LSP Integration
Understand how Kodezi CLI uses the Language Server Protocol (LSP) to provide real-time diagnostics, code intelligence, and multi-language support.
Kodezi CLI uses the Language Server Protocol (LSP) to give you smarter and more accurate code assistance.
With LSP turned on, Chronos-1 can:
- Understand your project structure
- Detect errors instantly
- Provide more accurate and context aware suggestions
- Improve code navigation and analysis
LSP works automatically in the background and makes all AI features faster, smarter, and more reliable.
Supported Features
Kodezi CLI connects to LSP servers to provide powerful development features:
Diagnostics
- Detects syntax errors, warnings, and type issues in real time
- Helps identify problems before running or compiling your code
Code Context Awareness
- Understands functions, classes, imports, and relationships
- Provides better refactoring suggestions
- Improves AI accuracy by understanding file wide and project wide context
Multi Language Support
Works with any language that provides an LSP server, including:
- TypeScript / JavaScript
- Python
- Go
- Rust
- Java
- PHP
- C / C++
- And many more
Background Processing
- LSP servers initialize quietly in the background
- No blocking or delays during code editing
Configuration
To enable or customize LSP servers, add them to your Kodezi CLI config file (kodezi.json).
Example:
{
"lsp": {
"typescript": {
"command": "typescript-language-server",
"args": ["--stdio"]
},
"python": {
"command": "pylsp",
"args": []
}
}
}How this works:
- command: The executable for the LSP server
- args: Arguments required to start the server, commonly
--stdio - You can add multiple LSP servers depending on the languages in your project
Kodezi automatically launches these servers when needed.
Capabilities
Once enabled, the LSP integration provides:
-
Automatic Language Detection: Kodezi identifies the correct LSP server based on file type (e.g.,
*.ts→ TypeScript LSP). -
On Demand Initialization: LSP servers start only when required, reducing overhead.
-
Graceful Fallback: If an LSP server is missing:
- Kodezi continues functioning normally
- You will not experience errors or crashes
-
Continuous Diagnostics: Errors and warnings update live as you:
- Edit files
- Add or remove code
- Change dependencies
This makes LSP an essential enhancement for any serious development workflow.
