## What it is
A Neovim plugin that integrates Anthropic's Claude Code AI coding assistant into Neovim via a pure Lua WebSocket MCP implementation. It reverse-engineers the official VS Code/JetBrains extension protocol to provide the same AI-powered editing experience.

## Use cases
- use claude code inside neovim
- send selected code to claude from my editor
- add files from nvim-tree to claude context
- review and accept AI-generated diffs in neovim
- toggle a claude code side panel in neovim
- resume a previous claude code session
- switch claude models from within the editor

## When to choose
- you use Neovim as your primary editor and want Claude Code integration
- you want a dependency-free pure Lua implementation
- you want to learn or build your own MCP-based editor integrations

## When to avoid
- you use VS Code or JetBrains, which have official extensions
- you need a stable, officially supported integration rather than a beta community plugin
- you don't use Neovim 0.8+

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
