Side-by-side comparison of two Model Context Protocol servers — install paths, tools, quality signals, and directory engagement so you can pick the right one for Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients.
Routes an AI coding agent's code search through an official language-server index (clangd / Roslyn / tsserver / pyright) instead of grep, returning a token-capped file:line list with no source bodies — 20× fewer tokens. Also symbol-level edit-by-name, a Bash-grep→indexed-query rewrite hook, and git/p4 output compaction. Local-only, no IDE. Claude Code plugin + vts CLI.
Semantic code index that extracts domain concepts, naming conventions, and behavioral similarity from codebases. One tool call instead of 19, 20x fewer tokens for codebase understanding queries.
