Executes commands in a persistent sbt shell session to avoid startup overhead.
Sponsored
SBT Shell provides an MCP server designed to maintain a long-running sbt session, significantly reducing the overhead typically associated with sbt's startup time. It offers a powerful `sbt_execute` tool that allows for direct interaction with your Scala project's build system, sending commands and capturing their full output. This efficient process is managed by detecting a specific byte sequence signaling command completion, ensuring reliable execution of various sbt tasks within a controlled environment.
