nvim-mcp
MCP server that connects AI agents to your running Neovim instance via msgpack-RPC — no plugins required.
nvim-mcp provides an MCP server that connects to a running Neovim session via its native msgpack-RPC socket, enabling AI agents to see the editor state, edit buffers in memory, run Vim commands, send keystrokes, query LSP diagnostics, and more. It works with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and other MCP-compatible clients. The tool is designed for safe, non-destructive operations with full undo support.
