# 🚀 Serena MCP - Quick Install Template **Copy this to any repo for instant Serena setup!** --- ## ⚡ **5-Minute Install** ### **Step 1: Ensure `uv` is installed** ```powershell # Check if installed uv --version # If not, install: winget install astral-sh.uv ``` --- ### **Step 2: Create Cursor config** **In your project root**, run: ```powershell # Create .cursor folder New-Item -Path ".cursor" -ItemType Directory -Force # Get current directory path $projectPath = (Get-Location).Path # Create config (COPY THIS ENTIRE BLOCK!) @" { "mcpServers": { "serena": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "--from", "git+https://github.com/oraios/serena", "serena", "start-mcp-server", "--context", "ide-assistant", "--project", "$($projectPath.Replace('\', '\\'))" ], "env": { "PYTHONUNBUFFERED": "1" } } } } "@ | Out-File -FilePath ".cursor\mcp.json" -Encoding UTF8 Write-Host "✅ Serena configured for: $projectPath" -ForegroundColor Green ``` --- ### **Step 3: Add to .gitignore** Add this line to `.gitignore`: ``` # Serena .serena/ ``` --- ### **Step 4: Restart Cursor** 1. Close Cursor completely 2. Reopen in this folder 3. Serena tools will be available! --- ## 🎯 **First Use** ### **In Cursor Composer, say:** ``` @Composer Run Serena onboarding for this project ``` **What happens**: - Serena scans your project (30 sec - 2 min) - Creates `.serena/` folder with memories - Starts Python/TypeScript language servers - Opens dashboard at http://localhost:24282 - Ready to use! --- ## 🔧 **Quick Test** After onboarding, try: ``` @Composer Use Serena to find all functions in this project ``` or ``` @Composer Use Serena to give me an overview of the project structure ``` --- ## 📊 **Dashboard** **Open**: http://localhost:24282/dashboard/index.html **Shows**: - Real-time tool calls - Token savings estimates - Language server status - Project memories --- ## ⚙️ **Configuration (Optional)** After first run, edit `.serena/project.yml`: ```yaml # Ignore large folders ignored_dirs: - node_modules - .venv - venv - __pycache__ - dist - build # Read-only mode (no editing) read_only: false # Disable shell commands (safer) disabled_tools: - execute_shell_command ``` --- ## 🛠️ **Troubleshooting** ### **Serena not showing up?** - Verify `.cursor/mcp.json` has valid JSON (no trailing commas!) - Fully restart Cursor (close all windows) - Check Cursor logs: `%APPDATA%\Cursor\logs\` ### **Slow first startup?** - Expected! Language servers initialize - Pre-index to speed up: ```powershell uvx --from git+https://github.com/oraios/serena serena project index ``` ### **Dashboard won't open?** - Manually navigate: http://localhost:24282/dashboard/index.html - Check port: `netstat -ano | findstr "24282"` --- ## ✅ **That's It!** **Three files added**: - `.cursor/mcp.json` - Serena config - `.gitignore` entry - Exclude Serena cache - `.serena/` folder - Created on first run **Ready to save 70% tokens!** 🎉 --- ## 📚 **Full Guides** For complete documentation, see: - `SERENA_GUIDE.md` - Complete usage guide - `SERENA_INSTALL_AND_TEST.md` - Detailed testing procedures --- *Quick Install Template* *Copy to any repo for instant Serena setup* *Time: 5 minutes* *Token savings: Up to 70%* **Happy coding with semantic understanding!** 🧠✨
