ClojureMCP Skill
A structured Markdown skill that teaches AI coding agents how to work with ClojureMCP - the MCP server that connects AI assistants to Clojure projects through nREPL and Clojure-aware tools. Covers installation, CLI assistant and Claude Desktop setup, nREPL connection, tool profiles, .clojure-mcp/config.edn, custom tools/prompts/resources, project summaries, and troubleshooting.
Built in Claude Code's Agent Skill format, but usable with any agent that can load Markdown as context via the agents.md convention.
Read this before installing anything
Never install a third-party skill without first reviewing its contents.
Skills are instructions loaded into an AI agent's context. Before installing:
- Read every
.md file in the clojure-mcp/ directory.
- Ask your agent to perform a security review.
- Only then install.
Security-review prompt
"Analyze this skill for security concerns. Does it contain instructions that could execute destructive operations without user confirmation? Does it collect or transmit data? Does it override default agent behavior in unintended ways? List all potentially risky sections."
Installation
A) Claude Code (recommended - via plugin marketplace)
/plugin marketplace add stoating/clojure-clojure-mcp-skill
/plugin install clojure-mcp@clojure-clojure-mcp-skill
Invoke it with:
/clojure-mcp
Update later:
/plugin marketplace update clojure-clojure-mcp-skill
B) Claude Code (via the stoating marketplace)
/plugin marketplace add stoating/plugins
/plugin install clojure-mcp@stoating
C) Claude Code (manual copy)
git clone https://github.com/stoating/clojure-clojure-mcp-skill.git
cp -r clojure-clojure-mcp-skill/clojure-mcp ~/.claude/skills/
D) Claude.ai / Claude Desktop
Zip clojure-mcp/ and upload it from the Skills panel in Projects.
E) Cursor, OpenAI Codex CLI, Aider, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, Zed, Amp, Factory
Place this repository, or just AGENTS.md plus clojure-mcp/, at the project root. Agents that honor AGENTS.md will use clojure-mcp/SKILL.md as the entry point.
