Java SDK for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), providing seamless integration between Java and Spring applications and MCP-compliant AI resources and tools.

Provides Java and Spring Framework integration for the Model Context Protocol. It enables Java applications to interact with AI models and tools through a standardized interface, supporting both synchronous and asynchronous communication patterns.

The project consists of two main modules:

Java implementation of the Model Context Protocol specification. It includes:

• Synchronous and asynchronous MCP Client and MCP Server implementations
• Standard MCP operations support (tool discovery, resource management, prompt handling, structured logging). Support for request and notification handling.
• Stdio and SSE transport implementations.
• Find more.

The Spring integration module provides Spring-specific functionality:

• Integration with Spring AI's function calling system
• Spring-friendly abstractions for MCP clients
• Auto-configurations (WIP)

• Java 17 or later
• Maven 3.6 or later
• Spring AI 1.0.0-M4 or later

Add the following dependencies to your Maven project:

<!-- For core MCP functionality -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.experimental</groupId>
    <artifactId>mcp</artifactId>
    <version>0.4.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>

<!-- For Spring AI integration -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.experimental</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-ai-mcp</artifactId>
    <version>0.4.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
