What’s the consensus on LLM aided coding for Clojure on Emacs? Is it worth investing the time on? Does the latency cause any issues like blocking user input too much?

I would like to see clojure-mcp integrated into gptel that would be awesome, I have not come across claude-code.el does that work with clojure-mcp I may give it a try if it does ?

You can integrate clojure-mcp with gptel. Gptel has support for mcp servers through mcp.el. There is documentation about it on the gptel repo - however the downside is you need to use the api key. With claude code (and implicitly claude-code.el) and claude desktop you can use your normal Claude subscription

Also, yes, claude-code.el (which is just a emacs simple wrapper over claude code) work with clojure-mcp. You can configure claude desktop to have support for clojure-mcp as in the docs, and then in a terminal, run claude mcp add-from-claude-desktop

I assumed that clojure-mcp did not work from @ed121 comment where he said he was working on it I did find mcp.el but have not tried it yet based on that comment

I got it to work but I admit the experience was not great

Oliver Marks 2025-06-18T10:17:39.763699Z

okay good to know

Tool use works out of the box, but gptel doesn't support other things exposed by an MCP.

Ed Paget 2025-06-18T13:32:17.266989Z

Also I'm not sure tool using LLMs are super cost efficient on a personal API token

I don't really like LLM autocompletion, but I've used aidermacs, and aider.el for prompt-based LLM code generation via aider, and it's been pretty nice.

I'm working on getting clojure-mcp working within gptel with a similar workflow using the gptel chat butter or its gptel-rewrite function: https://clojurians.slack.com/archives/C068E9L5M2Q/p1749848540759959

Ovi Stoica 2025-06-14T16:41:44.409989Z

Also if you’re into Claude look at Claude-code.el - it’s a very pleasant experience This is for agentic assistance not code completion

Me and Aidermacs had to go our separate ways. We just didn't vibe.
