Using Gradle MCP tools to inspect and run existing builds, including projects, tasks, properties, dependencies, and build results. Activate for Gradle build operation and diagnosis; use authoring-gradle-builds when the build definition itself must change.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Authoritative Gradle Build Execution, Testing & Inspection Inspects, executes, diagnoses, and researches existing Gradle builds using managed orchestration and structured diagnostics. ## Positive Triggers (when to activate) - Mapping the project hierarchy, discovering runnable tasks, or inspecting project properties. - Executing Gradle tasks in foreground or background. - Monitoring build progress or capturing isolated task output. - Diagnosing build failures through filtered test execution or diagnostic tasks. - Researching official Gradle documentation, release notes, or internal APIs. - Auditing the dependency graph, resolving version conflicts, or discovering library updates. - Searching and reading source code for dependencies, plugins, or Gradle itself. - Performing trivial everyday dependency edits (adding a version-catalog entry + library, bumping a version). ## Negative Triggers (when NOT to activate) - Structural build authoring: adding/changing plugins, repositories, modules/subprojects, toolchains, publishing, CI wiring, compiler options, or testing frameworks (use `authoring-gradle-builds`). …

How to install
mdr add rnett/gradle-mcp/using-gradle@sha256:c711eb6422761c6fThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
