How do I install the Clojure MCP skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add tomevault-io/clojure-mcp in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

Is Clojure MCP safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Clojure MCP?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Clojure MCP free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

ClojureMCP

ClojureMCP is an MCP server for Clojure development. It connects an LLM client to a project through nREPL and exposes Clojure-aware tools for REPL evaluation, file reading/search, structural editing, prompts, resources, and optional agent tools.

Quick Decision: What do you need?

Task	Go to
Install ClojureMCP and add it to Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, or Claude Desktop	setup.md
Configure nREPL ports, auto-start, project directory, CLI args, and desktop launching	nrepl.md
Understand available tools and when to use `:cli-assist`	tools.md
Configure `.clojure-mcp/config.edn`, allowed directories, tool filters, scratch pad, bash mode	configuration.md
Create or customize tools, prompts, resources, and custom MCP servers	customization.md
Use project summaries, chat resume, REPL-driven workflows, and multiple REPLs	workflows.md
Fix connection, path, nREPL, tool, env var, or Claude Desktop issues	troubleshooting.md

Core Mental Model

ClojureMCP sits between an MCP client and a Clojure project. The MCP process serves tools over JSON-RPC; most useful Clojure behavior comes from a live nREPL connected to the target project.

For CLI assistants, prefer keeping native file editing and shell tools and add ClojureMCP mainly for REPL integration and Clojure-aware fallback tools:

clojure -Tmcp start :config-profile :cli-assist

For desktop clients, start an nREPL in the project and configure the desktop app to launch ClojureMCP against that nREPL. Desktop clients usually need a fuller ClojureMCP toolchain because they do not provide strong local coding tools themselves.
