# Add IDE-style semantic code navigation and symbol-safe refactors to coding agents through Serena
Give a coding agent symbol-aware lookup, cross-file rename, and structural edit tools before it starts making brittle text-only changes.
## Prerequisites
Serena installation, an MCP-compatible coding agent or client, supported language server or project environment, local repository access
## Installation
Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- uv tool install -p 3.13 serena-agent@latest --prerelease=allow
Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- **Opus 4.6 (high) in Claude Code on a large Python codebase:**
- **Prerequisites**. Serena is managed by *uv*, and [installing uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) is the only required prerequisite.
Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- Instead, follow our [Quick Start](#quick-start) instructions.
- See our [documentation](https://oraios.github.io/serena/04-evaluation/000_evaluation-intro.html) for the full methodology and much more detailed evaluation results, or run your own evaluation on a project of your choice.
- See the [Quick Start](#quick-start) section below for information on how to get started.
