Use in Codex
After adding the marketplace, install this plugin and start a new Codex conversation.
codex plugin add 'lua-lsp@codex-plugin-ports'
Ask Codex to use the lua language-server tools for your project. Call lsp_start with the absolute project root and poll lsp_status if initialization is pending. Queries use saved files and zero-based UTF-16 positions. The available features and indexing behavior depend on the native server.
Open trusted workspaces. A native language server can run build or project tools while indexing. Stop the workspace with lsp_stop when you finish or before starting another workspace.
Upstream and changes
Adapted from Anthropic's lua-lsp under the Apache License 2.0. This port keeps the upstream file mappings and uses a local MCP bridge to start the language server and query it from Codex.
