# LSP Setup for GitHub Copilot CLI
**UTILITY SKILL** — installs and configures Language Server Protocol servers for Copilot CLI.
USE FOR: "setup LSP", "install language server", "configure LSP for Java", "add TypeScript LSP", "enable code intelligence"
DO NOT USE FOR: general coding tasks, IDE/editor LSP configuration, non-Copilot-CLI setups
## Workflow
1. **Ask the language** — use `ask_user` to ask which programming language(s) the user wants LSP support for
2. **Detect the OS** — run `uname -s` (or check for Windows via `$env:OS` / `%OS%`) to determine macOS, Linux, or Windows
3. **Look up the LSP server** — read `references/lsp-servers.md` for known servers, install commands, and config snippets
4. **Ask scope** — use `ask_user` to ask whether the config should be user-level (`~/.copilot/lsp-config.json`) or repo-level (`.github/lsp.json`)
5. **Install the server** — run the appropriate install command for the detected OS
6. **Write the config** — merge the new server entry into the chosen config file (`~/.copilot/lsp-config.json` for user-level, `.github/lsp.json` for repo-level); create it if missing, preserve existing entries
7. **Verify** — confirm the LSP binary is on `$PATH` and the config file is valid JSON
## Configuration Format
Copilot CLI reads LSP configuration from two locations (repo-level takes precedence):
- **User-level**: `~/.copilot/lsp-config.json`
- **Repo-level**: `.github/lsp.json`
The JSON structure:
```json
{
"lspServers": {
"<server-key>": {
"command": "<binary>",
"args": ["--stdio"],
"fileExtensions": {
".<ext>": "<languageId>",
".<ext2>": "<languageId>"
}
}
}
}
```
### Key rules
- `command` is the binary name (must be on `$PATH`) or an absolute path.
- `args` almost always includes `"--stdio"` to use standard I/O transport.
- `fileExtensions` maps each file extension (with leading dot) to a [Language ID](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/identifiers#_known-language-identifiers).
- Multiple servers can coexist in `lspServers`.
- When merging into an existing file, **never overwrite** other server entries — only add or update the target language key.
## Behavior
- Always use `ask_user` with `choices` when asking the user to pick a language or scope.
- If the language is not listed in `references/lsp-servers.md`, search the web for "<language> LSP server" and guide the user through manual configuration.
- If a package manager is not available (e.g. no Homebrew on macOS), suggest alternative install methods from the reference file.
- After installation, run `which <binary>` (or `where.exe` on Windows) to confirm the binary is accessible.
- Show the user the final config JSON before writing it.
- If the config file already exists, read it first and merge — do not clobber.
## Verification
After setup, tell the user:
1. Launch `copilot` in a project with files of the configured language
2. Run `/lsp` to check the server status
3. Try code intelligence features like go-to-definition or hover

# Known LSP Servers for Copilot CLI
Reference data for the `lsp-setup` skill. Each section contains install commands per OS and a ready-to-use config snippet.
> **Config snippet format**: Each snippet below shows the object to insert as a value under the top-level `lspServers` key. A complete config file looks like: `{ "lspServers": { <snippet here> } }`. When adding multiple languages, merge their snippets as sibling keys under `lspServers`.
---
## TypeScript / JavaScript
**Server**: [typescript-language-server](https://github.com/typescript-language-server/typescript-language-server)
### Install
| OS | Command |
|---------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| Any | `npm install -g typescript typescript-language-server` |
### Config snippet
```json
{
"typescript": {
"command": "typescript-language-server",
"args": ["--stdio"],
"fileExtensions": {
".ts": "typescript",
".tsx": "typescriptreact",
".js": "javascript",
".jsx": "javascriptreact"
}
}
}
```
---
## Java
**Server**: [Eclipse JDT Language Server (jdtls)](https://github.com/eclipse-jdtls/eclipse.jdt.ls)
Requires **Java 21+** on `JAVA_HOME` or `$PATH`.
### Install
| OS | Command |
|---------|-----------------------------------|
| macOS | `brew install jdtls` |
| Linux | Check distro repos for `jdtls` or `eclipse.jdt.ls`; alternatively download from https://download.eclipse.org/jdtls/milestones/ |
| Windows | Download from https://download.eclipse.org/jdtls/milestones/ and add `bin/` to `PATH` |
On macOS with Homebrew, the binary is installed as `jdtls` on `$PATH`.
### Config snippet
```json
{
"java": {
"command": "jdtls",
"args": [],
"fileExtensions": {
".java": "java"
}
}
}
```
> **Note**: The `jdtls` wrapper script handles `--stdio` mode internally. If using a manual install, you may need to invoke the launcher jar directly — see the [jdtls README](https://github.com/eclipse-jdtls/eclipse.jdt.ls#running-from-command-line-with-wrapper-script) for details.
