Java MCP server with Streamable HTTP, Netty transports, and stateless deployment

Java MCP server supporting Streamable HTTP and Netty transports, designed for stateless deployment.

Background

- MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard from Anthropic that lets AI models like Claude talk to external tools, data sources, and services, competing with OpenAI's function-calling approach. - This project is a Java implementation of an MCP server. Most MCP tooling is in Python or TypeScript; a Java version matters for companies integrating AI agents into existing JVM backends (banking, enterprise) without adding a new runtime. - "Streamable HTTP" and "Netty transports" enable real-time bidirectional streaming rather than fixed request-response, useful for long-running tasks. - "Stateless deployment" means each request is self-contained, suiting containerized, horizontally scaling environments like Kubernetes. - The project is open source, still in active development.
