Usage

Serena can be used in various ways. In this section, you will find general usage instructions as well as concrete instructions for selected integrations.

  • For coding with Claude, we recommend using Serena through Claude Code or Claude Desktop. You can also use Serena in most other terminal-based clients.
  • If you want a GUI experience outside an IDE, you can use one of the many local GUIs that support MCP servers. You can also connect Serena to many web clients (including ChatGPT) using mcpo.
  • If you want to use Serena integrated in your IDE, see the section on other MCP clients.
  • You can use Serena as a library for building your own applications. We try to keep the public API stable, but you should still expect breaking changes and pin Serena to a fixed version if you use it as a dependency.
