gradle-mcp

What it does

gradle-mcp is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that bridges Gradle build automation with AI agents and developer tools. It exposes Gradle functionality through a standardized MCP interface, allowing AI assistants to understand, analyze, and execute Gradle build tasks, manage dependencies, and interact with project configurations programmatically.

How to set up

Installation requires Node.js or a compatible MCP runtime environment. Clone or install the gradle-mcp package from the GitHub repository, configure your MCP client (such as Claude Desktop or other compatible platforms) to connect to the server by specifying the appropriate MCP server configuration in your settings file, and ensure Gradle is installed on your system. Restart your MCP client to establish the connection.
