This plugin hosts the Microsoft C++ Language Server, which is an LSP server for C++ based on the same engine used for C++ in VS Code and Visual Studio. See this blog post for the initial announcement https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/c-code-intelligence-for-github-copilot-cli-preview/

We're aiming to make the language server easier to install by providing it as a plugin and available in built-in marketplaces.
