title: LSP Servers
description: OpenCode integrates with your LSP servers.
---

OpenCode integrates with your Language Server Protocol (LSP) to help the LLM interact with your codebase. It uses diagnostics to provide feedback to the LLM.

---

## Built-in

OpenCode comes with several built-in LSP servers for popular languages:

LSP servers are automatically enabled when one of the above file extensions are detected and the requirements are met.

:::note
You can disable automatic LSP server downloads by setting the `OPENCODE_DISABLE_LSP_DOWNLOAD` environment variable to `true`.

## How It Works

When opencode opens a file, it:

1. Checks the file extension against all enabled LSP servers.
2. Starts the appropriate LSP server if not already running.

---

## Configure

You can customize LSP servers through the `lsp` section in your opencode config.

```json title="opencode.json"
{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "lsp": {}
}
```

Each LSP server supports the following:

| Property         | Type     | Description                                       |
| ---------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| `disabled`       | boolean  | Set this to `true` to disable the LSP server      |
| `command`        | string[] | The command to start the LSP server               |
| `extensions`     | string[] | File extensions this LSP server should handle     |
| `env`            | object   | Environment variables to set when starting server |
| `initialization` | object   | Initialization options to send to the LSP server  |

Let's look at some examples.

---

### Disabling LSP servers

To disable **all** LSP servers globally, set `lsp` to `false`:

```json title="opencode.json" {3}
{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "lsp": false
}
```

To disable a **specific** LSP server, set `disabled` to `true`:

```json title="opencode.json" {5}
{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "lsp": {
    "typescript": {
      "disabled": true
    }
  }
}
```

---

### Custom LSP servers

You can add custom LSP servers by specifying the command and file extensions:

```json title="opencode.json" {4-7}
{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "lsp": {
    "custom-lsp": {
      "command": ["custom-lsp-server", "--stdio"],
      "extensions": [".custom"]
    }
  }
}
```

## Additional Information

### PHP Intelephense

PHP Intelephense offers premium features through a license key. You can provide a license key by placing (only) the key in a text file at:

- On macOS/Linux: `$HOME/intelephense/licence.txt`
- On Windows: `%USERPROFILE%/intelephense/licence.txt`

The file should contain only the license key with no additional content.
