What is MCP Host Project?
This project is a demonstration of using Spring AI to build MCP servers (Geocoder and Timezone services) and an MCP client (MCP Host) that interacts with an LLM to retrieve geographical information. It leverages the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to streamline contextual interactions with AI models.
How to use MCP Host Project?
To use this project, first start the Geocoder and Timezone services using mvn spring-boot:run in their respective directories. Then, start the MCP Host application. Once running, you can enter city names in the console, and the system will use the LLM to provide latitude, longitude, and timezone information for the entered city.
