rename_symbol

MCP tool from Mcpls by bug-ops

Workspace-wide rename with full reference tracking

How to use it

Project documentation lists rename_symbol for the Mcpls 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.
