search_symbols
Find symbols by name across the codebase
How to use it
Project documentation lists search_symbols for the Depwire 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.
