kotlin

The Kotlin MCP Server is a powerful tool designed for Android app development, leveraging the capabilities of OpenAI, Gemini, or OpenRouter to provide AI-assisted coding. By integrating Aider for smart code suggestions, Gradle for seamless build and test processes, and Kotlin Language Server Protocol (LSP) for enhanced development experiences, this server streamlines your coding workflow and enhances productivity.

Once connected to the Kotlin MCP Server, you can issue commands and queries related to code generation, debugging, and project management. For optimal results, focus on providing specific coding tasks or queries, such as requesting code snippets, asking for explanations of Kotlin concepts, or generating test cases. The server responds to these queries using AI-driven capabilities, helping you write efficient Kotlin code tailored to your project requirements.

Prerequisites

Before installing the Kotlin MCP Server, ensure you have the following prerequisites installed:

• Node.js (version 14 or higher)
• Docker (for containerized portability)

Option A: Quick start with npx

To quickly start using the Kotlin MCP Server, you can use the following command:

npx -y git+https://github.com/normaltusker/kotlin-mcp-server.git  

Option B: Global install alternative

Alternatively, you can clone the repository and install it globally using the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/normaltusker/kotlin-mcp-server.git  
cd kotlin-mcp-server  
npm install -g .  

For optimal configuration, consider setting up environment variables to customize your server's performance and behavior. Common variables include DOCKER_IMAGE for specifying the Docker image to use and GRADLE_HOME for defining your Gradle installation path. A common gotcha is forgetting to configure your Gradle build files correctly, which can lead to issues during the build process. Ensure all dependencies are properly defined in your build.gradle file.
