Lean Theorem Prover MCP
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and uses a permissive MIT license. It is purpose-built for integrating Lean with LLM agents and IDEs—if you are working with Lean 4 projects and want agentic proof assistance, this is the standard tool. Install it if you use Cursor, Claude Code, or similar platforms with Lean projects.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python >=3.10, a Lean project with lakefile.toml or lakefile.lean, and the Lean toolchain (elan/lake) installed.
- Running `lake build` before starting the MCP is recommended to avoid timeouts.
- Low install friction with a pure Python wheel and four runtime dependencies.

What it is and what it does
lean-lsp-mcp is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that bridges the Lean theorem prover and LLM agents by exposing Lean's language server capabilities as a set of tools. It runs as a stdio-based service that agents can invoke to inspect proof states, retrieve diagnostics, search for theorems and definitions, and interact with Lean projects programmatically.
The package wraps leanclient to communicate with Lean's LSP, and provides tools for goal inspection, term information, hover documentation, and external theorem search via services like Loogle and Lean Hammer. It integrates with IDEs (VSCode, Cursor, Claude Code, Mistral Vibe) and supports optional features like REPL-based code execution and ripgrep-powered local search. Configuration is minimal—the server works out-of-the-box but allows customization via environment variables for logging, tool disabling, and performance tuning.
Use it for
- Enable Claude Code or other agentic IDEs to assist with Lean 4 theorem proving by providing real-time proof state and diagnostic information.
- Automate theorem discovery and proof search by querying external databases like Loogle and Lean Hammer through a unified interface.
- Build custom agents that analyze Lean projects, extract goal states, and suggest relevant theorems or lemmas for proof completion.
- Integrate Lean proof verification into LLM-based code generation workflows where formal correctness is required.
- Provide local search capabilities for Lean definitions and theorems using ripgrep for faster development iteration.
