Maven MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server designed to manage Maven dependencies, offering tools to check, retrieve, and list Maven versions.
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 my-service 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AI: ✅ Found 3 critical CVEs, 12 outdated dependencies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
| Category | Capabilities |
|---|---|
| Version Management | Check single or batch dependency versions • Discover available updates (major/minor/patch) • List version history grouped by tracks |
| Security Scanning | Integrate Trivy vulnerability scanning • CVE detection with severity filtering • Multi-module project support |
| Enterprise Workflows | Guided dependency triage analysis • Actionable remediation planning • Complete audit trail with CVE traceability |
| AI-Optimized | Single-call comprehensive responses • Batch operations for efficiency • Intelligent caching |
Quick Start
Installation
# Install from PyPI
pip install mvn-mcp-server
# Or using uv (recommended)
uv pip install mvn-mcp-server
Configuration
Add to your MCP settings (.mcp.json or Claude Desktop config):
{
"mcpServers": {
"mvn-mcp-server": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mvn-mcp-server"]
}
}
}
First Query
Try asking your AI assistant:
"Check if Spring Core 5.3.0 has any updates available"
Or:
"Scan my Java project for security vulnerabilities"
Requirements
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).
