Overview

A Language Server speaks the Language Server Protocol (LSP) — the editor-agnostic protocol that lets a single backend deliver diagnostics, completion, hover, and more to any LSP client (VS Code, Neovim, Helix, Emacs, …). camt053-lsp is that backend for reversing-entry data JSON files: the JSON arrays of flat reversing-entry records that drive ISO 20022 camt.053 reversal generation in the camt053 suite.

It gives editors three features as you type, all backed by camt053.services so they behave identically to the CLI, REST API, and MCP server:

• Diagnostics — each record is validated against a message type's input JSON Schema, and any IBAN / BIC identifier values are additionally checked with the dedicated validators.
• Completion — every input field (with its description) plus the list of supported camt message types.
• Hover — the schema description for the field under the cursor.

The intended message type defaults to camt.053.001.14 (Bank to Customer Statement); the pure helpers accept a message_type argument so a different type can be configured.

camt053-lsp is part of the camt053 suite — a set of independently installable packages (all Python 3.10+) sharing the camt053.services layer:

Package	Role
camt053	Core library + Click CLI + FastAPI REST API
camt053-mcp	Model Context Protocol server (for AI agents)
camt053-lsp	Language Server Protocol server (this package)

Install

camt053-lsp runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows and requires Python 3.10+ and pip. It pulls in the core camt053 library and pygls automatically.

python -m pip install camt053-lsp

Verify the installation:

python -c "import camt053_lsp; print('camt053-lsp', camt053_lsp.__version__)"

Using an isolated virtual environment (recommended)

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate        # macOS/Linux
venv\Scripts\activate           # Windows
python -m pip install -U camt053-lsp

Quick Start

The package installs a camt053-lsp console entry point that starts the language server over stdio:

camt053-lsp

The command speaks LSP on stdin/stdout — it is meant to be launched by your editor's LSP client, not used interactively. Point your editor at it for JSON reversing-entry data files and you get diagnostics, completion, and hover as you type.

Editor wiring

Register camt053-lsp as the server cmd for JSON files in your editor's LSP client.

Neovim (built-in vim.lsp.config)

vim.lsp.config["camt053"] = {
  cmd = { "camt053-lsp" },
  filetypes = { "json" },
  root_markers = { ".git" },
}
vim.lsp.enable("camt053")

VS Code (generic LSP client)

Configure a generic LSP client extension to spawn the camt053-lsp command over stdio for the json language, or wrap it in a small extension whose serverOptions is { command: "camt053-lsp", transport: TransportKind.stdio }.

Open a JSON array of reversing-entry records and the server validates each record on open and on every change, surfaces completion for field names and message types, and shows schema descriptions on hover.

Features

For reversing-entry data JSON files (a JSON array of flat reversing-entry records, or a single record object treated as one record):

• Diagnostics — schema validation reports missing required fields, wrong types, and pattern/length violations; identifier fields (account_id, account_servicer_bic, counterparty_account) are additionally checked as IBAN / BIC. Malformed JSON yields a single syntax diagnostic at the offending position.
• Completion — every input field for the message type (with its schema description as the detail) plus every supported camt message type.
• Hover — the schema description for the field name under the cursor, or the human-readable name when the token is a supported camt.05x message type (e.g. camt.053.001.14 — Bank To Customer Statement).
• Code actions — for each record missing required fields, a quick-fix inserts the missing keys (with empty placeholder values) into that record. Valid records and malformed JSON propose no action.
• Document symbols (outline) — one symbol per record (named Record N, with its statement_msg_id / entry_ref as the detail) and a child symbol for every field, so editors can render an outline / breadcrumb. Malformed JSON yields an empty outline.
• Formatting — pretty-prints the whole document with a stable 2-space indent while preserving key order, returned as a single full-document edit. Invalid JSON leaves the document unchanged.
• JSONC tolerance — // line comments and trailing commas are stripped before parsing, so all of the above work on JSONC data files. Clean JSON is unaffected. (YAML data files are a planned future enhancement.)

The feature logic lives in pure, importable helpers (compute_diagnostics, completion_items, hover_text, hover_markup, message_type_name, code_actions, document_symbols, format_text) backed by the shared camt053.services layer, so editor behaviour stays in lockstep with the CLI, REST API, and MCP server. The LSP handlers are thin glue that map those plain dicts to lsprotocol types.

Using the helpers

Because the feature logic is pure, you can call it directly — no editor or server process required. This is exactly what the server runs on each edit:

import json

from camt053_lsp.server import (
    code_actions,
    completion_items,
    compute_diagnostics,
    document_symbols,
    format_text,
    hover_markup,
    hover_text,
)

# A complete, valid reversing-entry record produces no diagnostics.
valid_doc = json.dumps(
    [
        {
            "statement_msg_id": "RVSL-STMT-0001",
            "creation_date_time": "2026-06-15T08:00:00",
            "statement_id": "RVSL-STMT-0001",
            "account_id": "GB29NWBK60161331926819",
            "account_currency": "EUR",
            "account_servicer_bic": "NWBKGB2LXXX",
            "amount": "1500.00",
            "currency": "EUR",
            "credit_debit": "DBIT",
            "reason_code": "AC04",
            "counterparty_account": "DE89370400440532013000",
        }
    ]
)
assert compute_diagnostics(valid_doc) == []

# Missing required fields are reported as errors.
missing = json.dumps([{"statement_msg_id": "ONLY-ID"}])
print(len(compute_diagnostics(missing)), "issue(s)")

# An invalid BIC is flagged as a warning.
bad_bic = json.dumps([{"account_servicer_bic": "INVALID"}])
print(compute_diagnostics(bad_bic)[:1])

# Completion offers field names and message types; hover shows descriptions.
items = completion_items()
print(len(items), "completion items, e.g.", items[0]["label"])
print(hover_text("account_servicer_bic"))   # -> the field's schema description
print(hover_text("nope"))                    # -> None

# Hover markup also names a message type under the cursor.
print(hover_markup("camt.053.001.14"))       # -> "camt.053.001.14 — Bank ..."

# Code actions propose inserting a record's missing required fields.
fixes = code_actions(missing)
print(fixes[0]["title"])                     # -> "Insert missing required ..."
print(code_actions(valid_doc))               # -> [] (nothing to fix)

# Document symbols build an outline: one symbol per record, fields as children.
outline = document_symbols(valid_doc)
print(outline[0]["name"], "->", len(outline[0]["children"]), "fields")

# Formatting pretty-prints the document (2-space indent, key order preserved).
print(format_text('[{"b":1,"a":2}]'))        # -> formatted JSON string
print(format_text("[{not json}]"))           # -> None (left unchanged)

# JSONC sugar (// comments, trailing commas) is tolerated everywhere.
jsonc = '[\n  // a record\n  {"statement_msg_id": "ID-1",},\n]'
print(compute_diagnostics(jsonc)[:1])        # parses fine

Each diagnostic is a plain dict — {"line": int, "character": int, "severity": "error" | "warning", "message": str} — which the server maps to lsprotocol Diagnostic objects before publishing.

A Makefile orchestrates the quality gates (kept in lockstep with CI):

make check        # all gates (REQUIRED before commit)
make test         # pytest
make lint         # ruff + black
make type-check   # mypy --strict
make examples     # run the example script
