Mcp Gtags Server

Overview

Mcp Gtags Server enables indexed C/C++ code navigation for AI agents using GNU Global (gtags) lookups over MCP instead of slow grep scans. It exposes code search and navigation as tools that Claude, Cursor, and other AI assistants can invoke directly on your codebase.

The server runs locally as a Python package installed via uvx mcp-gtags-server. It communicates over stdio and requires no credentials or external authentication—it works out of the box. The latest release is v1.4.2, distributed under the MIT license with source code available at harshithsunku/mcp-gtags-server on GitHub.

Mcp Gtags Server sits in the Development category and integrates with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and others. If you maintain this server, claim your listing on mcp.site to verify ownership and keep information up to date.
