Claude Plugin Marketplace Plan (vbnet-lsp)

Last updated: 2026-02-11

1. Fit Assessment

vbnet-lsp is a strong fit for the Claude plugin marketplace LSP category:

• It is a standalone LSP server with stdio support (--stdio), which matches marketplace lspServers expectations.
• It targets a distinct language (.vb) not currently covered by built-in language-server entries.
• It now supports a stable global command (vbnet-ls) via a NuGet dotnet-tool package (DNAKode.VbNet.Lsp), which matches how existing LSP entries rely on PATH-installed CLIs.

2. Current Marketplace Structure (Reference)

Recent marketplace entries are defined in:

• anthropics/claude-plugins-official/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json

For language servers, the plugin entry includes:

• "strict": false
• "lspServers" with:
  • command
  • optional args
  • extensionToLanguage

2.1 Plugin Repository Layout

Standalone plugin repository target:

• https://github.com/DNAKode/vbnet-lsp-claude-plugin

Source-of-truth snapshot in this monorepo:

• integrations/claude/vbnet-lsp

Sync mechanism:

• integrations/scripts/export-integration-repos.ps1
• docs/downstream-repositories.md

3. Proposed Marketplace Entry

{
  "name": "vbnet-lsp",
  "description": "VB.NET language server for code intelligence and diagnostics",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "author": {
    "name": "DNAKode"
  },
  "source": "./plugins/vbnet-lsp",
  "category": "development",
  "strict": false,
  "lspServers": {
    "vbnet-ls": {
      "command": "vbnet-ls",
      "args": ["--stdio"],
      "extensionToLanguage": {
        ".vb": "vb"
      },
      "startupTimeout": 120000
    }
  }
}

4. Proposed Plugin README (plugins/vbnet-lsp/README.md)

# vbnet-lsp

VB.NET language server for Claude Code, providing Roslyn-backed code intelligence and diagnostics.

## Supported Extensions
`.vb`

## Installation

### Via .NET tool (recommended)
`dotnet tool install --global DNAKode.VbNet.Lsp`

### Update
`dotnet tool update --global DNAKode.VbNet.Lsp`

## Requirements
- .NET SDK 10.0 or later

## More Information
- https://github.com/DNAKode/vbnet-lsp
- https://www.nuget.org/packages/DNAKode.VbNet.Lsp

5. Submission Path

Two viable paths:

1. Submit through Anthropic's plugin directory submission form: https://clau.de/plugin-directory-submission
2. Open a PR against anthropics/claude-plugins-official adding:
   • plugins/vbnet-lsp/README.md
   • /.claude-plugin/marketplace.json entry

Use whichever Anthropic currently requests for new third-party entries.

6. Up-to-Date Mechanism

This repository now supports tool publishing from tags:

• Workflow: .github/workflows/publish-dotnet-tool.yml
• Package: NuGet dotnet tool DNAKode.VbNet.Lsp (command: vbnet-ls)
• Command remains stable for marketplace config: vbnet-ls --stdio

Operationally:

1. Cut release tag vX.Y.Z
2. publish-dotnet-tool.yml packs/publishes DNAKode.VbNet.Lsp (when NUGET_API_KEY is set)
3. Users run dotnet tool update --global DNAKode.VbNet.Lsp

No marketplace metadata change is needed per release unless command/arguments/file-extension mapping changes.

6.1 Package ID and Command Strategy

For NuGet/dotnet tools, package ID and installed command are separate:

• PackageId can be organization-prefixed (for example, DNAKode.VbNet.Lsp)
• ToolCommandName can stay short and stable (vbnet-ls)

That means we can use a provenance-friendly package ID without changing the marketplace command configuration (vbnet-ls --stdio).
