My absolute favorite use of MCP so far is Bruce Hauman's clojure-mcp. In short, it gives the LLM (a) a bash tool, (b) a persistent Clojure REPL, and (c) structural editing tools.

The effect is that it's far more efficient at editing Clojure code than any purely string-diff-based approach, and if you write a good test suite it can rapidly iterate back and forth just editing files, reloading them, and then re-running the test suite at the REPL -- just like I would. It's pretty incredible to watch.

I was just going to comment about clojure-mcp!! It’s far and away the coolest use of mcp I’ve seen so far.

It can straight up debug your code, eval individual expressions, document return types of functions. It’s amazing.

It actually makes me think that languages with strong REPLs are a better for languages than those without. Seeing clojure-mcp do its thing is the most impressive AI feat I’ve seen since I saw GPT-3 in action for the first time
