JetBrains provides an MCP server such that agents can query the project index for things like find usages. What's different about this?

I'm hoping Rider get some support for switching between worktrees efficiently - until then, it becomes a tool only the primary / interactive agent sessions can access.

lol I actually didn't know that. This is MIT licensed though.

EDIT: I think the differentiation is that this isn't MCP based. Dumping a portable json file allows much more flexibility than just having to run Rider IDE in the background with the solution loaded and indexed. e.g. the graph works with jq, CI (gates), arbitrary agents without MCP support, non MCP tools, bulk questions etc.
