kotlin-mcp-server-generator
Allows your agent to create a complete Kotlin server project using the official SDK. It facilitates initial setup and project structure.
What it does
This agent creates a complete Kotlin server project for using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It sets up the project structure, adds necessary libraries, and prepares the server to run.
When to use it
- ✓When you want to create a new MCP server in Kotlin.
- ✓When you need a base project with all the structure ready.
- ✓To quickly start developing an MCP server.

FAQ
What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?
It's a protocol for communication between different parts of a system, allowing them to exchange information and call each other's functionalities in a standardized way.
What are Ktor and Kotlinx?
Ktor is a framework for building web applications and services in Kotlin. Kotlinx are additional libraries for Kotlin, such as those for serialization (to convert data to and from text) and coroutines (for handling asynchronous tasks).
What are 'tools' in this context?
These are specific functions that your MCP server can offer to be called by other systems. This generator already includes a template for you to add your own tools.
