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:

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 in ./mcp-mysql-stdio-server.log will only be shown if running with this tool
