  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 11 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 12 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.

## MCP tools (11)

### `fetch_library` (~216 tokens)

Fetch library sources

Download, extract and analyze the sources of a Maven-published Kotlin/Java library, warming the local cache. Idempotent — call this once per coordinate before using the other tools. The version may be omitted or set to 'latest' (e.g. 'io.ktor:ktor-client-core' or 'io.ktor:ktor-client-core:latest') to fetch the latest stable release — clients that support elicitation may ask the user to pick a version in that case. Returns a summary (resolved coordinate, KMP targets, file and package counts). Over stdio it also returns 'extractedDir', the local root of the extracted sources: if you have file tools of your own, reading or diffing files under it directly is much cheaper than paging them through get_source.

Input parameters:

- `coordinate` (string, required): Maven coordinate 'group:artifact:version', e.g. 'io.ktor:ktor-client-core:3.5.1'. The version may be omitted or 'latest' to resolve the latest stable release.

Output parameters:

- `coordinate`
- `extractedDir`
- `fromCache` (boolean)
- `packageCount` (integer)
- `resolvedTargets` (array)
- `sourceFileCount` (integer)

### `list_packages` (~138 tokens)

List packages

List the packages discovered in a fetched library's sources, with declaration counts and the KMP targets each package appears in. Results are paged ('truncated: true' with a 'totalCount' when the library has more than the returned page; advance 'offset' to fetch the rest).

Input parameters:

- `coordinate` (string, required): Maven coordinate 'group:artifact:version', e.g. 'io.ktor:ktor-client-core:3.5.1'
- `maxResults` (integer): Page size, 1-1000 (default 200)
- `offset` (integer): Number of packages to skip for paging (default 0)

Output parameters:

- `coordinate`
- `packages` (array)
- `totalCount` (integer)
- `truncated` (boolean)

### `list_declarations` (~190 tokens)

List declarations

List classes/interfaces/objects/functions/properties of a fetched library with signatures and visibility. Optionally filter by package and visibility (public [default], internal, or all). Results are paged ('truncated: true' with a 'totalCount' when more matched than the returned page; advance 'offset' to fetch the rest).

Input parameters:

- `coordinate` (string, required): Maven coordinate 'group:artifact:version', e.g. 'io.ktor:ktor-client-core:3.5.1'
- `maxResults` (integer): Page size, 1-500 (default 100)
- `offset` (integer): Number of matching declarations to skip for paging (default 0)
- `package` (string): Only declarations in this package, e.g. 'io.ktor.client'
- `visibility` (string): Visibility filter: 'public' (default), 'internal', or 'all'

Output parameters:

- `coordinate`
- `declarations` (array)
- `packageName`
- `totalCount` (integer)
- `truncated` (boolean)

### `get_api_signature` (~109 tokens)

Get API signature

Full resolved signature of one declaration by fully-qualified name: type parameters, parameters, return type, supertypes, modifiers. 'bestEffort: true' marks signatures recovered from raw source when type resolution was incomplete.

Input parameters:

- `coordinate` (string, required): Maven coordinate 'group:artifact:version', e.g. 'io.ktor:ktor-client-core:3.5.1'
- `fqName` (string, required): Fully-qualified declaration name, e.g. 'io.ktor.client.HttpClient'

Output parameters:

- `symbol`

### `get_kdoc` (~108 tokens)

Get KDoc

KDoc of one declaration by fully-qualified name: summary, description, and structured tags (@param, @return, @throws, @sample, …). 'kdoc: null' means the declaration is undocumented.

Input parameters:

- `coordinate` (string, required): Maven coordinate 'group:artifact:version', e.g. 'io.ktor:ktor-client-core:3.5.1'
- `fqName` (string, required): Fully-qualified declaration name, e.g. 'io.ktor.client.HttpClient'

Output parameters:

- `fqName` (string)
- `kdoc`

### `get_source` (~222 tokens)

Get source

Raw source of a whole file (by 'path', as returned by other tools, e.g. 'jvm/io/ktor/client/HttpClient.kt') or of a single declaration (by 'fqName'). Provide exactly one of the two. Results are paged ('truncated: true' with a 'totalLines' when the file or declaration is longer than the returned page; advance 'startLine' to read on).

Input parameters:

- `coordinate` (string, required): Maven coordinate 'group:artifact:version', e.g. 'io.ktor:ktor-client-core:3.5.1'
- `fqName` (string): Fully-qualified declaration name to slice out of its file
- `maxLines` (integer): Page size in lines, 1-5000 (default 500)
- `path` (string): Source file path relative to the extracted sources root
- `startLine` (integer): 1-based line to start at, absolute in the file (default: line 1, or the declaration's first line when using 'fqName')

Output parameters:

- `content` (string)
- `path` (string)
- `startLine` (integer)
- `totalLines` (integer)
- `truncated` (boolean)

### `search_source` (~142 tokens)

Search sources

Search a fetched library's sources line by line and return file:line hits with a snippet. Substring match by default; set 'regex' for Kotlin regex syntax. Results are capped ('truncated: true' when more existed).

Input parameters:

- `coordinate` (string, required): Maven coordinate 'group:artifact:version', e.g. 'io.ktor:ktor-client-core:3.5.1'
- `maxResults` (integer): Result cap, 1-200 (default 50)
- `query` (string, required): Substring (default) or regex to search for
- `regex` (boolean): Treat 'query' as a regular expression (default false)

Output parameters:

- `hits` (array)
- `query` (string)
- `truncated` (boolean)

### `diff_versions` (~303 tokens)

Diff versions

Compare the sources of two already-fetched versions of one artifact and report what changed, as unified diff hunks. Call fetch_library for BOTH versions first. Summary counts (filesAdded/filesRemoved/filesModified) describe the whole comparison; 'files' is a bounded page of it ('truncated: true' when more matched — advance 'offset'). Added and removed files report line counts but no hunks; read them with get_source. Narrow a large library with 'path' before paging through it.

Input parameters:

- `artifact` (string, required): Maven artifact id, e.g. 'ktor-client-core'
- `contextLines` (integer): Unchanged lines of context around each hunk, 0-10 (default 3)
- `fromVersion` (string, required): Baseline version, e.g. '3.4.0'
- `group` (string, required): Maven group id, e.g. 'io.ktor'
- `maxResults` (integer): Files per page, 1-50 (default 20)
- `offset` (integer): Number of changed files to skip for paging (default 0)
- `path` (string): Only files whose path contains this, e.g. 'io/ktor/client/engine'. Paths have their KMP target directory stripped, so they read like 'commonMain/io/ktor/client/HttpClient.kt'.
- `toVersion` (string, required): Version to compare against the baseline, e.g. '3.5.1'

Output parameters:

- `artifact` (string)
- `files` (array)
- `filesAdded` (integer)
- `filesModified` (integer)
- `filesRemoved` (integer)
- `fromVersion` (string)
- `group` (string)
- `toVersion` (string)
- `truncated` (boolean)

### `get_dependencies` (~177 tokens)

Get dependency tree

Dependency tree of a library parsed from its .pom/.module metadata: direct dependencies with scopes, optionally transitive to a bounded depth. Works without fetch_library (reads repository metadata, not sources). The returned tree is bounded by 'maxNodes' as well as by 'depth': when 'truncated' is true the tree was pruned breadth-first (direct dependencies kept, deepest transitives dropped) and 'totalNodes' says how large it really is.

Input parameters:

- `coordinate` (string, required): Maven coordinate 'group:artifact:version', e.g. 'io.ktor:ktor-client-core:3.5.1'
- `depth` (integer): Transitive resolution depth, 1-5 (default 1 = direct only)
- `maxNodes` (integer): Nodes to return, 1-1000 (default 200)

Output parameters:

- `root`
- `totalNodes` (integer)
- `truncated` (boolean)

### `list_versions` (~149 tokens)

List versions

List the published versions of an artifact from the repository's maven-metadata.xml. Accepts 'group:artifact' or a full 'group:artifact:version' coordinate (the version part is ignored). Works without fetch_library. Newest first and paged ('truncated: true' with a 'totalCount' when the artifact has more than the returned page; advance 'offset' for older versions).

Input parameters:

- `coordinate` (string, required): Maven coordinate 'group:artifact' or 'group:artifact:version'
- `maxResults` (integer): Page size, 1-500 (default 100)
- `offset` (integer): Number of versions to skip for paging (default 0)

Output parameters:

- `artifact` (string)
- `group` (string)
- `totalCount` (integer)
- `truncated` (boolean)
- `versions` (array)

### `get_latest_version` (~122 tokens)

Get latest version

Resolve the latest version of an artifact from the repository's maven-metadata.xml. Accepts 'group:artifact' or a full 'group:artifact:version' coordinate (the version part is ignored). Returns the latest stable release plus the newest version overall (including pre-releases) and the total version count. Works without fetch_library.

Input parameters:

- `coordinate` (string, required): Maven coordinate 'group:artifact' or 'group:artifact:version'
- `includePreReleases` (boolean): Treat the newest pre-release as 'the latest' (default false)

Output parameters:

- `artifact` (string)
- `group` (string)
- `includedPreReleases` (boolean)
- `latest`
- `latestStable`
- `totalVersions` (integer)

### What is the Kotlin & Java Library Sources MCP server?

Kotlin & Java Library Sources is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.aoreshkov/kotlin-lib-mcp. Kotlin/Java library sources, public API and KDoc from the real Maven sources jar, for AI agents. This page covers its container image (ghcr.io/aoreshkov/kotlin-lib-mcp:0.6.0).

### Is the Kotlin & Java Library Sources MCP server safe to use?

Kotlin & Java Library Sources scores 47 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Kotlin & Java Library Sources MCP server expose?

Kotlin & Java Library Sources exposes 11 tools: fetch_library, list_packages, list_declarations, get_api_signature, get_kdoc, and 6 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,876 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Kotlin & Java Library Sources MCP server still maintained?

Kotlin & Java Library Sources is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the Kotlin & Java Library Sources MCP server under?

Kotlin & Java Library Sources declares the Apache-2.0 licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
