LSP Servers (installed via Mason)

Server	Language
lua-language-server	Lua
basedpyright	Python
clangd	C / C++
typescript-language-server (ts_ls)	TypeScript / JavaScript
css-lsp	CSS
html-lsp	HTML

LSP Servers — Manual Install (No Mason)

Clone or download releases directly from GitHub, build/install per each repo's README, then either put the binary on your PATH or set the machine-specific path in machine.json for servers that use lua/machine.lua (basedpyright and clangd in the current config).

Server	GitHub	Notes
lua-language-server	https://github.com/LuaLS/lua-language-server	Pre-built releases available; add bin/ to PATH
basedpyright	https://github.com/DetachHead/basedpyright	Install via pip install basedpyright; lsp/basedpyright.lua can also read the binary path from machine.json key basedpyright
clangd	https://github.com/clangd/clangd	Pre-built releases available; part of LLVM toolchain; lsp/clangd.lua can also read the binary path from machine.json key clangd
typescript-language-server	https://github.com/typescript-language-server/typescript-language-server	Requires Node.js; build from source with npm install
css-lsp + html-lsp	https://github.com/hrsh7th/vscode-langservers-extracted	Both servers come from this single repo; requires Node.js

:LspRestart currently does a stop-then-deferred-start cycle and may hit timing issues on some buffers or roots. If a restart looks incomplete, use :LspStop and then :LspStart separately.

:LspToggleDiagnostic switches virtual_text.current_line and underline state, but custom virtual_text settings may need to be re-applied manually after toggling.

Formatters & Linters (installed via Mason)

Tool	Purpose
stylua	Lua formatter
prettier	JS / TS / CSS / HTML formatter
ruff	Python formatter / import sorter
clang-format	C / C++ formatter

Formatters & Linters — Manual Install (No Mason)

Same rule: build from source or grab a release binary, put it on PATH. conform.nvim and nvim-lint will pick it up automatically.

Tool	GitHub	Notes
stylua	https://github.com/JohnnyMorganz/StyLua	Pre-built releases available for all platforms
prettier	https://github.com/prettier/prettier	Requires Node.js; build from source with npm install
ruff	https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff	Requires Python; install with pip install ruff from source or release
clang-format	https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project	Pre-built releases available; part of LLVM toolchain
markdownlint	https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint-cli	Requires Node.js; install with npm install so nvim-lint can lint Markdown

DAP Adapters (installed via Mason)

Adapter	GitHub
codelldb	https://github.com/vadimcn/codelldb
debugpy	https://github.com/microsoft/debugpy

DAP Adapters — Manual Install (No Mason)

lua/plugins/debug.lua configures mason-nvim-dap.nvim to install both codelldb and debugpy. Without Mason, install from GitHub and point nvim-dap's adapter config at the binary.

Adapter	GitHub	Notes
codelldb	https://github.com/vadimcn/codelldb	Pre-built releases available; point nvim-dap at the adapter executable if needed
debugpy (Python)	https://github.com/microsoft/debugpy	Install with pip install debugpy; with Mason, nvim-dap-python uses the Mason debugpy virtualenv first and falls back to the system Python if the Mason package is missing

Verify that the Python interpreter selected for debugging matches the current workspace, especially when Mason is installed but the project expects a different virtualenv.

Debugging (DAP)

nvim-dap	https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap

nvim-dap-virtual-text	https://github.com/theHamsta/nvim-dap-virtual-text

Current DAP setup auto-installs codelldb and debugpy through Mason; Python debugging is wired through nvim-dap-python, which prefers Mason's debugpy environment and falls back to the system Python when the Mason package is unavailable.

---

Language Specific

Plugin	GitHub
cmake-tools.nvim	https://github.com/Civitasv/cmake-tools.nvim
Unreal-Nvim	https://github.com/PlayKigai/Unreal-Nvim

lua/plugins/unreal.lua now auto-initializes Unreal-Nvim when opening *.uproject, *.uplugin, *.Build.cs, or *.Target.cs files, and also when opening C/C++ files inside a working directory that contains a .uproject. This covers the common Unreal entry points, but edge cases may still need a manual :Unreal command.
