As the ones actually applying Serena's tools, they are in the best position to evaluate Serena.\n\nserena is listed in this index written primarily in Python, with 31k stars on GitHub. Its latest recorded repository push was in October 2026; that is not an ASE editorial review date.\n\n```\nuv tool install -p 3.13 serena-agent\n```\n\n**Make your product part of the discovery.** Explore advertising", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/serena-shipped-an-update", "canonical_source": "https://agentsearchengine.app/agents/serena", "published_at": "2026-10-26 12:06:34+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-10-26 23:43:32.405318+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "agent-protocols", "ai-tools", "developer-tools", "ai-products"], "entities": ["Serena", "Model Context Protocol", "GitHub", "Python"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/serena-shipped-an-update", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/serena-shipped-an-update.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/serena-shipped-an-update.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/serena-shipped-an-update.jsonld"}}
