Overview

What is Basilisp nREPL MCP Bridge?

Basilisp nREPL MCP Bridge connects Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) to a Basilisp nREPL server, enabling Claude Code to evaluate code, inspect namespaces, and get documentation directly from a Basilisp REPL. It is built for developers using Basilisp (or any nREPL) who want to interact with their Lisp environment through Claude.

How to use Basilisp nREPL MCP Bridge?

First, start a Basilisp nREPL server with basilisp nrepl-server --port 36915. Then add the bridge to Claude Code with claude mcp add /path/to/basilisp_mcp_bridge.py. After that, use the provided MCP tools (eval_code, get_docs, find_namespace_vars, list_namespaces, check_connection) inside Claude to interact with the REPL.

Key features of Basilisp nREPL MCP Bridge

Execute Basilisp code with pretty-printed, syntax-highlighted results

List all available namespaces and their variables
Check nREPL server connectivity
Basilisp Python interop with proper attribute/method syntax
Enhanced error reporting and formatting

Use cases of Basilisp nREPL MCP Bridge

Evaluate Basilisp code snippets directly from Claude Code
Look up documentation for functions or macros without leaving the editor
Discover available symbols and namespaces in a running Basilisp project
Verify that an nREPL server is reachable and responsive
Execute Python interop code (imports, attribute access, method calls) within Basilisp

Frequently asked questions

What are the requirements to run Basilisp nREPL MCP Bridge?

You need `uv` and [basilisp](https://github.com/basilisp-lang/basilisp) installed.

How do I start the nREPL server?

Run `basilisp nrepl-server --port 36915` (or any port of your choice).

How do I add the MCP bridge to Claude Code?

Use the command `claude mcp add /path/to/basilisp_mcp_bridge.py`.

What tools does the bridge expose?

It provides `eval_code`, `get_docs`, `find_namespace_vars`, `list_namespaces`, and `check_connection`.

Does it work with nREPL servers other than Basilisp?

Yes, it should work with any nREPL, but the current prompts are Basilisp focused.
