Jakarta Migration MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI coding assistants with specialized tools for analyzing and migrating Java applications from Java EE 8 (javax.*) to Jakarta EE 9+ (jakarta.*).

Apify Store MCP Protocol

🚀 Quick Start

Option 1: Use Apify Hosted Server (Recommended)

The easiest way to get started is using our hosted MCP server on Apify - no installation required!

Free Tier Available: Basic features are free. Get started →

MCP Server URL: https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=actors,docs,adrian_m/JakartaMigrationMCP

Configuration Options:

Option A: Streamable HTTP (Recommended) - Simpler, more reliable:

{ "mcpServers": { "jakarta-migration": { "type": "streamable-http", "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=actors,docs,adrian_m/JakartaMigrationMCP" } } }

Option B: SSE (Legacy) - For clients that don't support Streamable HTTP yet:

{ "mcpServers": { "jakarta-migration": { "type": "sse", "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=actors,docs,adrian_m/JakartaMigrationMCP" } } }

💡 Why Streamable HTTP? Streamable HTTP is simpler, more reliable, and recommended by the MCP spec. SSE is deprecated but still supported for backward compatibility.

🔑 Authentication: You'll need an Apify API token. Get it from Apify Console → Integrations. Some MCP clients may prompt you to authenticate via OAuth.

See Apify Setup below for detailed instructions.

Option 2: Run Locally (STDIO)

For local development or when you need full control:

Prerequisites: Java 21+ and Node.js 18+

# Install via npm (one-time) npm install -g @jakarta-migration/mcp-server # Or use with npx (no installation) npx -y @jakarta-migration/mcp-server

See Local Setup below for client configuration.

📋 What It Does

The Jakarta Migration MCP Server enables your AI coding assistant to:

  • 🔍 Analyze Jakarta Readiness - Assess Java projects for migration readiness with detailed dependency analysis

  • 🚫 Detect Blockers - Identify dependencies and code patterns that prevent Jakarta migration

  • 📦 Recommend Versions - Suggest Jakarta-compatible versions for existing dependencies

  • 📋 Create Migration Plans - Generate comprehensive, phased migration plans with risk assessment

  • 📊 Analyze Migration Impact - Comprehensive impact analysis combining dependency analysis and source code scanning

  • ✅ Verify Runtime - Test migrated applications to ensure they run correctly after migration

The Problem It Solves

Migrating from Java EE 8 (javax.*) to Jakarta EE 9+ (jakarta.*) is complex because:

  • Dependency Hell: Many libraries haven't migrated, creating transitive conflicts

  • Binary Incompatibility: Compiled JARs may reference javax.* internally

  • Hidden Dependencies: javax.* usage in XML configs, annotations, and dynamic loading

  • Risk Assessment: Need to understand migration impact before starting

This MCP server provides AI assistants with the specialized knowledge and tools to navigate these challenges effectively.

🔒 Security & Privacy

Your code and project data are handled with the utmost care. We understand that Java developers working with enterprise codebases need complete confidence in the security and privacy of their intellectual property.

Stateless Architecture

✅ No Data Persistence - The service is completely stateless. Your project files, source code, and analysis results are never stored, logged, or persisted on our servers.

✅ No Data Collection - We don't collect, track, or analyze your code. Each request is processed independently with no memory of previous requests.

✅ Local Execution Option - For maximum privacy, you can run the entire service locally using the Local Setup option. Your code never leaves your machine.

Privacy Guarantees

  • Zero Code Storage: Project files are only read during analysis and immediately discarded

  • No Telemetry: No usage tracking, analytics, or code scanning for any purpose other than migration analysis

  • Open Source: The core service is open source, so you can audit exactly what it does

  • Enterprise Ready: Safe for use with proprietary and sensitive codebases

Hosted Service (Apify)

When using the Apify-hosted service:

  • Analysis is performed in isolated, ephemeral containers

  • All containers are destroyed immediately after processing

  • No persistent storage is used

  • Your API token is only used for authentication and billing

Local Service

When running locally via STDIO:

  • 100% Local - Everything runs on your machine

  • No Network Calls - No external requests are made

  • Complete Control - You have full visibility and control over the process

For maximum security and privacy, we recommend using the local STDIO setup for sensitive projects.
