Use agents-ide MCP tools for faster code exploration and manipulation.

Guides

Overview

• overview.md - Why use these tools over native alternatives

Search & Structure

• structure.md - Get file/package structure with filtering
• symbol_search.md - Fuzzy search for symbols workspace-wide
• code_search.md - Grep + structure for semantic search

Refactoring

• rename.md - Batch rename symbols across files
• rename_local.md - Rename local variables
• move.md - Move symbol and update imports
• change_signature.md - Change function params and update call sites
• find_and_replace.md - Batch find/replace with preview
• toggle_comment.md - Batch comment/uncomment

Utilities

• copy_paste.md - Copy text ranges between files

Code Quality

• code_quality.md - complexity, dead_code, duplicates, dependencies, loc, coupling

Use Cases

Practical workflows combining multiple tools:

• use_cases/quick_test_toggle.md - Test with/without code using toggle_comment
• use_cases/refactor_function.md - Rename, change signature, move functions
• use_cases/reduce_complexity.md - Find and fix complex code
• use_cases/clean_dead_code.md - Find and remove unused code
• use_cases/extract_duplicates.md - Find duplicates and consolidate
• use_cases/understand_codebase.md - Explore unfamiliar code
• use_cases/split_large_file.md - Break large files into smaller ones
• use_cases/break_complex_module.md - Decompose complex modules
• use_cases/api_migration.md - Update function signatures across codebase
• use_cases/batch_rename.md - Rename symbols consistently
