## Search Terms language server protocol ## Suggestion > As the language server protocol ( https://github.com/Microsoft/language-server-protocol ) is getting more and more popularity and clients ( https://github.com/Microsoft/language-server-protocol/wiki/Protocol-Implementations ), it would be very useful to have the tsserver implement this protocol. This is a duplicate of issue #11274, which the OP closed because at that time, there existed two reasonable-looking LSP implementations for TypeScript. But the times have changed. The Theia IDE now uses a VS Code extension for its TypeScript needs, and in the last eighteen months, Sourcegraph's server has received exactly one update by a sentient person. There continue to be requests for LSP support within #11724 despite its Closed status. The OP has expressed no interest in revisiting the issue. ## Use Cases It would be useful to programmers who use TypeScript but don't use VS Code. ## Checklist My suggestion meets these guidelines: * [x] This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code * [x] This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code * [x] This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions * [x] This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, etc.) * [x] This feature would agree with the rest of [TypeScript's Design Goals](https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/TypeScript-Design-Goals).
