- 01Search jOOQ documentation
- 02Retrieve SQL query examples
- 03Access code generation guidance
- 04Look up database support
- 05Search Query DSL and advanced topics
- 06Local full-text indexing with TF-IDF
Use cases
- 01Find a jOOQ query-building example
- 02Check database-specific support
- 03Look up code generation setup
- 04Research advanced jOOQ features
MCP support
The server exposes jOOQ documentation tools to MCP-compatible clients through Spring AI. The README does not specify a transport.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Servers that need sign-in will prompt on first connect.
Tools
Details
From the project READMEjOOQ MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI models with access to jOOQ documentation. This Spring Boot application uses Spring AI to expose jOOQ documentation as MCP tools, allowing AI systems to query and retrieve information about jOOQ features, SQL examples, and best practices.
Features
The MCP server provides the following tools:
- searchDocumentation: Search jOOQ documentation for specific topics
- getSqlExamples: Get SQL query building examples for specific operations
- getCodeGenerationGuide: Retrieve jOOQ code generation documentation
- getDatabaseSupport: Get database-specific support information
- getQueryDslReference: Get Query DSL reference for specific statement types
- getAdvancedFeatures: Access documentation for advanced jOOQ features
Getting Started
Prerequisites
- Java 21 or higher
- Maven 3.6+
Running the Application
-
Clone the repository:
git clone <repository-url> cd jooq-mcp -
Build the project:
./mvnw clean install -
Run the application:
./mvnw spring-boot:run
The MCP server will start and be available for connections from MCP clients.
Docker Deployment
-
Build the JAR file:
./mvnw clean package -
Build the Docker image:
docker build -t jooq-mcp . -
Run the Docker container:
docker run -p 8080:8080 jooq-mcp
Fly.io Deployment
This application is configured for deployment on Fly.io:
-
Install Fly CLI and authenticate:
brew install flyctl # or your preferred installation method fly auth login -
Deploy the application:
./mvnw clean package fly deploy
The application includes health checks at /actuator/health and is configured with auto-scaling.
Using with MCP Clients
This server can be used with any MCP-compatible AI client. The server exposes tools that allow AI models to:
- Search jOOQ documentation by keyword
- Retrieve specific SQL examples and code snippets
- Access database-specific configuration information
- Get guidance on code generation setup
- Find information about advanced jOOQ features
Configuration
The application can be configured via application.properties:
# MCP Server Configuration
spring.ai.mcp.server.name=jooq-documentation-mcp
spring.ai.mcp.server.version=1.0.0
spring.ai.mcp.server.type=SYNC
spring.ai.mcp.server.capabilities.tool=true
# Cache Configuration
spring.cache.type=caffeine
spring.cache.caffeine.spec=maximumSize=100,expireAfterWrite=1h
# jOOQ Documentation Crawler Configuration
jooq.documentation.crawler.max-depth=4
jooq.documentation.crawler.max-urls-per-section=100
jooq.documentation.crawler.timeout-ms=10000
jooq.documentation.crawler.cache-duration-hours=24
# Server Configuration - SSE Buffer Settings
server.tomcat.max-http-response-header-size=64KB
server.tomcat.max-swallow-size=10MB
Example Usage
When connected to an MCP client, you can ask questions like:
- "How do I create a SELECT statement in jOOQ?"
- "Show me examples of jOOQ INSERT operations"
- "What databases does jOOQ support?"
- "How do I configure jOOQ code generation?"
- "How do I use transactions in jOOQ?"
The server will fetch the relevant documentation and provide detailed answers with code examples.
Architecture
The application consists of:
- JooqDocumentationService: Main service class with @Tool annotated methods for MCP integration
- LocalJooqDocumentationService: Provides local documentation indexing and full-text search with TF-IDF scoring
- InvertedIndex: Implements advanced full-text search capabilities with relevance scoring
- JooqDocumentationCrawler: Crawls and fetches jOOQ documentation for local storage
- JooqDocumentationFetcher: Handles parsing and extraction of documentation content
- McpConfiguration: Spring configuration for MCP tool registration
- Caching: Caffeine-based caching to improve performance
Key Features
- Local Documentation Storage: Documentation is stored locally in
src/main/resources/docs/for faster access - Full-Text Search: Advanced search using TF-IDF scoring for better relevance
- Efficient Indexing: In-memory inverted index for fast document retrieval
- Code Example Extraction: Automatic extraction and categorization of code examples
Testing
Run the test suite:
./mvnw test
Development
The application uses:
- Spring Boot 3.5.4
- Spring AI 1.0.0 with MCP Server support
- JSoup for HTML parsing
- Caffeine for caching
To add new tools, create methods annotated with @Tool in the JooqDocumentationService class.
Comments
New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
