v0.16.0

R package 0.16.0 · clauder-mcp 0.16.0 · clauder 0.1.0

Agents can now work in a live Python session as well as an R one, and both
halves work in Positron as well as RStudio.

Python sessions

import clauder
clauder.start()

The agent executes code in that session, where your loaded dataframes and
fitted models already are, and sees the figures it draws. Works in Positron,
Jupyter, VS Code, or a bare REPL. clauder is a separate PyPI package, so R
users never install it and Python users never need R.

Sessions announce their language, so one bridge reaches both and an agent picks
either by name:

Active sessions (2):
  analysis [python] — port 8790, pid 8088, started 2026-09-14T10:50:09
  modelling [r] — port 8787, pid 84615, started 2026-09-14T09:12:44

A Python session gets the live environment, plots, logging with attribution,
and multi-agent coordination. It does not get the editor or the manuscript
audit tools, which drive the IDE through rstudioapi and have no Python
equivalent. The 27 tools that run R code now say so plainly instead of
returning a Python syntax error. Full matrix in the README.

Positron

R in Positron needs nothing special, but three things were stopping it, and two
of them also affected RStudio.

• Editor tools required a non-empty ctx$id. Positron returns a usable
  editor context whose id is NULL, and every rstudioapi call here treats
  id = NULL as the current document, so all four editor tools refused to work
  there. Where RStudio fills an id in, behaviour is unchanged.
• A supplied path could not open a file into an empty editor, because the
  context check ran first. It now opens the path, then reads the context.
• documentOpen falls back to navigateToFile, which Positron implements.

suggest_edit stages the change unsaved rather than using
showEditSuggestion(), which Positron does not implement. Accept by saving,
reject with undo.

Fixes

• search_project_code could hang R for minutes. It walked root_dir
  recursively with no bound, and root_dir defaults to ".". In a session
  whose working directory was the home folder it read every R file on the
  machine, with no output and no way to tell what was wrong. It now refuses the
  home directory and / rather than walking them by accident, skips vendored
  directories, and caps the scan with a partial-search notice. Pass
  allow_wide = TRUE to do it deliberately.
• The coordination roster listed agents from weeks earlier. The log is
  append-only, so a reused session name accumulates every agent that ever wrote
  to it. Agents not seen for a day are now omitted; the log is untouched and
  hide_after_s = Inf shows all of it.
• A busy port now moves to the next free one instead of failing.

citation("ClaudeR") prints a formatted reference and BibTeX entry, and GitHub
shows a "Cite this repository" button.

Install

devtools::install_github("IMNMV/ClaudeR")

Restart R afterwards. For the bridge, uvx --refresh clauder-mcp. For Python
sessions, pip install clauder.
