High-performance coding agent toolkit MCP server — IDE-grade code intelligence for LLMs

codescout is an MCP server that provides AI coding agents with IDE-grade code intelligence, including symbol navigation, semantic search, persistent memory, and workspace-wide artifact tracking. It is optimized for token efficiency and works with Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and any MCP-capable agent. It supports multi-project workspaces and integrates deeply with LSP across 9 languages.
