Overview

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows AI tools to interact with Gradle projects programmatically. It provides a standardized interface for reading build configurations, running tasks, and querying dependencies.

Best for

Best for
Developers using MCP-based AI assistants who need programmatic access to Gradle projects.

Use cases

• Interrogate Gradle build files and project structure from an AI assistant
• Execute Gradle tasks (e.g., compile, test) via MCP-compatible clients
• Retrieve dependency graphs or version information for code analysis

How to use

Tools exposed

• get_gradle_project_info
• execute_gradle_task
• run_gradle_tests

Tested with

VS Code, Claude Desktop

Example client config

{\n  "mcpServers": {\n    "gradle-mcp-server": {\n      "command": "java",\n      "args": [\n        "-jar",\n        "<absolute_path_to_home>/mcp-servers/gradle-mcp-server/gradle-mcp-server-all.jar"\n      ],\n      "env": {},\n      "disabled": false,\n      "autoApprove": []\n    }\n  }\n}
