Protoc Gen Kotlin Mcp

What is Protoc Gen Kotlin Mcp

protoc-gen-kotlin-mcp is a protoc plugin designed to generate Model-Context-Protocol (MCP) servers in Kotlin from protocol buffer specifications. It enables AI models to utilize existing gRPC codebases with natural language, facilitating rapid prototyping and integration of LLM capabilities.

Use cases

Use cases for protoc-gen-kotlin-mcp include developing AI-driven applications, creating prototypes for LLM capabilities, and enhancing existing gRPC services with natural language interfaces.

How to use

To use protoc-gen-kotlin-mcp, ensure you have protoc version 3.20 or later installed. Then, follow the instructions to run the plugin and set up your MCP servers, including adding the example ‘mcp-vibe’ server to your configuration.

Key features

Key features of protoc-gen-kotlin-mcp include seamless integration with existing gRPC applications, rapid code generation from protocol buffer definitions, and support for natural language interactions with AI models.

Where to use

protoc-gen-kotlin-mcp can be used in fields such as AI development, software engineering, and any domain requiring efficient communication between AI models and gRPC-based services.

protoc-gen-kotlin-mcp

This is a Topeka plugin for the protoc compiler that generates a model-context-protocol(MCP) server based on a protocol buffer definition. Conceptually, this allows an AI model to use existing gRPC codebases with natural language, allowing for rapid prototyping and usage of LLM capabilities for protobuf based codebases.

Prerequisites

• protoc 3.20 or later

Testing the example

Install the example mcp-vibe server
[TODO: add instructions to run the project specific example server]
Add the mcp-vibe server to your mcp servers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vibe": {
      "command": "mcp-vibe"
    }
  }
}

and run a client with above mcp server attached (eg. claude desktop)

Topeka

Topeka is an open source project that provides code-generators for Model-Context-Protocol (MCP).
It is designed to facilitate the usage of MCP seamlessly against existing gRPC based applications. This is done via
leveraging code generation using the protoc compiler and installing the relevant Topeka plugin.

The plugins follow Semantic Versioning and any plugin prior to 1.0.0 releases ARE still subject to breaking changes. Please note, this is
applied to the generated servers, not the plugins themselves, which do not provide public APIs. This project reserves the right to change how code generation is achieved,
while maintaining stable MCP server APIs.
