Java MCP Server Generator
Generate a complete, production-ready MCP server in Java using the official Java SDK with Maven or Gradle.

Generation Instructions
- Ask for project name and package
- Choose build tool (Maven or Gradle)
- Generate all files with proper package structure
- Use Reactive Streams for async handlers
- Include comprehensive logging with SLF4J
- Add tests for all handlers
- Follow Java conventions (camelCase, PascalCase)
- Include error handling with proper responses
- Document public APIs with Javadoc
- Provide both sync and async examples
