This Spring AI MCP server provides access to information about Spring projects from api.spring.io, including release versions and support generations. It allows you to query details about Spring project releases, latest versions, and support timeframes through natural language prompts.
To build the project, run:
./mwnw clean package
To configure your client to use this MCP server, add the following configuration to your MCP server configs. For example, in Cline when using VSCode:
"spring-project-information": {
"command": "java",
"args": [
"-jar",
"<path-to-project>/target/spring-io-api-mcp-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar"
]
}
Be sure to replace <path-to-project> with the actual path to your project directory.
The MCP server can answer various questions about Spring project releases and support information. Here are some example prompts you can use:
To find out which versions of a specific Spring project have been released:
Which versions of the spring-boot project got released?
To get information about the latest version of a Spring project:
What is the latest version of the spring-boot project that got released?
To check support timeframes for the latest version:
Until when is the latest version of spring-boot supported in the open-source?
To check support timeframes for specific versions:
Until when is spring-boot 2.7.x supported in the open-source?
To inquire about potential upcoming releases:
Can you tell me if spring-data-core will have an updated release within the next 90 days
To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:
claude mcp add-json "spring-project-information" '{"command":"java","args":["-jar","<path-to-project>/target/spring-io-api-mcp-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar"]}'See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.
There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.
If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.
To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".
When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:
{
"mcpServers": {
"spring-project-information": {
"command": "java",
"args": [
"-jar",
"<path-to-project>/target/spring-io-api-mcp-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar"
]
}
}
}To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.
Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.
The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.
You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
