Claude Code gets native LSP support

It's strangely difficult to find official information about this, but here's what I've learned: • Use `/plugin` to open Claude Code's plug-in manager • In the Discover tab, enter `lsp` in the search box • Use `spacebar` to enable the ones you want, then `i` to install Hope that helps!

Have you figured out what triggers it?

Thanks! I saw typescript-lsp in the plugins list, but I wasn't sure if that was related.

This is an ignorant question, but, what is the benefit of this if you also have your project open in an editor or IDE (presuming they integrate language server?)

If you're vibe coding without an editor, would this have any benefits to code quality over a test suite and the standard linter for a language?

My favourite agent crush[0] has lsp support for a while. I’ve not noticed the agent deciding to use it all that much. [0] https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush

Did it make no difference when you mentioned in your AGENT.md which LSP servers are installed?

Your test suite and linter don't code. They don't help your agent look up definitions of variables, etc.

It’s breathtaking how fast Anthropic / Claude Code team ships.

They are definitely coding in a LLM maximalist way, in a good way.

I guess supporting tool call natively would improve read token efficiency since they can just run the tool directly
