# Give MCP clients language-server code intelligence

Expose LSP-backed definition, reference, rename, and diagnostic tools to MCP clients so coding agents can inspect code semantics before editing.

## Prerequisites

MCP-capable client, Go toolchain, and a language server for the target programming language

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- git clone https://github.com/isaacphi/mcp-language-server.git

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- <summary>Python (pyright)</summary>
- You will need the language servers installed locally to run them. There are tests for go, rust, python, and typescript.

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- **Install Go**: Follow instructions at <https://golang.org/doc/install>
- **Install or update this server**: go install github.com/isaacphi/mcp-language-server@latest
- **Install a language server**: _follow one of the guides below_
