A preview version of SourceKit-LSP is now included in the nightly toolchain downloads at for both Swift 5.1 Development and Trunk Development (master). While SourceKit-LSP is still under heavy development, we wanted to provide a more convenient way to try out SourceKit-LSP for anyone using the Swift.org toolchains with an LSP-compatible editor. If that sounds like you, please give it a try!
Bugs can be filed on the Swift Bug Tracker in the “SourceKit-LSP” component, or we have a forum category if you need any help.
The downloads page includes instructions for installing the toolchain snapshots are at, and I have updated the instructions for getting started with SourceKit-LSP at to describe how to use it from a downloaded toolchain.
