What is the Ariadne MCP server?

Returns only the unit tests affected by your current Kotlin/Android code changes. That is what the ariadne mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.

The short version

Or add to your MCP client configuration manually (e.g., Claude Desktop):

  • MCP Integration — — Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and other MCP-compatible clients
  • Automatic Git Diff — — No need to pass diff manually; ariadne runs git diff internally
  • Powered by sazanami — — Uses Kotlin Analysis API for accurate static analysis

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 1 tool. What each one is for:

  • Example — Agent request: json { "name": "get_affected_tests", "arguments": { "project_path": "/path/to/your/kotlin/project" } }

What it needs from you

  • JDK 21 or later - Git — For diff detection

Getting it running

The server ships on a container image as ghcr.io/mikhailhal/ariadne, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.

How it compares

Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Ariadne's toolset — Example — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by MikhailHal; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Ariadne's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Ariadne to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 1 tool (Example) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Ariadne directly.
