Kotlin Multiplatform project with SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose, Compose for Wear OS, Compose for Desktop and Compose for Web clients along with Ktor backend. Currently running on

• Android (Jetpack Compose)
• Android App Widget (Compose based Glance API - contributed by https://github.com/yschimke)
• Wear OS (Compose for Wear OS - primarily developed by https://github.com/yschimke)
• iOS (SwiftUI)
• Swift Executable Package
• Desktop (Compose for Desktop)
• Web (Compose for Web - Wasm based)
• JVM (small Ktor back end service + Main.kt in common module)
• MCP server (using same shared KMP code)

The project is included as sample in the official Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile docs and also the Google Dev Library

Note that this repository very much errs on the side of minimalism to help more clearly illustrate key moving parts of a Kotlin Multiplatform project and also to hopefully help someone just starting to explore KMP to get up and running for first time (and is of course primarily focused on use of Jetpack Compose and SwiftUI). If you're at the stage of moving beyond this then I'd definitely recommend checking out KaMPKit from Touchlab. I also have the following samples that demonstrate the use of a variety of Kotlin Multiplatform libraries (and also use Jetpack Compose and SwiftUI).

Building

Open PeopleInSpaceSwiftUI' for iOS projects.

To run backend you can either run ./gradlew :backend:run or run Server.kt directly from Android Studio. After doing that you should then for example be able to open http://localhost:9090/astros_local.json in a browser.

Similarly for Kotlin/Wasm based version ./gradlew :compose-web:wasmBrowserDevelopmentRun

This client is available in compose-desktop module and can be run using ./gradlew :compose-desktop:run.

The mcp-server module uses the Kotlin MCP SDK to expose an MCP tools endpoint (returning list of people in space) that can for example be plugged in to Claude Desktop as shown below. That module uses same KMP shared code (that uses for example Ktor, SQLDelight and Koin)

To integrate the MCP server with Claude Desktop you need to firstly run gradle shadowJar` task and then select "Edit Config" under Developer Settings and add something like the following (update with your path)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kotlin-peopleinspace": {
      "command": "java",
      "args": [
        "-jar",
        "/Users/john.oreilly/github/PeopleInSpace/mcp-server/build/libs/serverAll.jar",
        "--stdio"
      ]
    }
  }
}
