PromptExecution/just-mcp: mcp server for just

👋 A way to let LLMs speak Just

A production-ready MCP server that provides seamless integration with Just command runner, enabling AI assistants to discover, execute, and introspect Justfile recipes through the standardized MCP protocol.

If it isn't immediately obvious, the benefit of having LLMs use Just vs. bash is that running Just commands (via MCP) provides a context-saving abstraction where they don't need to waste context opening/reading bash files, Python scripts, or other build artifacts. The LLM via MCP simply gets the command, parameters, and hints - it's in their memory as "these are commands available to you."

No more watching LLMs execute just -l to get command lists, inevitably start reading the justfile, then try to write justfile syntax (like it's a Makefile), corrupt the justfile, and create a bad experience. Just's evolving syntax simply doesn't have a large enough corpus in frontier models today - we need more popular repos with justfiles in the training dataset.

Just-mcp is fundamentally safer than bash. If you read HackerNews, there's a story at least once daily about operators whose LLMs start forgetting, hallucinating, and eventually breaking down - deleting files and doing nasty unwanted things. Giving LLMs unsupervised, unrestricted bash access without carefully monitoring context consumption is a recipe for disaster.

Using Justfile fixes that. Even if the LLM modifies its own justfile, the next context is memoized by the justfile (hopefully in an idempotent git repo). This abstraction shields the llm from the command line complexity where hallucinations or attention tracking the current working directory cause it to go over the rails and off the cliff.

Just-mcp is perfect for anybody doing agent execution:

• Ultra-low overhead - probably better than every other tool
• Human-friendly - justfiles are easy for humans and low overhead for LLMs
• Quick and dirty - while some prefer full Python FastAPI servers, just-mcp is just easy-as
• sm0l model friendly - works great with self-hostable GPU/CPU open source models with 8k-32k context limits

Just has useful patterns for introducing:

• Transparent logging without distracting the agent
• Secondary model inspection - use sm0l models to scan commands asking "is this harmful?" before execution
• Python decorator-like patterns for command validation
• Idempotent execution backed by git repos

// List available recipes
await client.callTool("list_recipes", {});

// Execute recipe with parameters  
await client.callTool("run_recipe", {
  "recipe_name": "build",
  "args": "[\"--release\"]"
});

// Get recipe information
await client.callTool("get_recipe_info", {
  "recipe_name": "test"
});

// Validate justfile
await client.callTool("validate_justfile", {
  "justfile_path": "./custom.justfile"  
});

This project follows the b00t development methodology:

• TDD Approach - Tests first, implementation second
• Feature Branches - Never work directly on main branch
• Structured Errors - Use snafu for error management
• Git Workflow - Clean commits with descriptive messages

just build    # Build the project
