rename_symbol

MCP tool from Cclsp by ktnyt

Rename a symbol by name and kind in a file. This tool now applies the rename to all affected files by default. If multiple symbols match, returns candidate positions and suggests using renamesymbolstrict.

How to use it

Project documentation lists rename_symbol for the Cclsp MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
