MCP Language Server
isaacphi/mcp-language-server
The MCP Language Server exposes language server protocol (LSP) capabilities to LLM clients, enabling semantic code navigation tools such as go-to-definition, find-references, rename, and diagnostics for multiple programming languages. It bridges LSP-compliant language servers (like gopls for Go and rust-analyzer for Rust) with MCP clients, allowing LLMs to understand and interact with codebases more effectively. This solves the problem of LLMs lacking access to precise, language-aware code analysis that IDE language servers provide.

MCP Language Server
This is an MCP server that runs and exposes a language server to LLMs. Not a language server for MCP, whatever that would be.
Demo
mcp-language-server helps MCP enabled clients navigate codebases more easily by giving them access semantic tools like get definition, references, rename, and diagnostics.
