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 `$env:OS` / `%OS%`) to determine macOS, Linux, or Windows
3. **Look up the LSP server** — read `references/lsp-servers.md` for known servers, install commands, and config snippets
4. **Ask scope** — use `ask_user` to ask whether the config should be user-level (`~/.copilot/lsp-config.json`) or repo-level (`.github/lsp.json`)
4. **Ask scope** — use `ask_user` to ask whether the config should be user-level (`~/.copilot/lsp-config.json`) or repo-level (`lsp.json` at the repo root or `.github/lsp.json`)
5. **Install the server** — run the appropriate install command for the detected OS
6. **Write the config** — merge the new server entry into the chosen config file (`~/.copilot/lsp-config.json` for user-level, `.github/lsp.json` for repo-level); create it if missing, preserve existing entries
6. **Write the config** — merge the new server entry into the chosen config file (`~/.copilot/lsp-config.json` for user-level; `lsp.json` or `.github/lsp.json` for repo-level). If a repo-level config already exists, keep using that location; otherwise ask the user which repo-level location they prefer. Create the file if missing and preserve existing entries.
7. **Verify** — confirm the LSP binary is on `$PATH` and the config file is valid JSON
## Configuration Format
Copilot CLI reads LSP configuration from two locations (repo-level takes precedence):
Copilot CLI reads LSP configuration from user-level or repo-level locations, and repo-level config takes precedence over user-level config:
- **User-level**: `~/.copilot/lsp-config.json`
- **Repo-level**: `.github/lsp.json`
- **Repo-level**: `lsp.json` (repo root) or `.github/lsp.json`
The JSON structure:
