Can Serena remember my progress across different Claude sessions?

Yes, Serena includes dedicated memory management tools such as write_memory and read_memory designed specifically to persist important context and findings between different user sessions.

How does Serena differ from standard grep or search tools?

Unlike text-based tools like grep, Serena understands the code's structure—identifying symbols, classes, and methods—allowing for precise navigation and refactoring based on code logic rather than just matching character strings.

Is project activation mandatory for Serena?

Yes, you must always run mcp__serena__activate_project first to initialize the environment, set the project path, and enable the full suite of semantic and memory tools.

What are reflection tools in Serena?

Reflection tools like think_about_task_adherence allow Claude to evaluate its own logic and the data it has collected before making significant code modifications, ensuring higher accuracy and safety.

開発者ツール

Enables semantic code navigation, symbolic refactoring, and persistent project memory for deep codebase understanding.

概要

Serena is a specialized MCP skill designed to transform how Claude interacts with large codebases by moving beyond simple text searches. It provides robust tools for symbol manipulation—such as renaming across an entire project and finding specific references—while maintaining project memory to persist context across different sessions. This skill is essential for developers performing complex refactoring, navigating architectural patterns, or maintaining long-term development context without losing state.

主な機能

Persistent project memory for cross-session context retention
0 GitHub stars
Integrated project onboarding and configuration management
Global symbol renaming and cross-file reference tracking
Reflection-driven task adherence and information analysis
Semantic symbol navigation and name-path pattern matching

ユースケース

Navigating unfamiliar, large-scale codebases using symbol hierarchy paths instead of regex searches.
Executing complex, multi-file symbol renames that require semantic accuracy over simple text replacement.
Maintaining development context and project-specific knowledge across multiple, disconnected Claude sessions.
