Maven MCP Server

AI-powered Maven dependency management through natural language.

Maven MCP Server enables AI assistants to interact with Maven Central repository, providing comprehensive tools for version checking, security scanning, and dependency analysis—all through conversational interfaces.

Why Maven MCP Server?

Traditional Maven workflow:

mvn versions:display-dependency-updates  # Check all dependencies
# Read through XML output, manually check each update
# Manually verify security advisories
# Repeat for each project...

With Maven MCP Server:

You: "Scan this project for vulnerabilities and create an update plan"
AI: ✅ Found 3 critical CVEs, 12 outdated dependencies
    📋 Created prioritized update plan with file locations
    🎯 Ready to implement

Key Benefits:

• Natural language instead of complex Maven commands

• Single workflow combining version checks + security + planning

• AI-assisted decision making with full context

• Intelligent caching for faster repeated queries

• Enterprise-ready with audit trails and traceability

Features

Quick Start

Prerequisites:

• Python 3.12+

• uv

• trivy (optional, for security scanning)

• maven (optional, for profile-based scanning)

Setup

mcp add mvn-mcp-server -- uvx mvn-mcp-server

Or add manually to your MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mvn-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mvn-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Try It

"Check if Spring Core 5.3.0 has any updates available"

"Scan my Java project for security vulnerabilities"

Optional: Security Scanning

Install Trivy for vulnerability detection:

# macOS
brew install trivy

# Linux
# See: https://aquasecurity.github.io/trivy/latest/getting-started/installation/

Without Trivy, version checking and dependency analysis work normally. Security scanning tools will gracefully report Trivy unavailable.

Security Note: All processing happens locally. No source code or project data is sent to external services (except public Maven Central API queries for version information).
