Research direction
First, review the contribution guidelines for adding new packages in mason.nvim (likely located in CONTRIBUTING.md). Look at existing package definitions in the lua/mason registry/ directory for similar LSP servers (e.g., 'lua/mason registry/vscode json languageserver' or similar). Understand the structure: a <package name>.lua file with a package table that includes name, homepage, languages, and install function. For vscode markdown languageserver, check its npm page and GitHub source to determine the correct npm package name and install commands. The current issue is a straightforward request, and maintainers have not provided additional constraints, so implement a standard package definition. Ensure to test the package locally after adding.
