LSP

Language Server Protocol (LSP) integrations can provide code diagnostics, symbols, definitions, references, and other language-aware context.

Built-in servers

There are no built-in LSP servers in the current V2 implementation. Setting lsp to true declares that built-ins should be enabled, but has no runtime effect until V2 provides a server registry and LSP runtime.

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "lsp": true
}

Configuration

The lsp field accepts a boolean or an object keyed by server name:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "lsp": {
    "custom-typescript": {
      "command": ["typescript-language-server", "--stdio"],
      "extensions": [".ts", ".tsx"],
      "env": {
        "TSS_LOG": "-level verbose"
      },
      "initialization": {
        "preferences": {
          "importModuleSpecifierPreference": "relative"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Each enabled server entry has this shape:

Property Type Required Description
command string[] Yes Executable followed by any arguments.
extensions string[] No File extensions associated with the server, including the leading dot.
disabled boolean No Disables the entry when true.
env Record<string, string> No Environment variables for the server process. The property is named env, not environment.
initialization Record<string, unknown> No Server-specific options for the LSP initialize request.

The only entry that may omit command is the disable-only form:

{
  "lsp": {
    "typescript": {
      "disabled": true
    }
  }
}

Server names are arbitrary. The V2 schema permits extensions to be omitted, including for a custom server, although a future runtime will need a way to associate that server with files.

Disable LSP

Omit lsp when no configuration is needed. Set it to false to explicitly disable the whole integration, including when a lower-priority configuration set it to true or supplied an object:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "lsp": false
}

Use { "disabled": true } under a server name to disable one server while retaining the object form. OPENCODE_DISABLE_LSP_DOWNLOAD is not used by V2; V2 currently performs no automatic LSP downloads.

Current usage

V2 loads and validates the configuration shape for compatibility and future integration. It does not currently use LSP when reading, writing, editing, or patching files, and those tools do not notify a language server or return LSP diagnostics.

For reliable feedback today, have the agent run the project’s lint, typecheck, test, or compiler commands. Record those commands in an AGENTS.md file or a skill so the agent knows when and where to run them.
