Glider - Roslyn MCP Server

Glider is a Roslyn-powered MCP server for semantic C# navigation, analysis, and refactoring.

Install

Prerequisite: .NET 10 SDK.

dotnet tool install --global glider

If install fails, run dotnet --version first. If dotnet is missing or below 10, install .NET 10 from: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/10.0

Run Modes

Stdio (default)

glider

HTTP

glider --transport http

Default HTTP MCP endpoint: http://localhost:5001/mcp

Useful flags:

glider --default-timeout 30m
glider --port 8080
glider --verbose
glider --help
glider --version

--default-timeout supports ms, s, and m suffixes. Use 0 to disable server-side timeout.

Configure Your MCP Client

Use installation and host-specific setup guides on the website:

Capabilities

  • Solution/project lifecycle: load, sync, reload
  • Discovery and inspection: find_code, search_symbols, resolve_symbol, get_symbol_info, get_symbol_at_position
  • References and hierarchy: find_references, find_overrides, find_implementations, get_type_hierarchy, find_callers
  • Diagnostics and code search: get_diagnostics, diagnostic_hotspots, semantic_query, search_text
  • Refactoring and edits: rename_symbol, move_type, move_member, organize_usings, format_document, write_file
  • Dependency and impact analysis: analyze_change_impact, get_cascade_impact, get_project_graph, find_package_usages
  • Batch execution: batch

For general code navigation, find_code is the recommended first tool to try. For deeper operational guidance and tool-selection heuristics, use the repository docs.

Version Expiration

Each Glider version expires 1 month after release date.

dotnet tool update --global glider

Troubleshooting

  • If glider is not found after install, ensure ~/.dotnet/tools is on PATH.
  • If load fails with MSBuild initialization errors, rerun with --verbose and inspect returned diagnostics.
  • On Windows, stable Visual Studio installs are preferred for legacy/.NET Framework solutions.
