Setup

  1. Install Go: Follow instructions at https://golang.org/doc/install
  2. Install or update this server: go install github.com/isaacphi/mcp-language-server@latest
  3. Install a language server: follow one of the guides below
  4. Configure your MCP client: follow one of the guides below

For Claude Desktop you will need to update the environment variables above based on your machine and username:</p> <ul> <li><code>PATH</code> needs to contain the path to <code>go</code> and to <code>gopls</code>. Get this with <code>echo $(which go):$(which gopls)</code></li> <li><code>GOPATH</code>, <code>GOCACHE</code>, and <code>GOMODCACHE</code> may be different on your machine. These are the defaults.</li> </ul> </div> </details> <details> <summary>Rust (rust-analyzer)</summary> <div> <p><strong>Install rust-analyzer</strong>: <code>rustup component add rust-analyzer</code></p> <p><strong>Configure your MCP client</strong>: This will be different but similar for each client.
