A Language Server Protocol implementation for Kotlin providing code completion, diagnostics, hover info, document symbols, and definition lookup to any LSP-conformant editor. It wraps the Kotlin compiler's internal APIs and resolves dependencies via Maven or Gradle.

Use cases

  • add Kotlin autocomplete to vim or emacs
  • get Kotlin diagnostics in any LSP editor
  • Kotlin language server for VSCode
  • go to definition for Kotlin code outside IntelliJ
  • hover and signature help for Kotlin in lightweight editors

When to choose

  • you use an editor without native Kotlin support and want LSP features
  • you need a lightweight alternative to IntelliJ for Kotlin editing

When to avoid

  • starting a new setup — the official JetBrains kotlin-lsp now exists and this project is deprecated
  • you need actively maintained, bug-free Kotlin tooling
