@dreki-gg/pi-lsp

Language-agnostic code intelligence for pi via Language Server Protocol. Purely config-driven — you define which servers to use per project.

Install

pi install npm:@dreki-gg/pi-lsp

Tool

Single unified lsp tool with 11 operations:

Operation	Description	Required params
diagnostics	Type errors + lint warnings	filePath
hover	Type info and documentation	filePath, line, character
goToDefinition	Find where a symbol is defined	filePath, line, character
findReferences	Find all references to a symbol	filePath, line, character
goToImplementation	Find implementations of interface/abstract	filePath, line, character
documentSymbol	List all symbols in a file	filePath
workspaceSymbol	Search symbols across the workspace	query
prepareCallHierarchy	Get call hierarchy item at position	filePath, line, character
incomingCalls	Find callers of a function	filePath, line, character
outgoingCalls	Find callees of a function	filePath, line, character
codeActions	Quick fixes and refactoring suggestions	filePath, line, character

All line/character params are 1-indexed (matching the read tool output).

Configuration

Servers are configured via two config files (project overrides global):

File	Scope
~/.pi/agent/extensions/lsp/config.json	Global defaults
.pi/lsp.json	Project-local overrides

Example: TypeScript + oxlint

.pi/lsp.json:

{
  "lsp": {
    "typescript": {
      "command": ["typescript-language-server", "--stdio"],
      "extensions": [".ts", ".tsx", ".js", ".jsx", ".mjs", ".cjs", ".mts", ".cts"]
    }
  }
}

typescript-language-server automatically uses the project's local node_modules/typescript, so your project's TS version is always respected.

Adding other servers

.pi/lsp.json:

{
  "lsp": {
    "rust": {
      "command": ["rust-analyzer"],
      "extensions": [".rs"]
    },
    "python": {
      "command": ["pyright-langserver", "--stdio"],
      "extensions": [".py"],
      "initialization": {
        "python": { "analysis": { "typeCheckingMode": "basic" } }
      }
    }
  }
}

Disabling a server

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

Disabling all LSP

{
  "lsp": false
}

Server config options

Property	Type	Description
command	string[]	Command + args to spawn (e.g. ["rust-analyzer"])
extensions	string[]	File extensions with leading dot
disabled	boolean	Disable this server
env	object	Environment variables for the server process
initialization	object	Options sent during LSP initialize handshake

How it works

• Auto-detection: Servers are matched to files by extension. Multiple servers can handle the same extension.
• Routing: diagnostics aggregates from all matching servers. Other operations use the first server with the required capability.
• Lazy start: Servers spawn on first tool use, stay alive for the session.
• Config merge: Project .pi/lsp.json overrides global ~/.pi/agent/extensions/lsp/config.json.

Commands

Command	Description
/lsp	Show server status, detected servers, and extensions
/lsp-restart	Stop all servers (reinitialize on next tool use)
