🛠️ Tool Usage Best Practices

File Path Conventions

Always use relative paths from your project root:

# ✅ Correct "file_path": "src/main/kotlin/com/example/User.kt" # ❌ Incorrect "file_path": "/absolute/path/to/User.kt"
Package Naming

Follow Android package naming conventions:

# ✅ Correct "package_name": "com.company.app.feature.user" # ❌ Incorrect "package_name": "User.Package"
Security Best Practices
  • Always use encryption for sensitive data
  • Implement proper compliance features from the start
  • Use secure storage for API keys and secrets
  • Enable audit logging for compliance requirements
Performance Optimization
  • Use parallel: true for Gradle builds when possible
  • Generate tests incrementally rather than all at once
  • Use local LLM providers for privacy-sensitive code analysis
  • Enable caching for API setups
Error Handling

All tools provide comprehensive error information:

{ "success": false, "error": "File already exists", "details": { "file_path": "src/main/kotlin/User.kt", "suggestion": "Use a different file name or set overwrite: true" } }

    { "mcp.server.configFiles": [ "/absolute/path/to/your/kotlin-mcp-server/mcp_config_vscode.json" ], "python.defaultInterpreterPath": "/usr/bin/python3", "python.linting.enabled": true, "python.formatting.provider": "black", "python.sortImports.path": "isort" }
    💡 Pro Tip: The installation script provides the exact path you need to use.
  3. Workspace Settings (.vscode/settings.json):
    { "python.pythonPath": "python3", "mcp.server.autoStart": true, "mcp.server.logLevel": "info" }
JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ IDEA, Android Studio)
  1. Install Required Plugins:
    • Go to File > Settings > Plugins (Windows/Linux) or IntelliJ IDEA > Preferences > Plugins (Mac)
    • Search and install "MCP" plugin from marketplace
    • Install "Python" plugin if not already available
  2. Configure MCP Server: The installation script generates mcp_config.json with proper configuration. In your IDE:
    • Go to File > Settings > Tools > MCP Server
    • Click + to add new server:
      • Name: Your custom server name (as configured during installation)
      • Configuration File: Select the generated mcp_config.json
      • Auto Start: Enable
  3. Android Studio Specific:
    <!-- Add to .idea/workspace.xml --> <component name="MCPServerManager"> <option name="servers"> <server name="your-server-name" configFile="mcp_config.json" autoStart="true"/> </option> </component>
    💡 Note: Replace your-server-name with the server name you chose during installation.

  1. Configuration File Location:
    • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
    • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
    • Linux: ~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  2. Configuration Content: Simply copy the content from the generated mcp_config_claude.json file to your Claude Desktop configuration file. The installation script has already configured all paths and settings correctly.Example of generated configuration:
    { "mcpServers": { "your-server-name": { "command": "python3", "args": ["kotlin_mcp_server.py"], "cwd": "/absolute/path/to/kotlin-mcp-server", "env": { "PROJECT_PATH": "${workspaceRoot}" } } } }
    ✅ Ready to Use: No manual path updates needed - everything is pre-configured!
Cursor IDE
  1. Install Extensions:
    • Same extensions as VS Code (Cursor is VS Code-based)
    • Python, Pylint, Black Formatter, isort
  2. Configuration: Use the same mcp_config_vscode.json configuration as VS Code. Add to Cursor's settings.json:
    { "mcp.server.configFiles": [ "/absolute/path/to/your/kotlin-mcp-server/mcp_config_vscode.json" ] }
VS Code Bridge Server (Alternative Integration)

For VS Code extensions that need HTTP API access to MCP tools, the project includes a bridge server.

1. Start the Bridge Server:

# Default port (8080) python3 vscode_bridge.py # Custom port python3 vscode_bridge.py 8081 # With environment configuration MCP_BRIDGE_HOST=0.0.0.0 MCP_BRIDGE_PORT=8080 python3 vscode_bridge.py

2. Health Check:

# Test server is running curl http://localhost:8080/health # Expected response: { "status": "healthy", "current_workspace": "/path/to/current/workspace", "available_tools": [ "gradle_build", "run_tests", "create_kotlin_file", "create_layout_file", "analyze_project" ] }

3. Using the Bridge API:

# Call MCP tools via HTTP curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/ \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "tool": "create_kotlin_file", "arguments": { "file_path": "src/main/MyClass.kt", "content": "class MyClass { }" } }'

4. VS Code Extension Integration:

// In your VS Code extension const response = await fetch('http://localhost:8080/', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify({ tool: 'analyze_project', arguments: { analysis_type: 'architecture' } }) }); const result = await response.json();

5. Configuration:

# Environment variables for bridge server MCP_BRIDGE_HOST=localhost # Server host MCP_BRIDGE_PORT=8080 # Server port VSCODE_WORKSPACE_FOLDER=/path # Override workspace detection
Other IDEs

For IDEs with MCP support:

  • Vim/Neovim: Use coc-mcp or similar MCP plugins
  • Emacs: Install mcp-mode package
  • Sublime Text: Install MCP package via Package Control

�️ Troubleshooting

Common Installation Issues

Python Version Compatibility
# Check Python version (must be 3.8+) python3 --version # If using older Python, install newer version # macOS with Homebrew: brew install python@3.11 # Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt update && sudo apt install python3.11
Dependency Installation Errors
# Upgrade pip first python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip # Install with verbose output for debugging pip install -r requirements.txt -v # Use alternative index if needed pip install -r requirements.txt -i https://pypi.org/simple/
Import Errors
# Verify installation python3 -c "import kotlin_mcp_server; print('Import successful')" # Check Python path python3 -c "import sys; print(sys.path)" # Install in development mode pip install -e .

Configuration Issues

Most configuration issues are now resolved automatically:

# Regenerate configuration with the enhanced installer python3 install.py # For specific setup types: python3 install.py 1 /your/android/project my-server false python3 install.py --help # See all options
Legacy Manual Configuration Issues

If you're still using manual configuration from older versions:

# 1. Update to the new installer (recommended) python3 install.py # 2. Or manually find your actual paths (legacy method) cd /path/to/kotlin-mcp-server && pwd cd /path/to/android/project && pwd # 3. Update config files - replace ${MCP_SERVER_DIR} with actual path # Example: Change this "cwd": "${MCP_SERVER_DIR}" # To this (your actual path) "cwd": "~/Documents/kotlin-mcp-server"

💡 Pro Tip: The new installer eliminates these manual steps entirely!

Environment Variable Issues
# Check if variables are set env | grep MCP env | grep WORKSPACE # Load environment file manually if needed source .env # Test variable expansion echo $MCP_SERVER_DIR echo $WORKSPACE_PATH
