Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Jan 28, 2026 by kyle-tpc Closed Feb 28, 2026

Description

The LSP plugin (vtsls@claude-code-lsps) works correctly in the CLI but is not available in the VSCode extension.

Environment

  • Claude Code version: 2.1.21
  • OS: macOS (Darwin 25.2.0)
  • VSCode extension: Native

Configuration

~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "env": {
    "ENABLE_LSP_TOOL": "1"
  },
  "enabledPlugins": {
    "vtsls@claude-code-lsps": true
  }
}

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Configure LSP plugin in ~/.claude/settings.json as shown above
  2. Use Claude Code CLI - LSP tool (e.g., "Go to Definition") works correctly
  3. Use Claude Code VSCode extension - LSP tool is not available in the tool list

Expected Behavior

The LSP plugin should be available in both CLI and VSCode extension since they share the same settings file.

Actual Behavior

  • CLI: LSP plugin works ✅
  • VSCode extension: LSP plugin not loaded ❌

The VSCode extension does not seem to load plugins from the settings, even after restarting VSCode.
