Editor Setup

The Rebind editor is ready without extra setup. External editors work on the same files, and Rebind notices saved changes.

Open the scripts folder

Windows: %APPDATA%\Rebind\scripts
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Rebind/scripts
Linux: ~/.local/share/Rebind/scripts

Open that folder as your editor workspace. Keep modules beside their entry script or inside its package root so runtime require() resolution and editor paths describe the same tree.

VS Code

Install the Luau Language Server, then add .vscode/settings.json to the scripts workspace:

{
  "luau-lsp.platform.type": "standard",
  "luau-lsp.sourcemap.enabled": false,
  "luau-lsp.types.definitionFiles": [
    "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/usinput/rebind-mcp-server/main/src/rebind.d.luau"
  ]
}

The definition file is the same Rebind SDK surface used by the in-app editor and the MCP server’s lua_docs tool. The language server downloads URL-based definition files and caches them. For another editor, configure luau-lsp in standard mode and pass that same definition file to the language server. Editor diagnostics do not replace rebind check, which validates the runtime modeline, package manifest, permissions, require graph, and Luau compilation.
