The Babashka MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. It is built specifically to run and execute Babashka code, which is a fast, native Clojure interpreter used for scripting tasks.
To use this server, you need to first install Babashka itself. Afterwards, install the server's dependencies, build it, and set up the necessary environment variables for configuration. This setup allows you to run Babashka scripts through the provided MCP tools.
Key features include the ability to execute Babashka code via MCP tools, cache the results from recent commands, access a history of commands through MCP resources, and use configurable command timeouts for better control.
Typical use cases involve running Clojure scripts within a server environment, automating various tasks by leveraging Babashka's scripting strengths, and efficiently managing resources by caching and overseeing command executions.
For common questions: Babashka is defined as a native Clojure interpreter designed for efficient scripting. It can be installed via Homebrew on macOS, a bash script on Linux, or Scoop on Windows. The server is configurable, primarily through environment variables such as the path to the Babashka executable.
