\u003cgroupId\u003eio.modelcontextprotocol.sdk\u003c/groupId\u003e\n    \u003cartifactId\u003emcp\u003c/artifactId\u003e\n    \u003cversion\u003e0.14.1\u003c/version\u003e\n\u003c/dependency\u003e\n```\n\n### Server Creation\n\n```java\nMcpServer server = McpServerBuilder.builder()\n    .serverInfo(\"my-server\", \"1.0.0\")\n    .capabilities(cap -\u003e cap\n        .tools(true)\n        .resources(true)\n        .prompts(true))\n    .build();\n```\n\n### Tool Handler\n\n```java\nserver.addToolHandler(\"process\", (args) -\u003e {\n    return Mono.fromCallable(() -\u003e {\n        String result = process(args);\n        return ToolResponse.success()\n            .addTextContent(result)\n            .build();\n    }).subscribeOn(Schedulers.boundedElastic());\n});\n```\n\n### Transport Configuration\n\n```java\nStdioServerTransport transport = new StdioServerTransport();\nserver.start(transport).subscribe();\n```\n\n### Spring Boot Integration\n\n```java\n@Configuration\npublic class McpConfiguration {\n    @Bean\n    public McpServerConfigurer mcpServerConfigurer() {\n        return server -\u003e server\n            .serverInfo(\"spring-server\", \"1.0.0\")\n            .capabilities(cap -\u003e cap.tools(true));\n    }\n}\n```\n\n## Best Practices\n\n### Reactive Streams\n\nUse Mono for single results, Flux for streams:\n\n```java\n// Single result\nMono\u003cToolResponse\u003e result = Mono.just(\n    ToolResponse.success().build()\n);\n\n// Stream of items\nFlux\u003cResource\u003e resources = Flux.fromIterable(getResources());\n```\n\n### Error Handling\n\nProper error handling in reactive chains:\n\n```java\nserver.addToolHandler(\"risky\", (args) -\u003e {\n    return Mono.fromCallable(() -\u003e riskyOperation(args))\n        .map(result -\u003e ToolResponse.success()\n            .addTextContent(result)\n            .build())\n        .onErrorResume(ValidationException.class, e -\u003e\n            Mono.just(ToolResponse.error()\n                .message(\"Invalid input\")\n                .build()))\n        .doOnError(e -\u003e log.error(\"Error\", e));\n});\n```\n\n### Logging\n\nUse SLF4J for structured logging:\n\n```java\nprivate static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MyClass.class);\n\nlog.info(\"Tool called: {}\", toolName);\nlog.debug(\"Processing with args: {}\", args);\nlog.error(\"Operation failed\", exception);\n```\n\n### JSON Schema\n\nUse fluent builder for schemas:\n\n```java\nJsonSchema schema = JsonSchema.object()\n    .property(\"name\", JsonSchema.string()\n        .description(\"User's name\")\n        .required(true))\n    .property(\"age\", JsonSchema.integer()\n        .minimum(0)\n        .maximum(150))\n    .build();\n```\n\n## Common Patterns\n\n### Synchronous Facade\n\nFor blocking operations:\n\n```java\nMcpSyncServer syncServer = server.toSyncServer();\n\nsyncServer.addToolHandler(\"blocking\", (args) -\u003e {\n    String result = blockingOperation(args);\n    return ToolResponse.success()\n        .addTextContent(result)\n        .build();\n});\n```\n\n### Resource Subscription\n\nTrack subscriptions:\n\n```java\nprivate final Set\u003cString\u003e subscriptions = ConcurrentHashMap.newKeySet();\n\nserver.addResourceSubscribeHandler((uri) -\u003e {\n    subscriptions.add(uri);\n    log.info(\"Subscribed to {}\", uri);\n    return Mono.empty();\n});\n```\n\n### Async Operations\n\nUse bounded elastic for blocking calls:\n\n```java\nserver.addToolHandler(\"external\", (args) -\u003e {\n    return Mono.fromCallable(() -\u003e callExternalApi(args))\n        .timeout(Duration.ofSeconds(30))\n        .subscribeOn(Schedulers.boundedElastic());\n});\n```\n\n### Context Propagation\n\nPropagate observability context:\n\n```java\nserver.addToolHandler(\"traced\", (args) -\u003e {\n    return Mono.deferContextual(ctx -\u003e {\n        String traceId = ctx.get(\"traceId\");\n        log.info(\"Processing with traceId: {}\", traceId);\n        return processWithContext(args, traceId);\n    });\n});\n```\n\n## Spring Boot Integration\n\n### Configuration\n\n```java\n@Configuration\npublic class McpConfig {\n    @Bean\n    public McpServerConfigurer configurer() {\n        return server -\u003e server\n            .serverInfo(\"spring-app\", \"1.0.0\")\n            .capabilities(cap -\u003e cap\n                .tools(true)\n                .resources(true));\n    }\n}\n```\n\n### Component-Based Handlers\n\n```java\n@Component\npublic class SearchToolHandler implements ToolHandler {\n\n    @Override\n    public String getName() {\n        return \"search\";\n    }\n\n    @Override\n    public Tool getTool() {\n        return Tool.builder()\n            .name(\"search\")\n            .description(\"Search for data\")\n            .inputSchema(JsonSchema.object()\n                .property(\"query\", JsonSchema.string().required(true)))\n            .build();\n    }\n\n    @Override\n    public Mono\u003cToolResponse\u003e handle(JsonNode args) {\n        String query = args.get(\"query\").asText();\n        return searchService.search(query)\n            .map(results -\u003e ToolResponse.success()\n                .addTextContent(results)\n                .build());\n    }\n}\n```\n\n## Testing\n\n### Unit Tests\n\n```java\n@Test\nvoid testToolHandler() {\n    McpServer server = createTestServer();\n    McpSyncServer syncServer = server.toSyncServer();\n\n    ObjectNode args = new ObjectMapper().createObjectNode()\n        .put(\"key\", \"value\");\n\n    ToolResponse response = syncServer.callTool(\"test\", args);\n\n    assertFalse(response.isError());\n    assertEquals(1, response.getContent().size());\n}\n```\n\n### Reactive Tests\n\n```java\n@Test\nvoid testReactiveHandler() {\n    Mono\u003cToolResponse\u003e result = toolHandler.handle(args);\n\n    StepVerifier.create(result)\n        .expectNextMatches(response -\u003e !response.isError())\n        .verifyComplete();\n}\n```\n\n## Platform Support\n\nThe Java SDK supports:\n\n- Java 17+ (LTS recommended)\n- Jakarta Servlet 5.0+\n- Spring Boot 3.0+\n- Project Reactor 3.5+\n\n## Architecture\n\n### Modules\n\n- `mcp-core` - Core implementation (stdio, JDK HttpClient, Servlet)\n- `mcp-json` - JSON abstraction layer\n- `mcp-jackson2` - Jackson implementation\n- `mcp` - Convenience bundle (core + Jackson)\n- `mcp-spring` - Spring integrations (WebClient, WebFlux, WebMVC)\n\n### Design Decisions\n\n- **JSON**: Jackson behind abstraction (`mcp-json`)\n- **Async**: Reactive Streams with Project Reactor\n- **HTTP Client**: JDK HttpClient (Java 11+)\n- **HTTP Server**: Jakarta Servlet, Spring WebFlux/WebMVC\n- **Logging**: SLF4J facade\n- **Observability**: Reactor Context\n\n## Ask Me About\n\n- Server setup and configuration\n- Tool, resource, and prompt implementations\n- Reactive Streams patterns with Reactor\n- Spring
