--- url: 'https://vixl.app/reference/managed-components.md' description: >- Language servers and CodeGraph that Vixl downloads or runs for you, including storage and how to turn them off. --- # Managed components Vixl downloads a catalog of language servers, and runs [CodeGraph](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@colbymchenry/codegraph) via npx. PATH-only catalog rows are not downloaded. Project-local linters have no managed installer. How to use language servers in the editor: [Language servers](/customize/language-servers). How the graph is used in chat: [Code graphs](/concepts/code-graphs). ## CodeGraph Package: `@colbymchenry/codegraph` (unpinned; npx fetches current). When you activate a project, Vixl starts CodeGraph for that root. If `codegraph.db` is missing it runs `npx -y @colbymchenry/codegraph init`. Rebuild from the Graph tab runs `index --force`. The MCP server is `npx -y @colbymchenry/codegraph serve --mcp --path {root}`. Indexes live under personal `.vixl/graphs/{sha256}/` (`codegraph.db`, `meta.json`, `_preload.cjs`), never in the repo. The folder name is the SHA-256 hex of the canonical absolute project root. Vixl sets `CODEGRAPH_TELEMETRY=0` so the package's own telemetry is off. It also sets `CODEGRAPH_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1`. This is the only telemetry-related string in the app. See [Privacy](/resources/privacy). There is no `settings.json` key to disable CodeGraph. It starts again the next time you activate the project. You can delete a stored index from Settings > Graphs (the next activate runs `init` again). Stop from the chat graph chip lasts until the next activate. A user `codegraph` entry in `mcp.json` is stripped. ## Language servers Vixl installs Installs go under personal `~/.vixl/lsp/{id}/{version}/`. npm servers also use a portable Node at `~/.vixl/runtime/node/`. State (enabled, disabled, command overrides) is personal `lsp.json`. When you activate a project, Vixl prefetches the default set (TypeScript / JavaScript, JSON, YAML, Markdown) if auto-download is on. Settings > LSP, **Install defaults** does the same. Install kinds: npm package, GitHub release (repo / tag / asset), HTTP archive, or `go install`. ### npm | Id | Packages | npm | | --- | --- | --- | | `typescript` | `typescript@7.0.2` | [typescript](https://www.npmjs.com/package/typescript) | | `typescript-classic` | `typescript-language-server@5.3.0`, `typescript@5.8.2` | [typescript-language-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/typescript-language-server) | | `json` | `vscode-langservers-extracted@4.10.0` | [vscode-langservers-extracted](https://www.npmjs.com/package/vscode-langservers-extracted) | | `yaml` | `yaml-language-server@1.17.0` | [yaml-language-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/yaml-language-server) | | `vue` | `@vue/language-server@3.3.9`, `@vue/typescript-plugin@3.3.9`, `typescript@5.8.2` | [@vue/language-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@vue/language-server) | | `python` | `pyright@1.1.414` | [pyright](https://www.npmjs.com/package/pyright) | | `bash` | `bash-language-server@5.4.3` | [bash-language-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bash-language-server) | | `html` | `vscode-langservers-extracted@4.10.0` | [vscode-langservers-extracted](https://www.npmjs.com/package/vscode-langservers-extracted) | | `css` | `vscode-langservers-extracted@4.10.0` | [vscode-langservers-extracted](https://www.npmjs.com/package/vscode-langservers-extracted) | | `tailwindcss` | `@tailwindcss/language-server@0.0.27` | [@tailwindcss/language-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tailwindcss/language-server) | | `svelte` | `svelte-language-server@0.17.10` | [svelte-language-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/svelte-language-server) | | `astro` | `@astrojs/language-server@2.15.4`, `typescript@5.8.2` | [@astrojs/language-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@astrojs/language-server) | | `prisma` | `@prisma/language-server@6.5.0` | [@prisma/language-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@prisma/language-server) | | `graphql` | `graphql-language-service-cli@3.5.0` | [graphql-language-service-cli](https://www.npmjs.com/package/graphql-language-service-cli) | | `dockerfile` | `dockerfile-language-server-nodejs@0.13.0` | [dockerfile-language-server-nodejs](https://www.npmjs.com/package/dockerfile-language-server-nodejs) | | `php` | `intelephense@1.14.4` | [intelephense](https://www.npmjs.com/package/intelephense) | `typescript-classic` is the Vue LS 3 hybrid install source.

Project-local linters `eslint`, `oxlint`, and `biome` have no managed installer. They require workspace trust. See [settings.json](/reference/settings-json) (`workspace.trust`). ## Turn language servers off * Settings > LSP: turn off **Auto-download** (`lsp.autoDownload`, personal). Prefetch on project activate becomes a no-op. * Environment: `VIXL_DISABLE_LSP_DOWNLOAD` set to `1`, `true`, `TRUE`, or `yes` also skips prefetch, even if the setting is on. * Settings > LSP, or `lsp.json`: disable individual servers. `lsp.json` set to `false` disables all of them. * Uninstall a managed install from the LSP row. Files remain under `.vixl/lsp/` until removed. `lsp.*` cannot be overridden by a project `settings.json`.
