spring-ai-mcp-server-patterns

spring-ai-mcp-server-patterns is a skill for Claude Code from giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit. It costs 76 tokens per session (2,332 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Patterns for creating Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers with Spring AI. MCP is a standard way for AI applications to discover and call tools, use resources, and apply reusable prompts; the patterns cover tool handlers, security, and local or network transports.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build Spring Boot MCP servers, declare AI-callable tools and prompt templates, expose resources, configure stdio, HTTP, or SSE transports, and secure the resulting endpoints.
Why use it?
They provide a defined way to expose application functions to AI clients instead of connecting each client with custom interfaces. They also help choose how clients communicate, whether through a local process, HTTP, or streaming HTTP.

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

spring-ai-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.

Spring AI MCP Server Implementation Patterns

Implements MCP servers with Spring AI for AI function calling, tool handlers, and MCP transport configuration.

Overview

Production-ready MCP server patterns: @Tool functions, @PromptTemplate resources, and stdio/HTTP/SSE transports with Spring AI security.

When to Use

MCP servers, Spring AI function calling, AI tools, tool calling, custom tool handlers, Spring Boot MCP, resource endpoints, or MCP transport configuration.

@Tool(description) Method Declare AI-callable tool
@ToolParam(value) Parameter Document tool parameter for AI
@PromptTemplate(name) Method Declare reusable prompt template
@PromptParam(value) Parameter Document prompt parameter

Transport Types

Instructions

1. Project Setup

Add Spring AI MCP dependencies (see Quick Reference above), configure the AI model in application.properties, and enable MCP with @EnableMcpServer:

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableMcpServer
public class MyMcpApplication {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(MyMcpApplication.class, args);
    }
}

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
