What it is

lua-lsp is a plugin from the official Claude Code plugins repository. It provides a Lua language server for Claude Code, adding code intelligence and diagnostics when working with Lua source code. The plugin supports files with the .lua extension. It relies on the lua-language-server program, which must be installed separately. The README gives installation commands for macOS through Homebrew and for several Linux distributions (Ubuntu/Debian via snap, Arch Linux, and Fedora). Pre-built binaries can also be downloaded from the LuaLS releases page. The underlying language server is the LuaLS project (github.com/LuaLS/lua-language-server). Its documentation is at luals.github.io.
