Kotlin MCP Server Generator Skill (awesome-copilot) for Claude Code: What It Does and How to Install It

Makes your agent generate a complete Kotlin project for an MCP server, using the official Kotlin SDK.

Installs: 8.7K; on skills.sh
Stars: 40.7K; on GitHub
Updated: Oct 2026; last repo commit

The skill gives the agent a project layout and nine templates: build.gradle.kts, settings.gradle.kts, Main.kt, Server.kt, Config.kt, Tool1.kt, ToolRegistry.kt, ServerTest.kt and a README. The generated server uses io.modelcontextprotocol:kotlin-sdk 0.7.2 with Ktor, kotlinx serialization and coroutines, and has at least two or three typed tools.

It bundles no scripts. SKILL.md also shows both stdio and SSE (Ktor) transports and a multiplatform setup. The README template it writes asks for Java 17 or higher and Kotlin 2.1.0.

Good for

Kotlin and JVM developers building their own MCP server
Teams who want Gradle files, tools and tests laid out for them
Developers choosing between stdio and Ktor SSE transports

Install kotlin-mcp-server-generator

Claude Code

Copy this prompt.

Install the kotlin-mcp-server-generator skill in Claude Code. Run this command:

npx skills add https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot --skill kotlin-mcp-server-generator

Then check that it loaded and tell me how to use it.

Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.

Requires Node.js.

The awesome-copilot README is written for GitHub Copilot and does not name Claude Code, so the Claude Code and Codex routes are the standard skill-folder routes. The kotlin-mcp-development plugin lists 1 skill and 1 agent in its plugin.json. The agent file has no tool list in its frontmatter.

Built from the package data we hold. Not yet tested by us. Source.

What's in the skill

Questions

What does kotlin-mcp-server-generator do?

It makes your agent create a ready-to-build Kotlin MCP server project. That includes Gradle files, a server, tools with typed inputs, tests and a README.

How do I install it?

Use the install box at the top of this page. In GitHub Copilot CLI it also comes with the kotlin-mcp-development plugin.

Which MCP SDK does it use?

The official io.modelcontextprotocol:kotlin-sdk, pinned to 0.7.2 in the build template. Check the latest SDK version before you build, since the template is a fixed snapshot.

Which transports does it show?

Stdio, and SSE through Ktor. SKILL.md also includes a multiplatform configuration for jvm, js and wasmJs.

Is it safe?

It bundles no scripts. It writes a new project, so use an empty folder. The generated build downloads libraries when you run Gradle, so review the dependency versions first.

Does it work in Claude Code?

The file is a standard SKILL.md and installs like any other skill. The awesome-copilot README targets GitHub Copilot, and nothing in the repo says this skill was tested in Claude.
