Veris vs Synapse Code MCP
A side-by-side look at the Veris and Synapse Code MCP MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Veris for databases work as a local process; choose Synapse Code MCP for databases as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.

Synapse Code MCP tools 5
get_project_treeReturns a structured tree view of the project repository, respecting .gitignore rules.get_semantic_contextReturns the content of a file along with its local dependency tree, providing rich context for understanding the code.search_codebaseSearches the codebase for text or regex patterns, returning matches with file paths and line numbers.get_changed_filesReturns a list of files changed since a git ref (default: HEAD~1), grouped by status (added/modified/deleted). Optionally includes the full unified diff. Use this to understand what changed in a branch or commit.get_project_indexReturns a compressed semantic map of the entire project: all exported functions, classes, interfaces, and types with their signatures — no implementation bodies. Ideal for getting an overview of a large codebase in a single call (~500 tokens). Call this first when exploring an unfamiliar project.
