An Eclipse IDE plugin that lets Claude Code control your Eclipse workspace — build, launch, read console output, and more.

Download the eclipse.mcp.server_<version>.jar from the latest release and copy it into your Eclipse dropins/ folder:

<eclipse-install-dir>/eclipse/dropins/

Restart Eclipse (use -clean on first install).

claude mcp add eclipse --transport http http://localhost:5188/mcp -s user

That's it. Claude Code can now control your Eclipse workspace.

`list_projects`	List all projects in the workspace
`list_launch_configs`	List all run/debug configurations
`list_launches`	List active and recent launches
`launch`	Launch a run configuration (run or debug mode)
