Overview
What is glyph?
glyph is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that extracts symbol outlines from your codebase using Tree-sitter's declarative query language. It provides LLM coding agents with clean, efficient symbol extraction and can also be used as a standalone CLI tool.
How to use glyph?
Install glyph via Go, then run it as an MCP server with glyph mcp or as a CLI tool with glyph cli followed by an absolute glob pattern. Control the detail level using the -detail flag (minimal, standard, or full). Integration with Claude Code and Cursor is supported by adding glyph as an MCP server.
Key features of glyph
- Declarative query-based symbol extraction using Tree-sitter
- Glob-based file discovery with familiar patterns
- Language-agnostic architecture, easy to extend
- Configurable detail levels (minimal, standard, full)
- Multi-file support for unified project views
- MCP-native for seamless AI workflow integration
- High performance with optimized Tree-sitter queries
Use cases of glyph
- Provide LLM coding agents with accurate code structure context
- Understand multi-file project outlines without overwhelming token limits
- Extract concise symbol maps for code review or documentation
- Generate high-level or detailed symbol summaries for any supported language
Frequently asked questions
How do I control the level of detail in the output?
Use the `-detail` option in CLI mode with values `minimal` (names and line numbers), `standard` (signatures and declarations), or `full` (complete symbol definitions with code blocks).
How can I integrate glyph with Claude Code or Cursor?
Add glyph as an MCP server: for Claude Code use `claude mcp add glyph /usr/local/bin/glyph mcp`; for Cursor add it to MCP configuration with command `/usr/local/bin/glyph` and args `["mcp"]`.
What runtime dependencies does glyph require?
Glyph is a Go binary; it requires Go to be installed to build from source. The installed binary runs standalone on any system with its binary.
How can I add support for a new language?
Modify `file_utils.go` for language detection (approx. 2 lines), add Tree-sitter query patterns in `queries.go` (approx. 10-20 lines), and update the query dispatcher (approx. 5 lines). An example for Rust is provided in the README.
