The SDK, which includes a Spring Boot starter, allows Java developers to expose tools, resources, or prompts to MCP-compatible agents without implementing protocol plumbing from scratch. The project also provides MySQL and Redis servers as local stdio MCP servers to keep database credentials secure within the user's environment.", "body_md": "Hi HN,\n\nI built an open-source Java SDK for building Model Context Protocol servers:\n\n[https://github.com/6000fish/mcp-java](https://github.com/6000fish/mcp-java)\n\nIt is intended for Java developers who want to expose tools, resources, or prompts to MCP-compatible agents without implementing the protocol plumbing from scratch.\n\nThe project includes:\n\nThe SDK is available on Maven Central:\n\n```\n<dependency>\n    <groupId>io.github.6000fish</groupId>\n    <artifactId>mcp-sdk</artifactId>\n    <version>0.1.1</version>\n</dependency>\n\n<dependency>\n    <groupId>io.github.6000fish</groupId>\n    <artifactId>mcp-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>\n    <version>0.1.1</version>\n</dependency>\n```\n\nThe MySQL and Redis servers are local stdio MCP servers, because database/cache connectors are usually safer to run inside the user's own environment instead of exposing credentials to a hosted remote endpoint.\n\nGitHub:\n\n[https://github.com/6000fish/mcp-java](https://github.com/6000fish/mcp-java)\n\nRelease:\n\n[https://github.com/6000fish/mcp-java/releases/tag/v0.1.1](https://github.com/6000fish/mcp-java/releases/tag/v0.1.1)\n\nFeedback is welcome.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/mcp-java-sdk-build-model-context-protocol-servers-in-java", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/6000fish/mcp-java-sdk-build-model-context-protocol-servers-in-java-in6", "published_at": "2026-06-12 03:29:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-12 03:41:50.704694+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "ai-infrastructure", "ai-agents", "artificial-intelligence"], "entities": ["MCP Java SDK", "Model Context Protocol", "Maven Central", "MySQL", "Redis", "GitHub"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/mcp-java-sdk-build-model-context-protocol-servers-in-java", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/mcp-java-sdk-build-model-context-protocol-servers-in-java.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/mcp-java-sdk-build-model-context-protocol-servers-in-java.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/mcp-java-sdk-build-model-context-protocol-servers-in-java.jsonld"}}
