Tired of watching your coding agent fumble through C# code? Grepping file after file, missing obvious connections, bloating context with irrelevant code, and unable to peek inside third-party libraries to understand how to use them?
Glider is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI assistants deep semantic understanding of C# codebases. Built on Roslyn, it provides 35 tools for code navigation, analysis, refactoring, and diagnostics.
