πŸ’‘ Examples

export LSP_WORKSPACE=/path/to/repo
Python

lsp-query symbols src/model.py
lsp-query hover src/model.py 42 10
lsp-query references src/model.py 42 10
TypeScript (auto-detected from .ts extension)

lsp-query symbols src/index.ts
lsp-query definition src/app.tsx 15 8
Rust

lsp-query symbols src/main.rs
lsp-query diagnostics src/lib.rs
Check what's available

lsp-query languages
lsp-query servers

βš™οΈ Configuration

Set LSP_WORKSPACE to the repo root before querying. If unset, defaults to the git root or cwd.

πŸ“‹ Tips & Best Practices

  • "Server not found for X": The language server binary isn't installed. The error message includes the install command.
  • "could not connect to LSP daemon": Daemon failed to start. Verify Python 3.10+ is available.
  • Import errors in diagnostics: Expected when packages aren't installed in the current Python environment. These resolve on machines with the correct venv.
  • Stale results: Run lsp-query shutdown to restart all servers fresh.
  • Slow first query per language: Each server takes 1-2 seconds to cold-start. Subsequent queries to the same language are ~200ms.
  • Wrong language detected: Use LSP_LANG=rust lsp-query symbols myfile to force.
