[`python.languageServer`](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/settings-reference#_intellisense-engine-settings) to `"None"` as a default configuration.

If you prefer to use ty only for type checking and want to use another language
server for capabilities like hover, auto-completions, etc., you can override
this by explicitly setting [`python.languageServer`](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/settings-reference#_intellisense-engine-settings) and
[`ty.disableLanguageServices`](https://docs.astral.sh/ty/reference/editor-settings/#disablelanguageservices)
in your [`settings.json`](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/configure/settings#_settings-json-file):

```jsonc
{
"python.languageServer": "None"
"python.languageServer": "Pylance",
"ty.disableLanguageServices": true,
}
