# Java & Spring MCP
|
|
|
|
Java SDK and Spring Framework integration for the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.org/docs/concepts/architecture), enabling standardized interaction with AI models and tools through both synchronous and asynchronous communication.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Core Components
|
|
|
|
### [MCP Java SDK](/docs/mcp)
|
|
Core implementation of the Model Context Protocol specification, providing:
|
|
|
|
- Synchronous and asynchronous [Client](/docs/mcp#mcp-client) and [Server](/docs/mcp#mcp-server) implementations
|
|
- Tool discovery and execution
|
|
- Resource management with URI templates
|
|
- Prompt handling and management
|
|
- Structured logging
|
|
- Request and Notification handling
|
|
|
|
### MCP Transports
|
|
|
|
#### Core Transports
|
|
- Stdio-based (`StdioClientTransport`, `StdioServerTransport`) for process-based communication
|
|
- Java HttpClient-based SSE client (`HttpClientSseClientTransport`) for HTTP SSE Client-side streaming
|
|
- Servlet-based SSE server (`HttpServletSseServerTransport`) for HTTP SSE Server streaming using traditional Servlet API
|
|
|
|
#### Optional SSE Transports
|
|
- [WebFlux SSE Transport](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/java-sdk/tree/main/mcp-transport/mcp-webflux-sse-transport) - Reactive HTTP streaming with Spring WebFlux (Client & Server)
|
|
- [WebMvc SSE Transport](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/java-sdk/tree/main/mcp-transport/mcp-webmvc-sse-transport) - Spring MVC based SSE transport (Server only).
|
|
You can use the core `HttpClientSseClientTransport` transport as a SSE client.
