multilspy is a lsp client library in Python intended to be used to build applications around language servers.

What it solves

multilspy is a Python library that simplifies the process of interacting with various language servers via the Language Server Protocol (LSP). It removes the complexity of manually managing server binaries, JSON-RPC communication, and language-specific configurations, providing a unified API for static analysis of code repositories across multiple programming languages.

How it works

The library acts as a client that communicates with language servers (such as JDTLS for Java or Rust Analyzer for Rust). It automatically handles the downloading of platform-specific binaries and the setup/teardown of the servers. By providing a common interface, it allows users to perform queries like finding symbol definitions, references, and type-based completions regardless of the underlying language server being used.

Who it’s for

It is primarily designed for developers building AI-driven coding tools, such as those implementing Monitor-Guided Decoding (MGD) to ensure LLM-generated code is syntactically and semantically correct, or developers creating repository-level coding agents.

Highlights

  • Multi-language support: Supports a wide range of languages including Java, Python, Rust, C#, TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, Dart, Ruby, Kotlin, PHP, and C++.
  • Unified API: Provides a simple interface for common LSP requests like request_definition, request_completions, and request_hover.
  • Async Support: Offers both synchronous and asyncio-based APIs for integration into different execution contexts.
  • Automated Management: Handles the lifecycle of language server binaries and server-specific configuration parameters.
