Overview

What is Modex: Model Context Protocol Server & Client Library in Clojure?

Modex is a Clojure library that augments AI models with tools, resources, and prompts by implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It allows building MCP servers and clients entirely in native Clojure, using the stdio transport and requiring no Java SDK or proxy.

How to use Modex: Model Context Protocol Server & Client Library in Clojure?

Clone the repository, run ./build.sh to create an uberjar, then configure your Claude Desktop config to execute java -jar /path/to/uber.jar. Define tools with the tool macro and start the server with (server/start-server! my-mcp-server).
