Google Jules MCP Server
If you're searching for a way to drive Google's Jules coding agent from Claude, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, or any other MCP client, this is that bridge. google-jules-mcp-server is an unofficial Model Context Protocol server that exposes the full Jules API (v1alpha) as 13 tools, so your assistant can create sessions, poll status, approve plans, and fetch the resulting pull request without you leaving the chat. Its 16 documented tools cover jules, session, sessions, wait.
People connecting coding agent tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Google Jules MCP Server
before you install - you'll need
Set JULES_API_KEY, HTTPS_PROXY, NO_PROXY, JULES_LIVE_SMOKE_TEST before connecting.
Claude Code

02 · Evidence
Security posture
What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.
runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions
repo age created 2026-08-03 - young repo, little track record yet
license MIT - declared in the repository
npm package google-jules-mcp-server - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing
registry namespace io.github.georgeracu is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
