Gradle MCP server enables AI tools to inspect Gradle projects, execute tasks, and run tests, providing structured project information and task execution capabilities.
The Gradle MCP server is relatively safe for read-only operations like project inspection. However, executing tasks carries inherent risks due to the potential for arbitrary code execution within the Gradle environment. Exercise caution when using task execution tools, especially with untrusted projects.
Performance depends heavily on the size and complexity of the Gradle project. Large projects may require significant resources and time to analyze or build.
The server itself has minimal cost. However, executing Gradle tasks may consume significant CPU and memory resources, especially for large projects or complex builds.

}TARGET_DIRget_gradle_project_infoRetrieves structured information about a Gradle project, including build structure, tasks, environment, and project details.
Read-only operation with no side effects.
execute_gradle_taskExecutes specified Gradle tasks with custom arguments, JVM arguments, and environment variables.
Executes arbitrary Gradle tasks, potentially leading to code execution.
run_gradle_testsExecutes Gradle test tasks and returns structured results in a hierarchical JSON format.
Executes test tasks; failure output is filtered/truncated, but arbitrary code execution is still possible.

The server provides no built-in sandboxing or rollback mechanisms. Exercise caution when granting autonomy, especially for task execution.
Production Tip
Monitor resource consumption and execution time of Gradle tasks to prevent performance bottlenecks.
Since there is no built-in authentication, ensure the server is not exposed to the public internet. Use network firewalls to restrict access.
Yes, you can run the server in a Docker container. Ensure the container has access to the Gradle project directory.
Use the `jvmArguments` input parameter in the `execute_gradle_task` tool.
Use the `testPatterns` input parameter to specify test filter patterns.
The server uses the Gradle Tooling API, which generally supports a range of Gradle versions. Check the Gradle Tooling API documentation for specific compatibility details.
Start the server with the `--debug` command-line argument.
Ensure the `java` command in the MCP client configuration points to the desired Java executable (JDK 17 or higher).
