I tried these, and they seem to mainly be opening Claude Code in a pane in Vim, along with commands to open the pane. It’s missing the features added to the Emacs version like open file awareness, access to text selection, and integrated diff for changes.
It would be really interesting to see a version which exposes Vim as an MCP. I would love to see Claude Code work on the active file, reading from open buffers, typing Vim motions, and taking advantage of Vim features like find/replace and macros. It would be closer to the real pair programming experience, whereas the read and write experience is slow and disjointed from editing.
Hello, I'm the maintainer of the coder/claudecode.nvim plugin.
This plugin does indeed support that functionality. It implements an MCP server using pure Lua and Neovim primitives. It not only notifies Claude Code about the currently open file and selected lines in a file, but also opens diff views whenever Claude Code attempts to make a file change.
