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.
People who work with jules, session and sessions and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
