Tools Overview
Complete reference of all 47 Stellarion tools organized by category
Stellarion provides 47 tools for code intelligence, organized into 28 community tools (free) and 19 Pro tools (licensed). Every tool uses the stellarion_ prefix and communicates over MCP.
Three of the Pro tools are EDA-specific (Quartus / Qsys / SDC) and surface only when the server runs in EDA mode.

EDA · Quartus / Qsys / SDC (3)
These tools require EDA mode (--mode eda) and a Pro license / active trial. They consume the EDA classifications produced by the TCL/SDC/UPF parser and answer architecture-level questions about Quartus / Qsys workflows.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
stellarion_find_eda_calls | Aggregate EDA call sites across categories (quartus_assignment, qsys_interface, …); filter by category, prefix, file pattern, or caller |
stellarion_get_flow_graph | Build the EDA flow graph: 18 stages (project_setup → ip_composition → synthesis → routing → timing → reporting → …) with per-stage members and stage-to-stage transitions |
stellarion_find_duplicate_constraints | Detect duplicate (category, key) groups; flag conflicting values (real config drift); onlyTrueConflicts filter for high-signal output |
How Tools Work Together
Stellarion tools are designed to chain together. Here are the most common workflows.
Understanding Unfamiliar Code
stellarion_symbol_search-- find the function or class you needstellarion_get_ai_contextwithintent: "explain"-- get full source with related symbols, imports, and architecturestellarion_get_call_graph-- trace execution flow to understand how it fits into the systemstellarion_memory_store-- save what you learned for future sessions
Making a Code Change
stellarion_memory_context-- check for past decisions or known issues at this locationstellarion_get_edit_context-- get source, callers, tests, and git history in one callstellarion_analyze_impact-- predict what breaks if you change this code- Make the change
stellarion_find_related_tests-- find tests to run and update
