Spring DevTools MCP Server
Note: This is not an official Spring project
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Spring developers that provides tools for AI assistants to query information about a running Spring application.

Setup
Add this to your Gradle build:
developmentOnly("com.jamesward:spring-devtools-mcp-server:0.0.3")
Then run your Spring app and point your code assistant to http://localhost:9999/sse
If your code assistant doesn't support SSE MCP servers, use uvx and the mcp-proxy:
uvx mcp-proxy http://localhost:9999/sse
Todo
- Configurable port
- Logging
