rename_symbol_strict

MCP tool from Cclsp by ktnyt

Rename a symbol at a specific position in a file. Use this when renamesymbol returns multiple candidates. This tool now applies the rename to all affected files by default.

How to use it

Project documentation lists rename_symbol_strict 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.
