SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides best practices and patterns for building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers in Kotlin, simplifying the development of robust and efficient communication services.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Server Setup: Demonstrates how to initialize an MCP server using the Kotlin SDK.
  • Tool, Resource, and Prompt Integration: Shows how to add and configure tools, resources, and prompts for server functionality.
  • Transport Configuration: Covers setup for both Stdio and SSE (Ktor) transports.
  • Use Case: Develop a Kotlin-based microservice that exposes various data retrieval tools and real-time resource updates to other services via the MCP.

Quick Start

Configure your build.gradle.kts file with the necessary Kotlin SDK and Ktor dependencies.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build an MCP server in Kotlin?

To build an MCP server in Kotlin, initialize the server using the official io.modelcontextprotocol:kotlin-sdk, then register tools, resources, and prompts. Configure your build.gradle.kts with the necessary Kotlin SDK and Ktor dependencies to establish robust communication services.

How do I configure Stdio and SSE transport for a Kotlin MCP server?

Configure Stdio and SSE transport for a Kotlin MCP server by setting up Ktor alongside the Kotlin SDK. The Skill provides guidelines for transport configuration, enabling real-time resource updates and data retrieval tools across various communication channels.

Can I use Kotlin coroutines with the Model Context Protocol SDK?

Yes, you can use Kotlin coroutines with the Model Context Protocol SDK. The guidelines cover coroutine usage for asynchronous operations, ensuring efficient handling of concurrent tool execution and resource updates within MCP-compliant services.

How do I register tools, resources, and prompts in a Kotlin MCP server?

Register tools, resources, and prompts in a Kotlin MCP server by utilizing the official Kotlin SDK integration patterns. This configuration exposes various data retrieval tools and real-time resource updates to other services via the MCP.

What is the best way to handle errors and testing in Kotlin MCP servers?

Handle errors and testing in Kotlin MCP servers by following the provided best practices and patterns for the Kotlin SDK. The Skill covers error handling and testing strategies to ensure robust and efficient communication service development.

Do I need Ktor to implement SSE transport for an MCP server?

Yes, you need Ktor to implement SSE transport for an MCP server. The transport configuration guidelines specifically cover SSE setup with Ktor, complementing the standard Stdio transport to enable real-time microservice communication.
