Discussion Topic

I am wondering why Reactor/Netty has been chosen to implement the Java SDK.

In most Java / Spring projects, we still see servlet-based implementations, as reactive programming is pretty complex compared with request/thread-based architecture, and with Virtual Threads, the performance benefits of Reactor almost vanished.

Ah, just found https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/java-sdk/tree/main/mcp-spring/mcp-spring-webmvc

I was to distracted by the number of dependencies.
