MCP Jina Java MCP Server

Provides web content searching and fetching via the Jina Reader API for MCP clients.

Installation

Add the following to your MCP client configuration file.

Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "garcheng-mcp-server-jina-java": {
      "command": "java",
      "args": [
        "-Dspring.ai.mcp.server.stdio=true",
        "-jar",
        "/the path of the jar/mcp-server-jina-java-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar",
        "jina.api.api-key= Your jina key"
      ]
    }
  }
}

You run a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that leverages the Jina Reader API to search and fetch web content. This server lets you query web results and fetch pages through a lightweight local process, making it easy to power your MCP client with up-to-date content from the web.

How to use

You connect to this MCP server from an MCP client to perform two primary actions: search the web and fetch content from a URL. Use the client’s MCP call to send a search query and your server will return relevant results, or provide a URL and have the server retrieve and return the page content.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed. Ensure you can run Java from the command line.

1. Prepare the MCP server configuration. You will start the server locally using Java and the provided jar.

2. Start the MCP server with the following command. This runs the MCP server jar and passes the necessary runtime options and API key argument.

java \
  -Dspring.ai.mcp.server.stdio=true \
  -jar \
  /the path of the jar/mcp-server-jina-java-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar \
  jina.api.api-key= Your jina key

Additional notes

Configuration is provided as a local stdio MCP server. The command above runs the Java-based server and enables stdio MCP communication. Replace the jar path with the actual location of your mcp-server-jina-java-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar and supply your real Jina API key.
