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
• Test Spring devtools reload stuff
• Add more tools (maybe just use Actuator)
• Contribute to the official Spring devtools
