### Description (declared)

# jons-mcp-java

MCP server that provides Java language intelligence through Eclipse JDT.LS.

Released packages are available from PyPI. Development versions can also be run
from a source checkout or directly from GitHub.

The current public API is aligned with `jons-mcp-typescript`: public positions
are one-based, successful tool responses use structured `items` and pagination
shapes, and refactoring previews are read-only.

## Requirements

- Python 3.10+
- Java 21+
- Eclipse JDT.LS
- A target Java workspace containing Gradle project markers:
  `settings.gradle`, `settings.gradle.kts`, `build.gradle`, or `build.gradle.kts`

On macOS with Homebrew:

```bash
brew install openjdk@21 jdtls
```

If Java is not on your PATH, set `JAVA_HOME`. If JDT.LS is installed somewhere
custom, set `JDTLS_HOME`. The server also tries to resolve a `jdtls`
executable on PATH.

If `JDTLS_HOME` points at a read-only install such as the Nix store, the server
copies the small platform `config_<os>` directory into a writable cache under
`$XDG_CACHE_HOME/jons-mcp-java` or `~/.cache/jons-mcp-java`. Set
`JDTLS_CONFIG_DIR` to choose a specific writable configuration directory. The
cached copy is repaired to be user-writable even when the source archive or
package ships read-only mode bits.

## Install and Run

From PyPI:

```bash
uvx jons-mcp-java /path/to/java-workspace
```

From a source checkout:

```bash
git clone git@github.com:jonmmease/jons-mcp-java.git
cd jons-mcp-java
uv sync
uv run jons-mcp-java /path/to/java-workspace
```

From GitHub without a persistent checkout:

```bash
uvx --from git+https://github.com/jonmmease/jons-mcp-java.git \
  jons-mcp-java /path/to/java-workspace
```

Pass the Java workspace root as the optional positional argument, or set
`JONS_MCP_JAVA_WORKSPACE`. The positional argument takes precedence. If neither
is provided, the server uses the MCP process current working directory. All
relative tool paths are resolved from this workspace root.
