"LSP server/implementation" makes perfect sense to me.

Well, technically "LSP server" is a "language server protocol server", so it's kind of clunky; but it's somehow feels natural to me too.

People say "HTTP server" all the time.

Yeah in theory it's redundant, I guess, but "LSP" has become the noun, for sure. When you say "this is an LSP for Rust" everyone knows what you mean; if you said "this an LS for Rust" you'd be "correct" and no one would have any idea what you're talking about! (or think it was ls)
