It bundles four command-line tools: Forge, Cast, Anvil and Chisel.Is it one tool or a whole suite?A suite of four CLIs: Forge builds, tests, fuzzes, debugs and deploys Solidity contracts; Cast works with contracts, transactions and chain data; Anvil is a fast local Ethereum node; Chisel is a Solidity REPL.

The server is embedded in Forge, picks up foundry.toml, workspace folders, remappings and the EVM version automatically, and runs forge lint --json as its default flycheck.

Vyper appears only in the repo's topic list, so treat Vyper support as secondary.
