概览

What is mcpserver.nvim?

mcpserver.nvim is a Neovim plugin that implements an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, allowing external MCP clients to interact with Neovim through a Unix socket. It provides tools such as get_buffer_content to fetch the contents of the current buffer.

How to use mcpserver.nvim?

Install with lazy.nvim; the server starts automatically on VimEnter. Use :MCPServerStart and :MCPServerStop to control the server manually. External clients can connect to the Unix socket at /tmp/nvim-mcp-server-<PID>.sock or use the standalone stdio server (lua standalone.lua) for JSON‑RPC communication.

Key features of mcpserver.nvim

Implements a full MCP server inside Neovim
Provides get_buffer_content tool returning filename, content, and line count
Creates a unique Unix socket per Neovim process (PID‑based)
Standalone stdio server for external MCP clients
Supports JSON‑RPC protocol over socket or stdio
Simple :MCPServerStart and :MCPServerStop commands

Use cases of mcpserver.nvim

Connect AI coding assistants to Neovim via MCP protocol
Extract buffer content from Neovim for external processing
Automate editor interactions using external MCP clients
Run multiple Neovim instances with separate isolated MCP servers

常见问题

Where does the socket file get created?

The Unix socket is created at `/tmp/nvim-mcp-server-<PID>.sock`, where `<PID>` is the Neovim process ID.

Can multiple Neovim instances run an MCP server at the same time?

Yes, because each socket is named with the unique process ID, multiple instances can coexist without conflict.

What data does `get_buffer_content` return?

It returns a JSON object containing `filename` (file path), `content` (full text of the buffer), and `line_count` (number of lines).

How do I use the server with a stdio‑based MCP client?

Run `lua standalone.lua` to start the stdio server. It automatically finds a running Neovim MCP socket or accepts a path as an argument.

What are the runtime requirements?

Neovim with Lua support is required. The standalone mode additionally needs `netcat` (`nc`) installed on the system.
