How to use AI more efficiently for free (Serena MCP)

Intro

Recently, I started using Claude Code (terminal type AI coding agent tool by Anthropic). I am using "Pro plan" which has a token limit every 5 hours. Claude Code always reaches the token limit right in the middle of a difficult coding task.🤯 So, my journey to use AI more efficiently started.🚀

I found that SuperClaude and Serena looked good for this purpose. I wanted to use it for free, but both are OSS and met my needs.🤑 Finally, I choose Serena because SuperClaude uses Serena inside, so I thought Serena was the more essential system to learn first. OK, let's look at what Serena can do.🔍

What is Serena?

Serena is a coding agent toolkit that provides semantic code retrieval and editing tools. https://github.com/oraios/serena

Serena can not only save tokens but also speed up AI responses and improve response quality. You can use Serena at Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, VSCode and others as a MCP (Model Context Protocol). Serena supports programming language such as TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, C# and more.

Outro

Serena can reduce token usage and shorten response time and also improve code quality.👍 It is easy and free to use Serena, so why don't you give it a try.

I hope you learned something from this post.😊 Thank you for reading. Happy AI coding!🤖
