The MCP Language Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to connect with standard language servers. It acts as a bridge, enhancing development tooling for large-scale projects by making powerful language server features available through the MCP framework.
To use it, ensure you have Go installed. Then, fetch the server and configure it with the specific language server (e.g., for Python, TypeScript) you wish to use within your development environment.
Its key features include retrieving full source code definitions for symbols, finding all usages and references, providing file diagnostics, supporting code lens hints for context, and enabling programmatic text edits to files.
Primary use cases are improving code navigation and comprehension in large codebases, delivering accurate symbol references and diagnostics across languages, and streamlining development with integrated language server capabilities.
For common questions: it supports multiple languages via compatible servers like those for Python, TypeScript, Go, and Rust. Setup is straightforward by following the provided documentation. Please note the project is currently in pre-beta quality.
