| 10 | ## Demo |
| 11 | |
| 12 | `mcp-language-server` helps MCP enabled clients navigate codebases more easily by giving them access semantic tools like get definition, references, rename, and diagnostics. |

| 16 | ## Setup |
| 17 | |
| 18 | 1. **Install Go**: Follow instructions at <https://golang.org/doc/install> |
| 19 | 2. **Install or update this server**: `go install github.com/isaacphi/mcp-language-server@latest` |
| 20 | 3. **Install a language server**: _follow one of the guides below_ |
| 21 | 4. **Configure your MCP client**: _follow one of the guides below_ |
