+# Elixir Language Server Integration
+
+This directory contains the integration for Elixir language support using [Next LS](https://github.com/elixir-tools/next-ls) from the elixir-tools project.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before using the Elixir language server integration, you need to have:
+
+1. **Elixir** installed and available in your PATH
+   - Install from: https://elixir-lang.org/install.html
+   - Verify with: `elixir --version`
+
+2. **Next LS** installed and available in your PATH
+   - Install from: https://github.com/elixir-tools/next-ls#installation
+   - Verify with: `nextls --version`
+
+## Features
+
+The Elixir integration provides:
+
+- **Language Server Protocol (LSP) support** via Next LS
+- **File extension recognition** for `.ex` and `.exs` files
+- **Project structure awareness** with proper handling of Elixir-specific directories:
+  - `_build/` - Compiled artifacts (ignored)
+  - `deps/` - Dependencies (ignored)
+  - `.elixir_ls/` - ElixirLS artifacts (ignored)
+  - `cover/` - Coverage reports (ignored)
+  - `lib/` - Source code (not ignored)
+  - `test/` - Test files (not ignored)
+
+## Configuration
+
+The integration uses the default Next LS configuration with:
+
+- **MIX_ENV**: `dev`
+- **MIX_TARGET**: `host`
+- **Experimental completions**: Disabled by default
+- **Credo extension**: Enabled by default
+
+## Usage
+
+The Elixir language server is automatically selected when working with Elixir projects. It will be used for:
+
+- Code completion
+- Go to definition
+- Find references
+- Document symbols
+- Hover information
+- Code formatting
+- Diagnostics (via Credo integration)
+
+### Important: Project Compilation
+
+Next LS requires your Elixir project to be **compiled** for optimal performance, especially for:
+- Cross-file reference resolution
+- Complete symbol information
+- Accurate go-to-definition
+
+**For production use**: Ensure your project is compiled with `mix compile` before using the language server.
+
+**For testing**: The test suite automatically compiles the test repositories before running tests to ensure optimal Next LS performance.
+
+## Testing
+
+Run the Elixir-specific tests with:
+
+```bash
+pytest test/solidlsp/elixir/ -m elixir
+```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+- **Main class**: `ElixirTools` in `elixir_tools.py`
+- **Initialization parameters**: Defined in `initialize_params.json`
+- **Language identifier**: `"elixir"`
+- **Command**: `nextls --stdio`
+
+The implementation follows the same patterns as other language servers in this project, inheriting from `SolidLanguageServer` and providing Elixir-specific configuration and behavior.
