What is the Mcp-gtags-server MCP Server?

Mcp-gtags-server is an MCP integration. Indexed C/C++ code navigation for AI agents — GNU Global (gtags) lookups over MCP, not grep scans.

Packages and local setup

The published pypi package is mcp-gtags-server, version 2.0.0. Its declared MCP transport is stdio.

The package declares GTAGS_MCP_ROOT: Optional pinned project root. Usually unnecessary: the server uses the client's workspace roots or auto-detects the repo from its working directory.; GTAGS_MCP_AUTO_SETUP: Set to 0 to disable the automatic user-space install of the gtags/ctags toolchain on first use..

Before connecting

Check the maintainer’s instructions for account access, authentication and the supported client configuration. Once connected, inspect the tools your client receives and try a small task that matches the server’s stated purpose. The registry description does not include a verified, complete tool list.
