AssistAI is an Eclipse IDE plugin that exposes the whole IDE as an MCP server. Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or any MCP client can read, navigate, edit, refactor, build, test, run, and debug Java projects through Eclipse's own APIs — so incremental compilation, workspace sync, and local history stay intact instead of going stale when an agent edits files on disk. Ships five endpoints (ide, coder, runner, context, git) plus a built-in LLM chat view.
