Authoring and modifying Gradle build logic, including settings, plugins, dependencies, tasks, conventions, and upgrades. Activate when build files or plugins must change; use using-gradle for inspection or execution without build-definition edits.

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

# Gradle Build Authoring

Author or modify Gradle build definitions, build logic, project structure, and delivery wiring. Optimize for lazy, decoupled, configuration-cache-compatible builds.

## Positive Triggers (when to activate)

- Authoring or modifying build.gradle(.kts), settings.gradle(.kts), convention plugins, modules, or subprojects.
- Adding or changing dependency declarations, version catalogs, repositories, or plugin management.
- Configuring JDK toolchains, Kotlin compiler options, test frameworks, publishing, or CI wiring.
- Declaring or modifying composite builds (included builds via `includeBuild`, build-logic wiring).
- Creating custom tasks, worker actions, build services, value sources, service injection, or project-isolation-compatible build logic.
- Assessing build health, running best-practice audits, or handling Gradle doctor / build health check / performance audit requests.
- Modifying advanced Gradle configuration and build performance settings.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rnett/gradle-mcp/authoring-gradle-builds@sha256:a831b1afec6de20a

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.5.0, 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.
