cache.expire-after-write=1h        # Cache TTL (Time To Live)
cache.maximum-size=1000           # Maximum number of cached entries
cache.record-stats=true           # Enable cache statistics

Cache management endpoints:

GET /cache/stats - View cache performance statistics
DELETE /cache/clear - Clear all caches
DELETE /cache/clear/{cacheName} - Clear specific cache

Docker Compose

version: '3.8'
services:
  omdb-mcp-server:
    image: ghcr.io/tyrell/omdb-mcp-server:latest
    ports:
      - "8081:8081"
    environment:
      - OMDB_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
    healthcheck:

Spring AI MCP Server Configuration

For AI clients like Claude Desktop, use the Server-Sent Events (SSE) transport:

SSE Endpoint: http://localhost:8081/sse

Claude Desktop Configuration (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "omdb": {
      "command": "java",
      "args": ["-jar", "/path/to/omdb-mcp-server.jar"],
      "env": {
        "OMDB_API_KEY": "your-actual-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Alternative: Direct SSE Connection: If using a custom MCP client that supports SSE:

const eventSource = new EventSource('http://localhost:8081/sse');
eventSource.onmessage = function(event) {
  // Handle MCP messages
  const mcpMessage = JSON.parse(event.data);
};

Transport Mode:

HTTP JSON-RPC: MCP protocol over HTTP at /mcp endpoint on port 8081

MCP Protocol Implementation

This server implements the MCP 2024-11-05 specification using Spring AI's native MCP Server support with the following capabilities:

Supported Methods

initialize: Server initialization and capability negotiation (handled by Spring AI)
ping: Connection testing and keep-alive (handled by Spring AI)
tools/list: Dynamic tool discovery via Function bean registration
tools/call: Tool execution through Spring AI Function interface
notifications/initialized: Client initialization completion (handled by Spring AI)

Spring AI Function Registration

Tools are automatically registered as Function beans and discovered by Spring AI:

@Configuration
public class McpServerConfig {
    
    @Bean
    public Function<SearchMoviesRequest, String> searchMovies(MovieSearchTools movieSearchTools) {
        return movieSearchTools::searchMovies;
    }
    
    @Bean
    public Function<GetMovieDetailsRequest, String> getMovieDetails(MovieSearchTools movieSearchTools) {
        return movieSearchTools::getMovieDetails;
    }
    
    @Bean
    public Function<GetMovieByImdbIdRequest, String> getMovieByImdbId(MovieSearchTools movieSearchTools) {
        return movieSearchTools::getMovieByImdbId;
    }
}

SSE Transport

Spring AI MCP Server uses Server-Sent Events for real-time communication:

Endpoint: GET /sse
Content-Type: text/event-stream
Connection: Persistent bidirectional communication

# JVM Tuning (for production)
JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx512m -Xms256m -XX:+UseG1GC

🧪 Testing & Validation

Health Check

curl http://localhost:8081/actuator/health

Cache Performance Testing

Check cache statistics:

curl http://localhost:8081/cache/stats

Clear cache for testing:

# Clear all caches
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8081/cache/clear

# Clear specific cache
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8081/cache/clear/movieSearch

Test cache effectiveness:

Make an initial request (cache miss):

time curl -X POST http://localhost:8081/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"1","method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"search_movies","arguments":{"title":"The Matrix"}}}'

Repeat the same request (cache hit - should be much faster):

time curl -X POST http://localhost:8081/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"2","method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"search_movies","arguments":{"title":"The Matrix"}}}'

Check cache statistics to see hit/miss ratios:
```
curl http://localhost:8081/cache/stats
```

MCP Protocol Testing

Initialize the MCP connection:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8081/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": "1",
    "method": "initialize",
    "params": {
      "protocolVersion": "2024-11-05",
      "capabilities": {},
      "clientInfo": {
        "name": "test-client",
        "version": "1.0.0"
      }
    }
  }'

List available tools:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8081/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": "2",
    "method": "tools/list"
  }'

Search for movies:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8081/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": "3",
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "search_movies",
      "arguments": {
