What's New

Recent additions to Travsr. For the longer-term plan, see the Roadmap.

16-language coverage and get_snippets​

  • get_snippets MCP tool. Kind-aware code retrieval that returns the source of matched symbols directly, so an agent can read implementations without a second round trip. This brings the core MCP query surface to 12 tools (21 in single-repo stdio, counting the synonym_* and repos_* management tools).
  • Swift, Objective-C, and Dart. Phase B semantic indexers shipped for Swift (travsr-swift-index-emitter), Objective-C (travsr-lang-objectivec, macOS only), and Dart (travsr-dart-index-emitter), bringing structural coverage to 16 languages.
  • Phase B plugin host. Every non-built-in language now runs through a sandboxed plugin host with a two-transport architecture (in-process native or external sidecar) and a per-language trust model. Install any of them with travsr lang install <lang>.

Dynamic synonyms and new sidebar panels​

  • travsr synonym CLI. Add, remove, and list query-time synonym pairs from the terminal. Synonyms expand search terms at query time, searching billing also hits nodes tagged payment and invoice. See travsr synonym.
  • Synonyms panel. Manage synonym pairs visually in VS Code without touching the CLI. See Synonyms Panel.
  • Languages panel. Shows which languages are indexed in the current repo and lets you install language tools with one click. See Languages Panel.
  • Repos panel. Lists all repos in the Travsr registry with live active/stale badges and a one-click prune button. See Repos Panel.
  • Graph Stats panel. Shows node count, edge count, schema version, DB size, and last-indexed time at a glance. See Graph Stats.

Visual graph panel and get_graph_json​

  • Visual graph panel. Open the Cytoscape.js graph panel from the command palette with Travsr: Show Graph (Cmd+Shift+G). It renders the live code graph for a symbol and lets you click through dependencies and callers. See VS Code features.
  • get_graph_json MCP tool. Returns a subgraph as raw node and edge JSON rather than token-budget-trimmed prose. It backs the graph panel and is useful for custom integrations and CI tooling. See the tool reference.

Language packages​

Semantic analysis is now installable per language via travsr lang install <lang>. It adds call edges, type resolution, and cross-module references on top of the always-on Tree-sitter structural parsing.

  • Rust, TypeScript, JavaScript, and Python are built into the core binary and run automatically.
  • More languages ship as separate packages: Go, Ruby, PHP, C++, C, Java, Kotlin, C#, and Scala.

See Installation for the install steps and trust model, and travsr lang for the CLI reference.
