Maven Tools Mcp
Let your coding agent look up JVM library versions, coordinates, and Maven Central metadata instead of guessing Gradle or Maven deps.
Overview
Maven Tools MCP is a MCP server for the Build phase that answers JVM dependency questions using Maven Central.
What is this MCP server?
- Queries Maven Central for JVM dependency intelligence from the agent
- Ships as Docker OCI package with stdio MCP transport
- Optional HTTP variant with health probes for remote hosting
- Context7-free noc7 image when you want no external doc integration
- Version 3.0.1 on the MCP registry schema
- Registry version 3.0.1
- 3 published Docker variants: default, http, noc7
- stdio transport via docker.io/arvindand/maven-tools-mcp:latest
What problem does it solve?
Agents routinely suggest wrong or outdated Java library versions because they cannot query Maven Central live.
Who is it for?
Solo builders maintaining JVM backends who want dependency research inside the same agent session as code edits.
Skip if: Pure Node, Python, or Rust projects with no JVM toolchain.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent returns real coordinates and version context so pom.xml and Gradle changes stick on the first try.
- Live Maven Central-backed dependency answers in chat
- Runnable stdio or HTTP MCP endpoint from registry metadata
- Optional noc7 image without Context7 doc integration
