About Language Server MCP
Language Server MCP is an MCP server published by alexwohletz in the Developer Tools category: you can't work without an LSP server, neither should your agent.
The repository has 26 stars and 7 forks, with the last commit 11 months ago. Six months or more without a commit doesn't mean the server is broken, but check the open issues before depending on it in production.
Install
git clone https://github.com/alexwohletz/language-server-mcpThis server has no ConduID identity, so agent calls to it are not receipted. Pin the version you install and review the source before granting it credentials.

README
language-server-mcp MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing language support for code editing.
This is a TypeScript-based MCP server designed to enhance code editing experiences by providing features such as hover information, code completion, and diagnostics. It demonstrates core MCP concepts by providing:
- Language-specific tools for code analysis and manipulation
- Integration with the Model Context Protocol for seamless communication
Features
Language Support
- Provides hover information for symbols in code
- Offers code completion suggestions
- Reports diagnostic information (errors, warnings)
- Only tested with typescript, theoretically should support Python. Would love to add additional language servers or be more agnostic if possible.
MCP Integration
- Implements the MCP protocol for communication with clients
- Exposes language features as MCP tools
Tools
get_hover: Get hover information for a position in a document- Takes languageId, filePath, content, line, and character as required parameters
get_completions: Get completion suggestions for a position in a document- Takes languageId, filePath, content, line, and character as required parameters
get_diagnostics: Get diagnostic information for a document- Takes languageId, filePath, and content as required parameters

npm install
Build the server:
npm run build
For development with auto-rebuild:
npm run watch

Debugging
Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:
npm run inspector
The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
