# Kotlin MCP Server Project Generator

Generate a complete, production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) server project in Kotlin.

## Project Requirements

You will create a Kotlin MCP server with:

1. **Project Structure**: Gradle-based Kotlin project layout
2. **Dependencies**: Official MCP SDK, Ktor, and kotlinx libraries
3. **Server Setup**: Configured MCP server with transports
4. **Tools**: At least 2-3 useful tools with typed inputs/outputs
5. **Error Handling**: Proper exception handling and validation
6. **Documentation**: README with setup and usage instructions
7. **Testing**: Basic test structure with coroutines

## README.md Template

```markdown
# {{PROJECT_NAME}}

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built with Kotlin.

## Description

{{PROJECT_DESCRIPTION}}

## Requirements

- Java 17 or higher

## Installation

Build the project:

\`\`\`bash
./gradlew build
\`\`\`

Run the server with stdio transport:

\`\`\`bash
./gradlew run
\`\`\`

Or build and run the jar:

\`\`\`bash
./gradlew installDist
./build/install/{{PROJECT_NAME}}/bin/{{PROJECT_NAME}}
\`\`\`

## Configuration

Configure via environment variables:

- `SERVER_NAME`: Server name (default: "{{PROJECT_NAME}}")
- `VERSION`: Server version (default: "1.0.0")
- `DESCRIPTION`: Server description

## Available Tools

### tool1
{{TOOL1_DESCRIPTION}}

**Input:**
- `param1` (string, required): First parameter
- `param2` (integer, optional): Second parameter

**Output:**
- Text result of the operation

## Development

Run tests:

\`\`\`bash
./gradlew test
\`\`\`

Build:

\`\`\`bash
./gradlew build
\`\`\`

Run with auto-reload (development):

\`\`\`bash

## Generation Instructions

When generating a Kotlin MCP server:

1. **Gradle Setup**: Create proper `build.gradle.kts` with all dependencies
2. **Package Structure**: Follow Kotlin package conventions
3. **Type Safety**: Use data classes and kotlinx.serialization
4. **Coroutines**: All operations should be suspending functions
5. **Error Handling**: Use Kotlin exceptions and validation
6. **JSON Schemas**: Use `buildJsonObject` for tool schemas
7. **Testing**: Include coroutine test utilities
8. **Logging**: Use kotlin-logging for structured logging
9. **Configuration**: Use data classes and environment variables
10. **Documentation**: KDoc comments for public APIs

## Best Practices

- Use suspending functions for all async operations
- Leverage Kotlin's null safety and type system
- Use data classes for structured data
- Apply kotlinx.serialization for JSON handling
- Use sealed classes for result types
- Implement proper error handling with Result/Either patterns
- Write tests using kotlinx-coroutines-test
- Use dependency injection for testability
- Follow Kotlin coding conventions
- Use meaningful names and KDoc comments

## Transport Options

### Stdio Transport
```kotlin
val transport = StdioServerTransport()
server.connect(transport)
```

### SSE Transport (Ktor)
```kotlin
embeddedServer(Netty, port = 8080) {
    mcp {
        Server(/*...*/) { "Description" }
    }
}.start(wait = true)
```

## Multiplatform Configuration

For multiplatform projects, add to `build.gradle.kts`:

```kotlin
kotlin {
    jvm()
    js(IR) { nodejs() }
    wasmJs()
    
    sourceSets {
        commonMain.dependencies {
            implementation("io.modelcontextprotocol:kotlin-sdk:0.7.2")
        }
    }
}
```
