FAQ from mcp-server-with-spring-ai

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standardized protocol that enables AI models to interact with external tools and resources in a structured way.

What is the MCP Java SDK?

The MCP Java SDK provides a Java implementation of the Model Context Protocol, enabling standardized interaction with AI models and tools through both synchronous and asynchronous communication patterns.

What is the role of the MCP Server?

The MCP Server integrates with external data sources and exposes functionalities (Tools) to interact with them.

What is the role of the MCP Client?

The MCP Client establishes and maintains connections with MCP servers.

What transport channels are supported by MCP?
