r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: Try out Serena MCP. Thank me later.
June 20, 2025 -

Thanks so much to /u/thelastlokean for raving about this.
I've been spending days writing my own custom scripts with grep, ast-grep, and writing tracing through instrumentation hooks and open telemetry to get Claude to understand the structure of the various api calls and function calls.... Wow. Then Serena MCP (+ Claude Code) seems to be built exactly to solve that.

Within a few moments of reading some of the docs and trying it out I can immediately see this is a game changer.

Don't take my word, try it out. Especially if your project is starting to become more complex.

Serena - AI Tool for Devs | EveryDev.ai
September 20, 2025 - Runs as an MCP server, meaning tools like Claude Desktop can connect directly to it · Most coding assistants (like Copilot or Claude Code) can only "see" the file you're typing in. They don’t really know your whole project. Serena fixes that by acting like a smart bridge between your AI and your entire codebase — kind of like giving your AI its own keyboard, IDE, and terminal.

Serena MCP: The Free, Open-Source Coding Assistant That Rivals Premium AI Tools
October 28, 2025 - Born from frustration with expensive subscriptions like Cursor Pro, Serena works seamlessly with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and other MCP clients, making professional-grade AI coding assistance accessible to everyone. If you've been frustrated by the mounting costs of AI coding tools—$20/month for Cursor, $30/month for GitHub Copilot, or burning through API credits with tools like Cline that send entire files as context—you're not alone.

r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: Am I the only who is not finding any value in Serena MCP or MCPs in general? (using Claude Code)
July 4, 2025 -

I am using Serena MCP, but I don't notice that Claude Code works better with it. In fact, anytime it calls Serena's tool, CC slows to a grind. I have my project indexed. Is it just me, or are MCPs just hype and not value adds?

Don't use MCP servers unless they fulfil something that Claude Code cannot do on it's own. I use Notion, Playwright, and Context7. Notion because I also use Claude Code on my Android phone and I use the Notion MCP to save stuff and restore it on other devices. Playwright because when you're creating a website Claude Code can use playwright to interact and screenshot the website, which helps Claude Code develop the website. Context7 because it helps Claude Code retrieve the latest documentation on stuff like API's. Why are you using Serena MCP? I don't see a good reason for me to use it with Claude Code.

Hi, Serena dev here. It's a young project, and we are working on smoothing the edges, improving the performance and the documentation. We are not even at the first release yet :) I'd like to invite everyone who had problems to report them on GitHub as issue, we are very responsive there. Also, not yet written in the documentation: you will not notice much benefits from Serena on small projects, or on tasks that are restricted to edits within one (not too large) file, or if your task mainly involves writing entire new files instead of editing existing ones. You will, however, notice significantly more intelligent and token efficient behavior when working on medium-size to large projects, especially for tasks that involve understanding or editing multiple files in the code. Serena fundamentally gives the agent better tools for context engineering, but if the context engineering on your project/task is very simple, you will not have gains, and instead Serena might get in the way.
