Overview
| Sample | Type | Transport | MCP Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| simple-streamable-server | Server | Streamable HTTP | Tools, Resources, Prompts, Logging |
| kotlinlang-mcp-server | Server | Streamable HTTP | Tools |
| kotlin-mcp-server | Server | STDIO, SSE | Tools, Resources, Prompts |
| weather-stdio-server | Server | STDIO | Tools |
| kotlin-mcp-client | Client | STDIO | Tool discovery & invocation |
| notebooks | Client (Notebook) | Streamable HTTP | Tool discovery & invocation |
Getting Started
- Building a server? Start with simple-streamable-server — it uses the recommended Streamable HTTP transport and covers tools, resources, prompts, and logging.
- Building a client? Open the notebooks sample for a step-by-step walkthrough, or see kotlin-mcp-client for a full CLI client with Anthropic API integration.
Samples
Simple Streamable HTTP Server
A minimal Streamable HTTP server with optional Bearer token authentication. Demonstrates tools
(greet, multi-greet), a prompt template, a resource, and server-to-client logging notifications.

Kotlinlang MCP Server
A Streamable HTTP server that exposes the official Kotlin documentation (kotlinlang.org) to LLM clients — full-text search via Algolia and page retrieval in markdown. Demonstrates wrapping a real external API in an MCP server with in-memory caching. Read more →
Kotlin MCP Server
A multi-transport server supporting STDIO, SSE (plain), and SSE (Ktor plugin). Useful for exploring different transport modes side by side. Read more →
Weather STDIO Server
A focused STDIO server that exposes weather forecast and alert tools backed by the weather.gov API. Includes Claude Desktop integration instructions. Read more →
Kotlin MCP Client
An interactive CLI client that connects to any MCP server over STDIO and routes queries through Anthropic's Claude API, bridging MCP tools with LLM conversations. Read more →
MCP Client Notebook
A Kotlin notebook that connects to a remote MCP server via Streamable HTTP and demonstrates ping, tool listing, and tool invocation — all in an interactive cell-by-cell format. Read more →
