cimoxide for VS Code
Language support for ENTSO-E CGMES and Network Code (NC) RDF/XML, powered by
cimoxide.
Validation — the CGMES and NC SHACL rules (shape tables plus the hand-written
sh:sparql rules) as diagnostics, the same findings as cimcli validate. A model is
usually several files (EQ, SSH, SV, TP, …), so the unit of validation is a model set:
every CIM XML file in the document's directory. Cross-profile findings appear on every
file that writes the object.
Hover — a class's definition from the ENTSO-E vocabulary, inheritance chain and
profiles, an attribute's definition, type, multiplicity and profiles, an enumeration
value's definition, and the class and name of the object an rdf:resource points to.
Go to definition / find references — follow rdf:resource="#_…" across the files
of the model set.
Outline — every object in the document, labelled by IdentifiedObject.name.
Completion — after <: the attributes of the enclosing object's class (inherited ones
included), or the classes of the document's namespace between objects.
Chat — an MCP server, cimmcp, offered to chat (Copilot agent mode): ask about the
model sets of the workspace. Its tools list the model sets, summarise one (headers, object
counts), find objects by class, name or attribute value, show an object with its references
resolved, validate, run SPARQL and describe a CIM class. They only read. Turn it off with
cimoxide.mcp.enabled.
Validation runs when a document is opened and saved; turn on
cimoxide.validation.onType to also run it while typing.

The language server, cimlsp, and the MCP server, cimmcp, are bundled for Linux (x64,
arm64), macOS (x64, arm64) and Windows (x64). They speak LSP and MCP over stdio, so other
editors and chat clients can use them too — e.g. claude mcp add cimoxide -- cimmcp --dir .
for Claude Code. The extension needs VS Code 1.101 or later.
