LSP Servers

OpenCode can integrate with your Language Server Protocol (LSP) to help the LLM interact with your codebase. It uses diagnostics to provide feedback to the LLM.

---

Built-in

OpenCode comes with several built-in LSP servers for popular languages:

When LSP is enabled, servers start when one of the above file extensions is detected and the requirements are met.

Note

You can disable automatic LSP server downloads by setting the OPENCODE_DISABLE_LSP_DOWNLOAD environment variable to true.

---

How It Works

When LSP is enabled and opencode opens a file, it:

1. Checks the file extension against all enabled LSP servers.
2. Starts the appropriate LSP server if not already running.

---

Configure

You can enable and customize LSP servers through the lsp section in your opencode config.

To enable all built-in LSP servers, set lsp to true.

opencode.json

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

Use an object to keep built-ins enabled while configuring overrides or custom servers.

opencode.json

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

Each configured LSP server entry supports the following:

Server entries need command unless they only disable a server.

Property	Type	Description
disabled	boolean	Set this to true to disable the LSP server
command	string[]	The command to start the LSP server
extensions	string[]	File extensions this LSP server should handle
env	object	Environment variables to set when starting server
initialization	object	Initialization options to send to the LSP server

Let’s look at some examples.

---

Environment variables

Use the env property to set environment variables when starting the LSP server:

opencode.json

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "lsp": {
    "rust": {
      "command": ["rust-analyzer"],
      "env": {
        "RUST_LOG": "debug"
      }
    }
  }
}

---

Initialization options

Use the initialization property to pass initialization options to the LSP server. These are server-specific settings sent during the LSP initialize request:

opencode.json

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "lsp": {
    "custom-lsp": {
      "command": ["custom-lsp-server", "--stdio"],
      "extensions": [".custom"],
      "initialization": {
        "preferences": {
          "importModuleSpecifierPreference": "relative"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Note

Initialization options vary by LSP server. Check your LSP server’s documentation for available options.

---

Disabling LSP servers

If lsp is omitted, all LSP servers are disabled. To disable all LSP servers after another config enabled them, set lsp to false:

opencode.json

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

To disable a specific LSP server, set disabled to true:

opencode.json

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

---

Custom LSP servers

You can add custom LSP servers by specifying the command and file extensions:

opencode.json

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "lsp": {
    "custom-lsp": {
      "command": ["custom-lsp-server", "--stdio"],
      "extensions": [".custom"]
    }
  }
}

Additional Information

PHP Intelephense

PHP Intelephense offers premium features through a license key. You can provide a license key by placing (only) the key in a text file at:

• On macOS/Linux: $HOME/intelephense/license.txt
• On Windows: %USERPROFILE%/intelephense/license.txt

The file should contain only the license key with no additional content.
