Spring Ai Mcp

What is Spring Ai Mcp?

Spring Ai Mcp demonstrates how to implement a chat-based interface for communicating with microservices using Spring AI and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The system allows users to interact with various microservices through natural language chat, making it easier to perform operations across different services.

How to use Spring Ai Mcp?

Clone the repository, build the project with mvn clean install, then start each microservice and the chat client in separate terminals using mvn spring-boot:run -pl <module-name>. Access the chat client application, type requests in natural language, and the system will parse, route, and execute the requested operations.

Key features of Spring Ai Mcp

• Natural language processing for service interactions
• Unified chat interface for all microservices
• Real-time communication with multiple services
• Seamless integration of new microservices

Use cases of Spring Ai Mcp

• View personal details of a user via chat
• Query accounts belonging to a person
• View transactions for previously listed accounts with context maintained
• Extend the system by adding new microservices implementing MCP
