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!

Yeah, I posted here because I was completely blindsided when my claude asked if I wanted to install a go lsp. I didnt even know that was a thing. A little googling led to this changelog from 3 days ago, but I was surprised I hadnt seen any previous mentions of this online (from either creators, anthropic, or HN posts).

I am disabling it for now since my flow is fine at the moment, I'll let others validate the usefulness first.

I am on the latest version of Claude Code and nothing comes up when I follow this and search for "mcp". Looks like this feature is quite undercooked at the moment. I'm hoping for a more straightforward way to enable this and ensure the LSP is being used by Claude in the future.

If you want to add custom lsps, they need to be wrapped in a Claude code plugin which is where the little bit of actual documentation can be found https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins-reference

Thanks! I saw typescript-lsp in the plugins list, but I wasn't sure if that was related.

Have you figured out what triggers it?
