Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

TGlider

TGlider is a semantic TypeScript and JavaScript MCP server for code navigation, workspace intelligence, dependency topology, diagnostics, and refactoring.

Requirements

  • Node.js 24 or newer.
  • An MCP client that can launch stdio servers or connect to Streamable HTTP.
  • A TypeScript or JavaScript workspace using tsconfig.json, jsconfig.json, or an inferred JS/TS project.

MCP Configuration

Use the stable package for normal MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tglider": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "tglider"]
    }
  }
}

Use installation and host-specific setup guides on the website:

LLM Agent System Prompt

After connecting the server, add this instruction to the MCP client system prompt so the agent uses compiler-backed workspace facts before raw text search:

When working in TypeScript or JavaScript workspaces, prefer tglider mcp semantic tools before grep, rg, or find for code navigation and refactoring. Use TGlider for symbols, declarations, references, implementations, exports, package importers, project and dependency topology, diagnostics, callers, outgoing calls, impact analysis, and preview-first rename or refactor planning. Use shell text search only for non-code assets, files outside the loaded workspace, generated output, or after TGlider cannot load or cannot answer the question.

CLI Arguments

tglider --help
tglider --version
tglider
tglider --transport http --port 5002
tglider --default-timeout 30m

Running tglider without flags starts the MCP stdio server. Running tglider --transport http starts Streamable HTTP at /mcp and a health endpoint at /health. --default-timeout supports ms, s, and m suffixes. Use 0 to disable server-side tool timeouts.

Tool Overview

TGlider exposes MCP tools for:

  • workspace loading, project metadata, and package workspace detection
  • file reads, file structure summaries, diagnostics, and diagnostic hotspots
  • semantic symbol search, symbol lookup at position, definitions, declarations, references, implementations, and type hierarchies
  • project dependency topology, dependency paths, file dependents, and cycles
  • API/export discovery and compact semantic queries
  • call graph inspection, cascade impact summaries, conservative unused-code discovery, preview-first rename/refactor planning, and language-service formatting
  • live document open/update/close workflows for editors and agents

Version Expiration Notice

TGlider packages include release metadata and expire 30 days after their release date. The recommended npx -y tglider MCP configuration resolves the current package when the client launches the server. tglider --help and tglider --version continue to work after expiry.
