ast_find_references
Compiler-resolved references with bounded context
How to use it
Project documentation lists ast_find_references for the Ast MCP Server 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.
