Glider MCP for C# code: semantic tooling that saves tool calls

When you ask an AI coding agent to understand a C# solution, you quickly hit two problems: Text search is not semantic. Grep cannot reliably answer questions about symbols, types, overloads, or implementations. The agent burns context and time doing many small tool calls (search -> open file -> search again -> open file again). Glider MCP is my attempt to fix both. It is a Roslyn-powered Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives MCP clients (like Claude Code) compiler-grade understanding of your codebase: symbols, types, relationships, diagnostics, and safe refactors. ...
