Instead of running mypy separately from the command line, you get inline diagnostics as you type\u2014or on save, depending on configuration. It reads mypy configuration from pyproject.toml and supports both standard mypy and the faster dmypy daemon mode for repeated checks.\n\nThe plugin is designed for developers who want to catch type errors early without leaving their IDE. It offers granular control over strictness, file exclusions, and performance trade-offs (live checking versus save-on-check). Configuration is straightforward via pyproject.toml, though advanced users can also pass custom mypy or dmypy commands\u2014though doing so requires explicitly setting an environment variable for security.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is a well-maintained, low-friction plugin that solves a real problem: bringing mypy diagnostics into your editor. It has no known vulnerabilities, permissive licensing, and active development. Install it if you use python-lsp-server and want inline type checking; the only gotcha is the Python 3.10+ requirement and the need to install it in the same virtualenv as the LSP server itself."},"id":"pylsp-mypy","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pylsp-mypy","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pylsp-mypy.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pylsp-mypy/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-17","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pylsp-mypy","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Mypy linter for the Python LSP Server"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":321754,"position":7620,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.8.0"}
