Local syntax validation across 25 languages. Catch typos without running a build.

Signature

senkani_mcp.call(tool="senkani_validate", args={...})

Behavior

Details

Validation is pure parse — not type-check. Doesn't catch type errors, semantic bugs, or lint issues. Fast (~50 ms for a 2k-line file).
