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.
