mcp-springboot-server
Provides a Spring Boot server implementation of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes a simple weather-information service as MCP tools. It also mentions REST endpoints and SSE support and includes a small SSE client test example.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
Based on the provided README, there is no mention of authentication/authorization, rate limiting, or secure deployment practices. TLS enforcement cannot be verified from the docs; Spring Boot typically supports HTTPS but it is not documented here. Secret handling is not described; since no credentials appear in the README, secret exposure risk is unclear. Dependency hygiene cannot be assessed from the provided content.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
You want a lightweight example or reference implementation of an MCP server using Spring Boot/Spring AI and SSE transport, and you can run it in a trusted network or add your own security layer.
Avoid When
You need robust security controls (auth, scopes, audit, CSRF protection) out of the box, or you need clearly documented REST/OpenAPI contracts and operational guarantees.
Use Cases
- • Expose application functions (e.g., weather lookup) to MCP-capable clients/tools
- • Prototype MCP server integration using Spring Boot + Spring AI
- • Demonstrate SSE-based MCP client transport for tool calls
- • Local development/testing of MCP tool discovery and invocation
Not For
- • Production deployments needing strong auth/authorization, rate limiting, and security hardening without additional work
- • Use cases requiring official/complete OpenAPI/REST contract documentation for the non-MCP REST endpoints
Interface
Authentication
No authentication mechanism is described in the provided README/config snippets. The MCP server appears to be enabled via configuration only.
Pricing
Open-source example; no pricing model described.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ README is example-focused; operational behaviors (timeouts, retry semantics, error codes) are not described.
- ⚠ Tool discovery/invocation likely depends on Spring AI MCP conventions and may require correct annotations/facade naming (e.g., Facade suffix and @Component), which can be easy to miss.
