MCP Language Server
StaleDescription
MCP Language Server gives MCP-enabled clients access to semantic code tools like go-to-definition, find-references, rename, and diagnostics, providing AI agents with precise code navigation capabilities.
Key Features
- MCP server that bridges language servers (gopls, rust-analyzer, pyright, tsserver, clangd) to LLM clients
- Semantic code navigation tools: go-to-definition, find-references, rename, and diagnostics
- Hover information and documentation retrieval for any symbol in the codebase
- File editing with precise line-based multi-edit support for reliable code modifications
- Supports Go, Rust, Python, TypeScript, C/C++ and any stdio-based language server
Use Cases
π‘ AI agents performing code refactoring with precise rename and edit capabilities across projects
π‘ Code review assistants that need to trace function definitions and usages across a codebase
π‘ IDE-integrated chatbots providing contextual code navigation and diagnostics
π‘ Automated codebase analysis with semantic understanding beyond simple text search
π‘ Multi-language development workflows requiring unified tooling for different language servers

Quick Start
1. Install Go: https://golang.org/doc/install
2. Install the server: go install github.com/isaacphi/mcp-language-server@latest
3. Install a language server (e.g., gopls: go install golang.org/x/tools/gopls@latest)
4. Add to your MCP client config (e.g., Claude Desktop):
{"mcpServers": {"language-server": {"command": "mcp-language-server", "args": ["--workspace", "/path/to/project", "--lsp", "gopls"]}}}
