The point in the readme about using this with Claude Desktop to avoid API charges is a top tip for any coding-through-MCP setup with Claude.

I’m not a Clojure user but I’ve set up the Jetbrains MCP server and Claude Desktop has been working really well with it. I added a system prompt telling Claude to inspect the CLAUDE.md (used with Claude Code normally) whenever using Jetbrains to get project context, which is also working out really well.
