Hey Max,

thanks for the nice writeup. Enjoyed reading about MCP.

I failed to run the server using your instructions, step by step:

java -jar target/weather-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-runner.jar.

The only artifact that was built was target/weather-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar which is not runnable (no main manifest attribute, in target/weather-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar). Ran it using ./mvnw compile quarkus:dev instead.

On the other hand, using the native profile ./mvnw install -Pnative created a executable binary weather-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-runner that I could run.

What did I miss?

I had the same issue, I have replaced quarkus.package.uber-jar=true by quarkus.package.jar.type=uber-jar and it seems ok 🤞

Hey Max,

When I start my client service with mvn quarkus:dev it gives an error saying that it cannot find the jbang command to run the weather mcp

What is the weather forecast and any alerts for New York?

How a question like this be answered? Do i need to write another api for mixing the commands or will mcp server understand it?
