About us
This group started January 2016.
We are about extraordinary advances in software creation, maintenance, and hosting.
We are a gathering of good natured people for encouragement and support of what you do.
This is your group! How you can help:
- Help to publicize events at work, with friends, and especially social media.
- Come to meetings and participate.
- Consider speaking or recruiting people you know.
- Help to recruit sponsors for food & beverages and raffles.
- Suggestions and feedback encouraged.
All are welcomed and encouraged to join, whether you are a newbie or seasoned veteran.
We co-meet with Boulder Java Users Group.

7:15-8:30: AI Superpowers: Model Context Protocol in Java & Spring AI
On their own, Large Language Models (LLMs) are only able to generate responses based on their training. While their training may be vast, it will not include any actual data from your organization's databases and systems. What's more, an LLM may be able to answer questions, they are unable to actually interact with your enterprise and take action.
Enter Model Context Protocol (MCP). MCP defines a standard with which you can collection a set of related tools, prompts, and resources and make those available to an LLM to make use of. With MCP, your LLMs will be able to interact with databases, APIs, and other components in your enterprise to get things done.
Building and using MCP in Java has never been easier than it is now with Spring AI. Spring AI introduced support for MCP in its 1.0 release and improved upon it tremendously in Spring AI 2.0.
In this example-driven session, you'll learn how to build an MCP server in Java using Spring AI, integrate it with clients such as Claude Code and Cursor, and even create your own MCP clients.About
