster, more efficiently and more reliably, especially in larger and more complex codebases.

[!IMPORTANT] Do not install Serena via an MCP or plugin marketplace! They contain outdated and suboptimal installation commands. Instead, follow our Quick Start instructions.
