Claude Code gets native LSP support

I am super bullish on claude code / codex cli + LSP and other deterministic codemode and code intelligence tools.

I was playing around with codex this weekend and honestly having a great time (my opinion of it has 180'd since gpt-5.2(-codex) came out) but I was getting annoyed at it because it kept missing references when I asked it to rename or move symbols. So I built a skill that teaches it to use rope for mechanical python codebase refactors: https://github.com/brian-yu/python-rope-refactor

Been pretty happy with it so far!

It's strangely difficult to find official information about this, but here's what I've learned:

• Use `/plugin` to open Claude Code's plug-in manager

• In the Discover tab, enter `lsp` in the search box

• Use `spacebar` to enable the ones you want, then `i` to install

Hope that helps!

My favourite agent crush[0] has lsp support for a while.

I’ve not noticed the agent deciding to use it all that much.

It’s breathtaking how fast Anthropic / Claude Code team ships.

They are definitely coding in a LLM maximalist way, in a good way.

This is an ignorant question, but, what is the benefit of this if you also have your project open in an editor or IDE (presuming they integrate language server?)

If you're vibe coding without an editor, would this have any benefits to code quality over a test suite and the standard linter for a language?
