High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up semantic code analysis with Serena MCP in my project?▼

To set up semantic code analysis, you configure the Serena MCP server by updating your `opencode.json` file at either the project or user level, then verify tool accessibility. This process ensures prerequisites are met and semantic retrieval is enabled.

What is semantic code retrieval and how does Serena MCP enable it?▼

Semantic code retrieval allows searching and editing code based on meaning rather than exact text matches. Serena MCP provides this by running a local server that integrates with OpenCode to analyze project structure and semantics.

Do I need uv installed to configure Serena MCP for OpenCode?▼

Yes, `uv` is a required prerequisite for configuring Serena MCP. The setup process verifies that `uv` is installed on your system before proceeding with the server configuration and tool accessibility checks.

Can I add Serena MCP configuration to opencode.json without breaking existing settings?▼

Yes, you can integrate Serena MCP into `opencode.json` without conflicts. The setup process safely updates the configuration file to include Serena server settings while preserving your existing OpenCode project parameters.

What's the best way to initialize Serena MCP for a new coding project?▼

The best way to initialize Serena MCP is using a guided setup that configures `opencode.json` and provides project initialization links. This optimizes your environment for semantic operations like advanced code navigation and analysis.

Why is my Serena MCP setup not working after updating the configuration?▼

If Serena MCP setup is not working, verify that the prerequisite `uv` is installed and that tool accessibility checks passed post-configuration. The setup process explicitly checks these conditions to ensure the server operates correctly.
