What each says it does
tslsp
Routes any TS/JS symbol work (find usages, jump-to-def, rename, move file with import rewrites, hover, diagnostics, call hierarchy) through tsgo instead of Grep/Edit/mv. Requires the `tslsp-cli` binary on PATH — install with `npm i -g @0xdeafcafe/tslsp-cli` or run via `npx @0xdeafcafe/tslsp-cli`.
jCodemunch MCP
Retrieves code by symbol via tree-sitter. 96.6% fewer tokens per lookup than grep-and-read.
