How to Set Up and Use Jules

The Jules MCP server is an unofficial integration that exposes Google's Jules autonomous coding agent to any MCP-compatible AI client, including Claude. It wraps the Jules API with tools for managing code sources, creating and monitoring agent sessions, approving execution plans, and sending messages to running sessions — enabling developers to orchestrate Jules coding tasks directly from their AI assistant without switching to the Jules web interface. It requires Python 3.13+ and a Jules API key.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.13 or later
  • uv package manager (recommended) or pip
  • A Google Jules API key (JULES_API_KEY)
  • An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop or Claude Code
1

Clone the repository

Clone the jules-mcp-server repository to your local machine.

git clone https://github.com/CodeAgentBridge/jules-mcp-server
cd jules-mcp-server
2

Install dependencies

Install the project using uv (recommended) or pip in editable mode.

# With uv (recommended)
uv sync

# Or with pip
pip install -e .
3

Set your Jules API key

Export your Jules API key as an environment variable. The SDK reads JULES_API_KEY automatically.

# Bash/Zsh
export JULES_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

# PowerShell
$Env:JULES_API_KEY = "your_api_key_here"
4

Run the server to verify it starts

Test that the server launches correctly using the fastmcp entry point.

uv run fastmcp run jules_mcp/jules_mcp.py:mcp
# or
python -m jules_mcp
5

Add to Claude Desktop configuration

Register the server in Claude Desktop's config file, passing the API key as an environment variable.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jules": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "--directory", "/path/to/jules-mcp-server", "fastmcp", "run", "jules_mcp/jules_mcp.py:mcp"],
      "env": {
        "JULES_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--directory", "/path/to/jules-mcp-server",

Prompts to try

Example prompts for interacting with Google Jules sessions via the MCP server.

- "List all available Jules sources"
- "Create a Jules session for source 'sources/abc123' with the prompt: analyze the codebase and identify potential performance bottlenecks"
- "Show me all active Jules sessions"
- "Approve the execution plan for Jules session 'sessions/xyz789'"
- "Send a message to Jules session 'sessions/xyz789': please also add unit tests for the changes you made"
- "Wait for Jules session 'sessions/xyz789' to complete and show me the results"

Troubleshooting Jules

Python version error — requires Python 3.13+

This server requires Python 3.13 or later. Check your version with 'python --version'. Install Python 3.13+ from python.org or use pyenv: 'pyenv install 3.13.0 && pyenv local 3.13.0'. With uv, run 'uv python install 3.13' then 'uv sync'.

JULES_API_KEY not found or authentication fails

Ensure the JULES_API_KEY environment variable is set in the env block of your MCP client config, not just in your shell profile (shell env vars are not automatically inherited by MCP clients). Verify the key is valid by testing it directly with the Jules API documentation.

uv command not found

Install uv with the official installer: 'curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh' (macOS/Linux) or 'powershell -c irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex' (Windows). Alternatively, use 'pip install -e .' and replace the uv run command with 'python -m jules_mcp' in your config.
