Maven Version Server

MCP server for Maven dependency version management using ONLY maven-metadata.xml from Maven Central (NO Solr search API).

Features

  • 4 Tools for Maven dependency management

  • Strict stability filtering - excludes SNAPSHOT, alpha, beta, RC, milestones, etc.

  • Pure metadata approach - uses only maven-metadata.xml

  • Fast and reliable - direct XML parsing, no search API dependencies

Tools

1. get_latest_stable_version

Get the latest stable version for a Maven dependency.

Input:

{ "dependency": "io.mockk:mockk" }

Output: Plain text version string (e.g., 1.14.7)

2. get_all_versions

List all versions with optional filtering and limits.

Input:

{ "dependency": "com.google.guava:guava", "stableOnly": true, "limit": 10 }

Output: Newline-separated version list

3. check_version_exists

Verify if a specific version exists and check its stability.

Input:

{ "dependency": "org.springframework:spring-core", "version": "6.2.8" }

Output: JSON object with exists, isStable fields

4. compare_versions

Compare two versions and get upgrade recommendations.

Input:

{ "dependency": "org.springframework:spring-core", "currentVersion": "5.3.20", "targetVersion": "6.2.8" }

Output: JSON object with upgrade type and recommendation

Stability Filter

Excludes versions containing (case-insensitive):

  • SNAPSHOT - Development snapshots

  • alpha / a - Alpha releases

  • beta / b - Beta releases

  • RC - Release candidates

  • M + digit - Milestones

  • CR - Candidate releases

  • EA - Early access

  • preview - Preview releases

  • dev - Development versions

  • incubating - Apache incubator

Configure for Claude Code CLI

Add to ~/.claude/mcp_servers.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "maven-version": { "command": "npx", "args": ["maven-version-server"] } } }

Or if installed globally:

{ "mcpServers": { "maven-version": { "command": "maven-version-server" } } }

Build from source

Usage Examples

Example 1: Get latest stable version

User: What's the latest stable version of MockK? Claude: [Uses get_latest_stable_version with dependency="io.mockk:mockk"] Result: 1.14.7

Example 2: Compare versions

User: Should I upgrade Spring Core from 5.3.20 to 6.2.8? Claude: [Uses compare_versions] Result: { "currentVersion": "5.3.20", "targetVersion": "6.2.8", "upgradeType": "major", "recommendation": "Caution: Major version upgrade may contain breaking changes. Review migration guide.", "isCurrentStable": true, "isTargetStable": true }

Example 3: List recent versions

User: Show me the last 5 versions of Guava Claude: [Uses get_all_versions with limit=5] Result: 33.5.0-jre 33.4.0-jre 33.3.1-jre 33.3.0-jre 33.2.1-jre
