Quarkus Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server

Quarkus MCP Server

This Quarkus extension provides both declarative and programmatic APIs that enable developers to easily implement MCP¹ server features.

Note

The LangChain4j project provides the MCP client functionality, either as a low-level programmatic API or as a full-fledged integration into AI-infused applications.

Get Started

Step #1

Add the following dependency to your POM file:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.quarkiverse.mcp</groupId>
    <artifactId>quarkus-mcp-server-http</artifactId>
    <version>${quarkus-mcp-server-version}</version>
</dependency>

Note

This dependency includes both the legacy "HTTP/SSE" and the "Streamable HTTP" transport. Use the quarkus-mcp-server-stdio artifactId if you want to use the STDIO transport instead. See also the Transports section in the docs for more information.

Step #2

Add server features (prompts, resources and tools) represented by annotated business methods of CDI beans.

import jakarta.inject.Inject;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Path;

import io.quarkiverse.mcp.server.BlobResourceContents;
import io.quarkiverse.mcp.server.Prompt;
import io.quarkiverse.mcp.server.PromptArg;
import io.quarkiverse.mcp.server.PromptMessage;
import io.quarkiverse.mcp.server.Resource;
import io.quarkiverse.mcp.server.TextContent;
import io.quarkiverse.mcp.server.Tool;

// This class is automatically registered as a @Singleton CDI bean
public class MyFeatures {

    @Inject
    CodeService codeService;

    @Tool(description = "Converts the string value to lower case")
    String toLowerCase(String value) {
        return value.toLowerCase();
    }

    @Prompt(name = "code_assist")
    PromptMessage codeAssist(@PromptArg(name = "lang") String language) {
        return PromptMessage.withUserRole(new TextContent(codeService.assist(language)));
    }

    @Resource(uri = "file:///project/alpha.txt")
    byte[] alpha() throws IOException{
        return Files.readAllBytes(Path.of("alpha.txt"));
    }

}

Step #3

Run your Quarkus app and have fun!
