Template project to build MCP server using SpringBoot
Overview
MCP Server Template is a project template designed to help developers build a server using SpringBoot for the MCP (Multi-Channel Platform).
To use the MCP Server Template, clone the repository from GitHub, configure it in your MCP client by modifying the claude_desktop_config.json file, and run the server using the provided command structure.
- Provides a structure to expose features as REST endpoints for testing outside the MCP client. - Includes an example
taskfeature that serves as a guideline for building new tools/resources, complete with unit and integration tests.
- Building custom tools for the MCP environment.
- Testing REST endpoints independently from the MCP client.
- Developing and integrating new features into the MCP server.

Use these steps to connect Template project to build MCP server using SpringBoot in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.
Cursor
Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.
.cursor/mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-server-template-gopinathmr": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-template-gopinathmr"
]
}
}
}Claude Desktop
Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-server-template-gopinathmr": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-template-gopinathmr"
]
}
}
}Claude Code
Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.
.mcp.json (project root)
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-server-template-gopinathmr": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-template-gopinathmr"
]
}
}
}VS Code (Copilot)
Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.
.vscode/mcp.json
{
"servers": {
"mcp-server-template-gopinathmr": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-template-gopinathmr"
]
}
}
}Windsurf

"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-template-gopinathmr"
]
}
}
}Cline
