The fastest Solidity language server — optimized for low-latency go-to-definition/declaration, references, hover, completions, and file operations. See [benchmarks](https://github.com/mmsaki/lsp-bench).
## Install
```sh
### Alternative: Install from Cargo
```sh
cargo install solidity-language-server

### Claude Code Skills
The [`asyncswap/skills`](https://github.com/asyncswap/skills) marketplace ships two plugins that drive this LSP from Claude Code:
```
/plugin marketplace add asyncswap/skills
/plugin install solidity-language-server@asyncswap
/plugin install lsp-bench@asyncswap
```
**`solidity-language-server`** — LSP-augmented analysis skills:
**`lsp-bench`** — write [lsp-bench](https://github.com/asyncswap/lsp-bench) YAML configs for performance benchmarks, response assertions, multi-file consistency checks, file-edit sequences, lifecycle tests, and side-by-side LSP version comparisons. Schema-style reference for every supported LSP method.
