Building efficient MCP servers efficiently, with Quarkus
Details
Speaker:
Martin Kouba (https://x.com/martunek) - Quarkus core engineer at IBM
Abstract:
“Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that enables seamless integration between LLM applications and external data sources and tools.”
It's time to create your first MCP server with Quarkus!
In this talk, we will showcase the quarkus-mcp-server project - a Quarkus extension that provides declarative and programmatic APIs that enable developers to implement the MCP server features easily.
First, we'll describe the basics of the specification. Then, we'll explain the building blocks and APIs of the extension, execution model, configuration, and also why and how it follows the idiomatic approach used in fundamental Quarkus extensions (such as quarkus-rest). Finally, we will develop a simple MCP server to extend an AI agent.

MCP is one of the most important concepts in the current AI landscape that gives our interactions with LLMs superpowers that we can share. Come to learn how easy it can be to implement your own MCP server (and touch on MCP client too, for sure) in Java and Quarkus!
