It's crazy to me that cursor has been out for a while now, and it's basically a fork of vscode, and it support tool use, but it doesn't have the refactoring vscode tools as tools available to it.
Like there are tools out there that make sure that these kinds of changes won't break anything and they're just like "Naw dog, just give me access to the terminal and grep" wat.
There's an MCP that uses LSP (Language server protocol) which is what vscode and other ides use to navigate and refactor code.
The problem is it trips over cursor trying to do things
It doesn't seem like an inherent problem of the domain, so idk why they wouldn't just fix that, if that means writing their own LSP MCP, or even their own LSPs for major languages.
