Question 1

What is the Babashka MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

It's a server that allows you to interact with Babashka, a native Clojure interpreter, using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This enables remote execution of Clojure code and management of Babashka instances.

Question 2

How do I install and configure the Babashka MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

First, install Babashka using a package manager like Brew (macOS) or Scoop (Windows), or via the install script for Linux. Then, install the server dependencies with 'npm install' and build it with 'npm run build'. Configuration is done through the BABASHKA_PATH environment variable.

Question 3

What is the 'execute' tool in the Babashka MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

The 'execute' tool allows you to run Babashka code remotely via the MCP. You can specify the Clojure code to execute and an optional timeout (in milliseconds) to prevent long-running scripts from blocking the server.

Question 4

What credentials does it need?

Accepted Answer

It reads `BABASHKA_PATH` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.
