langchain4j-mcp-server-patterns

langchain4j-mcp-server-patterns is a skill for Claude Code from giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit. It costs 76 tokens per session (1,258 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Java patterns for implementing and connecting Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers with LangChain4j. MCP is a standard for exposing tools, resources, and prompts to AI applications, and these patterns include transport choices and capability filtering.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build Java MCP servers, connect LangChain4j to external MCP servers, expose tools or resources, filter capabilities, and review integrations for prompt-injection or side-effect risks.
Why use it?
They help you expose useful application functions to AI systems while limiting which capabilities each user, tenant, or runtime context can access. They also address safety risks, monitoring, resilience, and controlled failure around MCP calls.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

langchain4j-mcp-server-patterns scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

LangChain4j MCP Server Implementation Patterns

Overview

Use this skill to design and implement Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations with LangChain4j.

The main concerns are:

  • defining a clean tool, resource, and prompt surface
  • choosing the right transport and bootstrap model
  • filtering unsafe capabilities before exposing them to agents or applications

Keep SKILL.md focused on the implementation flow. Use the bundled references for expanded examples and API-level detail.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • building a Java MCP server that exposes tools, resources, or prompts
  • integrating LangChain4j with one or more external MCP servers
  • wiring MCP support into a Spring Boot application
  • filtering available tools by tenant, user role, or runtime context
  • adding observability, resilience, and safe failure handling around MCP interactions
  • reviewing an MCP integration for prompt-injection and side-effect risks

Typical trigger phrases include langchain4j mcp, java mcp server, mcp tool provider, spring boot mcp, and connect langchain4j to mcp.

Instructions

1. Design the MCP surface before writing code

Decide what the server should expose:

  • tools for actions with clear inputs and side effects
  • resources for read-only or structured data access
  • prompts only when a reusable template adds real value

Keep names stable, descriptions concrete, and schemas small enough for a client or model to understand quickly.

2. Implement providers with narrow responsibilities

Use separate classes for each concern:

  • tool provider for executable functions
  • resource provider for discoverable and readable data
  • prompt provider for reusable prompt templates

Validate arguments before execution and return clear error messages for invalid input or unavailable dependencies.

3. Choose the transport intentionally

Use:

  • stdio for local integrations, CLI tools, and sidecar processes
  • HTTP or SSE for remote or shared services

Pin external server versions and document how the process is started, authenticated, and monitored.
