vim-mcp

An MCP server that connects Claude Code to Vim or Neovim instances, allowing agents to query editor state (buffers, windows, cursor), execute Vim commands via natural language, search help documentation, and record macros. It operates by starting a Unix socket server that Vim instances connect to as clients.
