spring-ai-mcp-server
Spring Boot + Spring AI MCP Server that generates Excel and PowerPoint documents from AI prompts via REST endpoints. Supports asynchronous document generation, document status polling by documentId, and downloading generated files (Excel/PPT) from local temp storage.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
Only the OpenAI API key is mentioned (via OPENAI_API_KEY). The README does not document authentication/authorization for the REST API, HTTPS requirements, CSRF protections (if applicable), logging redaction, or rate limiting. As an LLM-backed generator producing files, it may be vulnerable to abuse (prompt injection, resource exhaustion) if endpoints are exposed without controls.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
You need a local/self-hosted Java service to turn text prompts into Excel/PPT files and you can secure the service at the network layer.
Avoid When
You cannot safely expose an LLM-backed document generation endpoint (e.g., without auth/rate limiting) or you need clear operational contracts (SLA, error codes, retries, idempotency).
Use Cases
- • Auto-generate Excel reports from structured sections and content prompts
- • Auto-generate PowerPoint presentations from content prompts
- • Provide an internal service for document generation workflows that call an LLM (OpenAI) and produce Office files
Not For
- • Production use cases that require strong authentication/authorization controls out of the box
- • Use cases needing formal SLAs, explicit retry/idempotency guarantees, or robust rate-limit handling
- • Environments that require strict data residency or compliance controls that are not documented here
Interface
Authentication
README does not describe any authentication for the exposed REST endpoints; securing access to localhost:8080 externally is implied but not documented.
Pricing
No pricing model described; costs primarily depend on the underlying OpenAI usage through Spring AI.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ REST endpoints are described via curl examples but there is no documented authentication/authorization, error schema, or rate-limit behavior for automated agents.
- ⚠ File download endpoints take {fileName} in the URL; agents must reliably persist the returned documentId/fileName to avoid broken links.
