Interesting, so an LSP MCP like this?: https://github.com/isaacphi/mcp-language-server Also interesting note on the docs, though, Claude does try to use cargo doc by itself sometimes. I was actually wondering why GritQL did not have an MCP, this seems like a natural fit. Would be interested to know if this works for you. I'm always a bit hesitant to add things to the long term context as it feels very finicky to not have it be ignored and having more seems to make it more likely to be ignored. Instead I usually just repeat myself. Thank you for the answer, seems there is still lots of things to try.

Show HN: Language Server MCP Server Written in Go

I had this idea as soon as MCP came out because I wasn't satisfied with the way AI tools deal with searching through code. The precision and correctness of language servers seemed to be a good compliment to the fuzziness of LLMs. LSP was also an inspiration for MCP so I wanted to jam them together. I had also just picked up Go and was looking for a project to dig into a little more. It took while but it's finally working OK. I like like it so I wanted to share and ask for feedback if anyone's interested :)
