Beta v8

Elide's 8th beta brings new support for static websites, Kotlin Power Assert, and an experimental IDEA plugin. Node API coverage also improved, with new support for node:util and node:querystring. Many bugs were fixed, and Kotlin, Rust, and GraalVM all saw updates to new stable versions.

MCP integration

Using elide mcp now invokes an MCP server which can give advice about your project. Projects created with elide init automatically gain this functionality. Just map the command elide mcp as a stdout MCP server to add this to an existing project. Claude and other AI agents can seamlessly interrogate various MCP methods to gain knowledge about how your project works.

To see what the AI agent sees, run elide project advice.

Web builder

To try the web builder out, use elide init with the project web-static-worker. The web builder accepts Markdown, SCSS, CSS, TypeScript, and JavaScript sources, and builds them to a zipfile / directory root as a static site. This will soon power Elide's new docs.

Static servers

Speaking of static websites, in a static web project, run elide serve to see it in your browser. You can also run:

elide serve ./any/directory/path

... to start up a quick static server.

Installation & Usage

One-liner (macOS arm64 or Linux amd64):

curl -sSL elide.sh | bash -s - -- --install-rev=1.0.0-beta8

Or:

brew tap elide-dev/elide
brew install elide
