About nvim-mcp

nvim-mcp An MCP server that gives AI agents first-class access to your running Neovim session. It connects through Neovim's native msgpack-RPC socket — no plugins required. Works with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and any MCP-compatible client. What agents can do See what you see — editor mode, working directory, open buffers, window layout, cursor context, folds, selections, marks, and diagnostics. Edit buffers in memory — find-and-replace or full rewrites with immediate feedback and full undo support. Nothing touches disk until you save. Run any Vim command — , , , macros, or anything else you could type at the command line. Send keystrokes — navigate, enter insert mode, trigger mappings. Query LSP diagnostics — errors, warnings, and hints across one buffer or the whole session. Annotate code with highlights — colored extmarks to draw your attention to specific lines. Work with multiple instances — auto-discovers running sessions and connects to the right one. See multiple instances. Anything you can do in Neovim, the agent can too.
