Mandatory tool-selection protocol for Serena LSP tools (mcp__serena__*) versus the Claude Code built-in Grep, Search, Read, and Edit tools for code inside the project Serena serves: which Serena tool answers each navigation or editing task, how to load deferred Serena tool schemas, name-path and relative-path conventions, recall limits, restarting a hung language server, what to do when Serena reports no language servers, and fallbacks. ALWAYS use it when your tools list includes any…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
<requirement> # Serena Tool Usage When Serena tools are available, use them for code navigation and symbol-level editing inside the project Serena serves, in preference to Search, Grep, and Read: Serena resolves definitions and usages semantically, following aliases and renamed imports that a text search misses, so a text search for a symbol can return an incomplete set even when it looks faster or simpler. The built-in tools remain the right choice for the cases listed under Step 3, and as the fallback when Serena is unavailable or cannot resolve a symbol. </requirement> <prohibition> # Symbol Searches to Route to Serena Each row below names a text-search habit and the Serena tool that answers the same question completely, with the canonical call. Every path in a Serena call is relative to the project root, as described under "Name Paths and Relative Paths" below. …

How to install
mdr add alex-feel/claude-code-artifacts-public/serena-tool-selection@sha256:2985480f57de8f19The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.3c326fd, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
