How to Set Up and Use Spring Boot
MCP Spring Boot Server is a reference implementation that demonstrates how to expose tools through the Model Context Protocol using Spring Boot and the Spring AI MCP library. It provides weather information tools over Server-Sent Events and shows developers how to build, configure, and test a Java-based MCP server that any MCP-compatible client can consume.
Prerequisites
- JDK 17 or later installed
- Maven 3.6 or later installed
- Spring Boot 3.2.0 or later (managed via the Maven POM)
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop for testing
- Basic familiarity with Spring Boot application development
Clone the repository
Clone the mcp-springboot-server repository to your local machine.
git clone https://github.com/James-Zou/mcp-springboot-server.git
cd mcp-springboot-serverBuild the project with Maven
Use Maven to compile the project and download all Spring AI MCP dependencies.
mvn clean installStart the Spring Boot MCP server
Run the application. It starts on port 8080 by default and exposes MCP tools via Server-Sent Events at /mcp/messages.
mvn spring-boot:run
# Server starts at http://localhost:8080
# MCP SSE endpoint: http://localhost:8080/mcp/messagesConfigure Claude Desktop to connect to the running server
Add the Spring Boot MCP server to your claude_desktop_config.json. Since it uses SSE transport, the client connects to the HTTP endpoint rather than launching a subprocess.
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-springboot": {
"url": "http://localhost:8080/mcp/messages",
"transport": "sse"
}
}
}Customize the server for your own tools
To add your own MCP tools, create a Spring component annotated with @Tool from the spring-ai-mcp library and register it as a bean. Adjust application.properties to set the server name and version.
# src/main/resources/application.properties
server.port=8080
spring.ai.mcp.server.name=my-mcp-service
spring.ai.mcp.server.version=1.0.0
spring.ai.mcp.server.type=SYNC
spring.ai.mcp.server.sse-message-endpoint=/mcp/messagesSpring Boot Examples
Client configuration
claude_desktop_config.json configuration for the Spring Boot MCP server running locally on port 8080 over SSE transport.
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-springboot": {
"url": "http://localhost:8080/mcp/messages",
"transport": "sse"
}
}
}Prompts to try
Example prompts to use once the Spring Boot MCP server is running and connected.
- "What is the current weather in Shanghai?"
- "Get me the weather information for New York City"
- "List all available MCP tools provided by this server"
- "What city would you recommend visiting based on today's weather?"
- "Compare the weather in London and Tokyo right now"Troubleshooting Spring Boot
Port 8080 is already in use when starting the server
Change the port in src/main/resources/application.properties by setting server.port=8081 (or any free port), then update the URL in your claude_desktop_config.json to match.
Claude Desktop cannot connect to the SSE endpoint
Verify the Spring Boot server is running by visiting http://localhost:8080/mcp/messages in a browser or with curl. Ensure no firewall is blocking port 8080 and that the transport type in the config is set to 'sse'.
Maven build fails with dependency resolution errors
Ensure your Maven settings.xml is configured to reach Maven Central. If behind a corporate proxy, add proxy settings to ~/.m2/settings.xml. Run mvn clean install -U to force dependency updates.
