Java MCP Server Generator

Generate a complete, production-ready MCP server in Java using the official Java SDK with Maven or Gradle.

Project Generation

When asked to create a Java MCP server, generate a complete project with this structure:

- ✅ Structured logging with SLF4J
- ✅ Full test coverage

## Requirements

- Java 17 or later
- Maven 3.6+ or Gradle 7+

## Build

### Maven
```bash
mvn clean package

Gradle

./gradlew build

Run

Maven

java -jar target/my-mcp-server-1.0.0.jar

Gradle

./gradlew run

Testing

Maven

mvn test

## Generation Instructions

1. **Ask for project name and package**
2. **Choose build tool** (Maven or Gradle)
3. **Generate all files** with proper package structure
4. **Use Reactive Streams** for async handlers
5. **Include comprehensive logging** with SLF4J
6. **Add tests** for all handlers
7. **Follow Java conventions** (camelCase, PascalCase)
8. **Include error handling** with proper responses
9. **Document public APIs** with Javadoc
10. **Provide both sync and async** examples

Use Cases

  • Generate a new MCP server project with Java and Maven
  • Create MCP tools that expose reusable functionality to LLMs
  • Build MCP resources for dynamic content delivery
  • Implement MCP prompts for structured LLM interactions
  • Set up test infrastructure for MCP handlers
  • Configure MCP server to integrate with Claude Desktop

Quality Notes

  • Well-structured skill with clear project generation flow and complete Maven/Gradle templates
  • Provides comprehensive Java package structure with proper separation of concerns (tools, resources, prompts)
  • Includes production-ready error handling patterns in all handler implementations
  • Detailed test templates with assertions and edge case handling (division by zero)
  • Reactive Streams/Project Reactor patterns properly demonstrated with Mono and Disposable
  • SLF4J logging integrated throughout with appropriate debug and info levels
  • README template includes integration steps for Claude Desktop and build instructions
  • Java 17+ specified explicitly with Maven compiler plugin configuration
  • Clear generation instructions (10 steps) guide the agent through the complete process
  • Good use of templates with placeholder package names (com.example.mcp) for easy customization
