Sverklo MCP Server

🇬🇧 English · 🇨🇳 中文 Sverklo gives coding agents repo memory: symbols, callers, diffs, blast radius, and git-pinned decisions before they edit. It is an open-source local-first MCP server for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex CLI, and any MCP-speaking coding agent.

People connecting developer tools tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
