Neovim MCP server

This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to Neovim, the text editor many developers use. Once it is set up, your AI can look at the files you have open, check for problems in your code, and help you fix them. It is handy if you already edit code in Neovim and want your AI to see the same thing you see.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI a question about your code, like what is wrong in this file. The AI passes that request to this helper program. The helper talks to your running Neovim editor and asks it for the file contents, the warnings, or the error messages. Neovim sends that information back, and the helper hands it to your AI. Your AI then explains what it found or suggests a fix, right in the chat.

What you can do with it

• Look at the file you currently have open in Neovim
• List the warnings and errors Neovim is showing for your code
• Explain what a piece of code does using the editor's own language tools
• Suggest fixes for problems Neovim has flagged
• Work with several Neovim windows or projects at the same time
• Find a file by its name or its path

Try asking your AI

• “What errors does Neovim show in the file I have open right now?”
• “Explain what this function does and where it is used.”
• “Help me fix the warnings in my current file.”
• “Show me the diagnostics for this project and suggest what to do first.”

What it gives back to you

You get answers in plain chat text: explanations, lists of warnings and errors, and suggested fixes. If your AI changes something, it tells you what it changed. The information comes from your real editor, so it matches what you see on screen.

Who it's for

Developers and anyone who writes code in Neovim and wants their AI assistant to see the same files and warnings they do.
