关于 Vim MCP Server

An MCP server for driving Vim. Connect your coding agent to show you changed files in Vim, or get it to advise you on the code in your open buffers. Can also set your quickfix/location list to direct you to multiple points in your code.

What is Vim MCP Server?

Vim MCP Server is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server embedded in Vim that exposes tools over HTTP. It lets MCP-compatible clients—such as AI coding agents—read and modify buffers, move the cursor, retrieve visual selections, manage quickfix and location lists, open side-by-side diffs, read message history, and run Ex commands.

How to use Vim MCP Server?

Install the plugin using your preferred Vim plugin manager (e.g., vim‑plug, Vundle, or manual clone). Start the server in Vim with :McpServerStart (default port 8765). Optionally, set g:mcp_server_autostart = 1 in your vimrc to start it automatically. Point your MCP client at http://127.0.0.1:8765/mcp.

Key features of Vim MCP Server

  • List, read, edit, open, save, and close buffers.
  • Get and set cursor position.
  • Retrieve the current visual selection.
  • Run arbitrary Ex commands (opt‑in).
  • Manage quickfix and location lists.
  • Read Vim message history.
  • Show a side‑by‑side diff view in a new tab.

Use cases of Vim MCP Server

  • AI coding agents that inspect and modify Vim buffers programmatically.
  • Automating buffer navigation and editing via MCP‑compatible tools.
  • Integrating Vim’s quickfix and location lists into external workflows.
  • Retrieving Vim’s message history for debugging or logging.

常见问题

1

What are the Vim requirements?

Vim must be compiled with `+python3`.

2

How do I start and stop the server?

Use `:McpServerStart [port]` to start and `:McpServerStop` to stop. Check status with `:McpServerStatus`.

3

Which tools are opt‑in and how do I enable them?

`execute_command`, `save_buffer`, and `edit_buffer` are disabled by default. Enable them by setting `g:mcp_server_allow_execute`, `g:mcp_server_allow_save`, or `g:mcp_server_allow_edit` to `1` in your `vimrc`.

4

How do I configure an MCP client for this server?

Set the client to connect to `http://127.0.0.1:8765/mcp`. For example, in OpenCode’s `opencode.jsonc` add the server with `"type": "remote"` and the URL.

5

How can I read‑only tools in OpenCode plan mode?

In `opencode.jsonc` under `agent.plan.tools`, disable all `vim_*` tools and then re‑enable specific read‑only ones like `vim_list_buffers`, `vim_get_buffer`, etc.
