Get type/documentation info for the symbol at a position.

line and column are 1-indexed. column is a UTF-16 character offset on the line (not a visual/display column): a leading tab counts as one character.

Which directory is webnav navigating, and why? Use when results look like they come from the wrong checkout/worktree.

Go to the definition of the symbol at a position.

line and column are 1-indexed. column is a UTF-16 character offset on the line (not a visual/display column): a leading tab counts as one character. On a --custom-property/#id/.class token in a .css/.html file (or a name inside an HTML id="..."/class="..." value), answers from the cross-file index (see css_var/selector) instead of the single-file language server: for definition, just the definition(s) in the file's own root (each WEBNAV_MCP_ROOTS root is separate); for references, that root's definitions and usages.

Find all usages of the symbol at a position across the workspace.

line and column are 1-indexed. column is a UTF-16 character offset on the line (not a visual/display column): a leading tab counts as one character. On a --custom-property/#id/.class token in a .css/.html file (or a name inside an HTML id="..."/class="..." value), answers from the cross-file index (see css_var/selector) instead of the single-file language server, limited to the file's own root (each WEBNAV_MCP_ROOTS root is separate) unless it has no hits there.

Search JS/TS files for a symbol by name (function, class, const, etc.).

JS/TS-only: the HTML/CSS language servers don't implement useful workspace-wide symbol search (webnav does not reimplement it). Prefer symbol_info for a one-call summary. Returned positions point at the identifier name and use the same character-offset column convention as the other tools. Results include a SymbolKind label and are capped. name is accepted as an alias for query. Narrow broad queries with kind (SymbolKind labels, comma-separated: class, function,method, interface, ...) and path (workspace-relative prefix such as src/, or a glob such as src/**/*.ts). Production code ranks before tests. Loose fuzzy hits whose names don't contain the query are summarised as a count when real matches exist; pass fuzzy=true to list them too.

What is X and where is it used? Example: symbol_info(name="renderSidebar").

One-call summary for a JS/TS name: header, hover text, definition, and references grouped by file, the usual first lookup instead of chaining search_symbol → hover → definition → references by hand. Pass file_path to disambiguate; query is accepted as an alias for name. For CSS/HTML cross-file lookups use css_var / selector instead.

Who calls this function? Example: callers(name="renderSidebar").

Narrower than references, since it leaves out imports and type-only usages and only lists actual call sites, each with the calling function and its call-site lines. name resolves the same way as symbol_info (dotted Class.method accepted, inherited members included; pass file_path to disambiguate a common name). query is accepted as an alias for name. JS/TS only.

Who implements or extends this? Example: implementations(name="Shape").

For an interface or class, lists the classes that implement or extend it (transitively); for an interface or abstract method (Shape.area), lists the methods that implement it. Backed by the language server's textDocument/implementation, so it follows the type checker, not naming. name resolves like symbol_info (pass file_path to disambiguate); query is accepted as an alias. JS/TS only.

What's in this file? Example: outline(file_path="src/app.ts").

Indented outline (functions, classes, interfaces, with :start-end line spans) of a JS/TS file in source order, so you can navigate without reading it in full. Locals, callbacks and object-literal keys inside functions and variables are left out; pass detailed=true to include them. Follow up with hover/definition/references at a listed line, or symbol_info by name.

Get the relevant language server's diagnostics (errors/warnings) for a single file.

For .css/.html files, this also includes index-derived warnings the single-file language server can't see: var(--x) used with no matching declaration anywhere in the same indexed root, and CSS selectors (#id/.class) with no HTML/JS reference in that root.

Where is this --custom-property defined and used? Example: css_var(name="--bg").

The CSS/HTML language servers only see one file at a time, so var(--x) usages can't be cross-referenced across files that way. This scans .css files and HTML <style>/style="…" blocks/attributes instead. name may be given with or without the leading --. Definitions (value + enclosing context, e.g. @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) › :root) and usages (grouped by file with line numbers) are reported separately per configured root (see WEBNAV_MCP_ROOTS; a single unnamed root by default), since each may define its own values. query is accepted as an alias for name.

Who uses this #id or .class? Example: selector(name=".card-title").

Looks up the selector across the whole workspace.

Cross-references CSS rule definitions, HTML id=/class= attributes, and JS usages (getElementById, classList.add/remove/toggle/contains, querySelector/querySelectorAll, className assignment, and any JS string literal exactly equal to the bare name, e.g. an id passed to a project's own helper like onClick("btn-save", …), labeled "string literal"). Hits in generated output (WEBNAV_MCP_EXCLUDE) are labeled [generated]; edit their source instead. This is something the single-file CSS/HTML language servers can't do. name must include the leading # or .. Grouped by file with line numbers, separately per configured root (see WEBNAV_MCP_ROOTS). A JS hit built from string concatenation (e.g. getElementById("view-" + x)) is reported against only its static prefix and labeled "dynamic partial match"; a query whose name starts with such a prefix (e.g. #view-components against a stored #view-) also surfaces that hit, labeled "dynamic partial match via ''", instead of being silently dropped or guessed. query is accepted as an alias for name.
