By default glsl_analyzer communicates over stdin/stdout:

glsl_analyzer

However, you can configure it to use a specific port (TCP) using the following command:

glsl_analyzer --port <PORT>

Neovim

nvim-lspconfig comes with support for glsl_analyzer. Simply add the following to your lua config:

require'lspconfig'.glsl_analyzer.setup{}
