The Model Context Protocol (MCP) Java SDK provides Java applications with a standardized interface for interacting with AI models and tools, supporting both synchronous and asynchronous communication. It is designed for Java developers building AI-powered applications, offering seamless integration with AI services and tools.

How It Works

The SDK implements the Model Context Protocol, enabling Java applications to act as clients or servers for AI interactions. It supports various communication patterns, abstracting the complexities of AI model integration into a consistent Java API.
