{"library":"typescript-language-server","type":"library","category":null,"description":"The TypeScript Language Server provides a Language Server Protocol (LSP) implementation for TypeScript and JavaScript projects, acting as a bridge between editors and Microsoft's `tsserver` component. It allows any LSP-compliant editor to leverage the rich code intelligence features originally developed for VSCode, which internally uses `tsserver` via a non-standard API. This project wraps that functionality in a standard LSP interface, making it accessible to a wider ecosystem of editors. The current stable version is 5.1.3, released in November 2025, with a consistent cadence of patch and minor updates following its major v5.0.0 release in September 2025. Key differentiators include its role in standardizing `tsserver` access via LSP and its community-maintained status, separate from Microsoft's official tooling. Developers should note that while it uses `tsserver`, it is not the same as the built-in TypeScript features extension in VSCode, and a future, Go-based TypeScript 7 from Microsoft may eventually offer a native LSP implementation that could supersede this project.","language":"javascript","status":"active","version":"5.1.3","tags":["javascript"],"last_verified":"Wed May 27","install":[{"cmd":"npm install typescript-language-server","imports":["npm install -g typescript-language-server typescript\ntypescript-language-server --stdio","npm install -g typescript","(Managed by LSP client through `workspace/didChangeConfiguration` and other LSP messages)"]},{"cmd":"yarn add typescript-language-server","imports":[]},{"cmd":"pnpm add typescript-language-server","imports":[]}],"homepage":"https://typescript-language-server.dev","github":"https://github.com/typescript-language-server/typescript-language-server","docs":null,"changelog":null,"pypi":null,"npm":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/typescript-language-server","openapi_spec":null,"status_page":null,"smithery":null,"compatibility":{"summary":{"python_range":"18–22","success_rate":0,"avg_install_s":null,"avg_import_s":null,"wheel_type":null},"url":"https://checklist.day/v1/registry/typescript-language-server/compatibility"}}
