Spring Boot MySQL Project

This is a Spring Boot project configured with MySQL and HikariCP connection pool.

Prerequisites

• Java 17 or later
• Maven 3.6 or later
• MySQL 8.0 or later

Setup

1. Create a MySQL database named demo:

CREATE DATABASE demo;

2. Update the database credentials in src/main/resources/application.properties if they differ from the defaults:

• username: root
• password: root

Running the Application

1. Build the project:

mvn clean install

2. Run the application:

mvn spring-boot:run

OR

java -jar path/to/jar/java-mysql-mcp-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

The application will start on http://localhost:8080

Configuration

The application uses the following main configurations:

• Server port: 8080
• HikariCP connection pool size: 10
• Hibernate ddl-auto: update (automatically updates database schema)

You can modify these settings in src/main/resources/application.properties

spring.main.web-application-type: none is mandatory for connect to server via stdio, otherwise this error will be thrown:

2025-03-25T09:21:30.352-03:00  WARN 25352 --- [main] ConfigServletWebServerApplicationContext : Exception encountered during context initialization - cancelling refresh attempt: org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextException: Failed to start bean 'webServerStartStop'

Usage on MCP clients

db.hostenv value is the host and port of the database server, for example: host:port, eg: localhost:3306

        "-Dspring.ai.mcp.server.stdio=true",
        "-Dserver.port=8080",
        "-Ddb.hostenv=host:port",
        "-Ddb.schema=/demo",

        "/path/to/java-mysql-mcp/target/java-mysql-mcp-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Debug

You can use the mcp inspector for testing and debugging with the following command:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector java -Dspring.ai.mcp.server.stdio=true -jar /path/to/project/target/java-mysql-mcp-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

The logs output will be created in ./mcp-mysql-stdio-server.log
