rename_symbol

MCP tool from Symbolpeek MCP by pioner92

"Rename this symbol project-wide." Writes files directly — refused before any write if the new name collides with a declaration already in scope

How to use it

Project documentation lists rename_symbol for the Symbolpeek MCP 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.
