SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires @modelcontextprotocol/sdk, langium-ai-tools, zod, langium.

What problem does it solve?

It helps you expose a Langium DSL’s real parser and validator as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool, so AI assistants can reliably check DSL code and return structured diagnostics instead of guessing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate an MCP server for any Langium DSL: Produces a ready-to-run validate tool that evaluates in-memory DSL code using your actual Langium services.
  • Return real diagnostics from parser + validator: Surfaces errors, warnings, hints, and information with line/column context for fast feedback loops.
  • Support integration into AI workflows: Enables on-the-fly code validation from MCP-compatible clients such as Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code while an LLM iterates on generated DSL programs.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to generate an MCP server for your Langium DSL and place it in mcp/, then confirm the output path before file creation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate a Langium DSL from an MCP-compatible AI client?

You validate a Langium DSL by generating an MCP server that exposes your parser and validator as a callable `validate` tool. This allows MCP-compatible clients like Claude Code or Cursor to evaluate DSL code and return structured diagnostics.

What diagnostics does a Langium MCP server return when validating DSL code?

A Langium MCP server returns real parser and validator diagnostics, including errors, warnings, hints, and information. Each diagnostic includes line and column context to provide fast feedback during AI-assisted DSL authoring.

Can I use Langium DSL validation with an LLM agent for iterative code generation?

Yes, you can use Langium DSL validation with an LLM agent by integrating the generated MCP server into your workflow. The agent calls the `validate` tool during self-check loops to get immediate feedback on generated DSL programs.

How to set up an MCP server for a Langium DSL project?

To set up an MCP server for a Langium DSL, ask the agent to generate the server using your Langium services and place it in the `mcp/` directory. It requires YAML frontmatter metadata compliance and an EmptyFileSystem setup for in-memory evaluation.

Does Langium MCP validation work with TypeScript and zod schemas?

Yes, Langium MCP validation works with TypeScript and uses zod to validate the input schema. It integrates the MCP SDK to expose the Langium parser and validator for real-time diagnostics.

What is the best way to expose a Langium validator to an AI assistant?

The best way to expose a Langium validator to an AI assistant is through a Model Context Protocol server. This approach surfaces your actual Langium services so the assistant can reliably check DSL code instead of guessing.
