Descartes Java REPL and Deep Introspection For Your Java Apps

Created By

Wido Riezebos4 months ago

A Java-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides deep introspection, monitoring, debugging, and REPL capabilities for Java applications. Descartes enables AI assistants to interact with running Java processes through a comprehensive set of tools and resources. Kind of does for the Java backend what Playwright does for the frontend. Easy to add as a maven dependency to your Java application.

Overview

Descartes MCP

⚠️ SECURITY WARNING: This tool includes a Java REPL that allows arbitrary code execution. It should ONLY be used in development/debugging environments and NEVER exposed to untrusted networks or users.

Features

🛠️ Tools

JShell REPL: Interactive Java code execution with session management
Object Inspector: Deep object introspection without code execution
Process Inspector: Process and thread information monitoring
System Monitoring: Real-time system metrics and resource usage
Thread Analyzer: Thread state analysis and deadlock detection
Memory Analyzer: Heap usage, garbage collection, and memory pool analysis
Exception Analysis: Stack trace analysis and root cause identification
Logging Integration: Log4j2 integration for log capture and analysis

📊 Resources

Classpath Resource: Access to classpath information
System Properties: JVM and system property access
Metrics Resource: Application and JVM metrics
Thread Dumps: Detailed thread state snapshots
MBean Resource: JMX MBean access and monitoring
Application Context: Access to registered application objects

Session Management

The JShell integration provides sophisticated session management:

Isolated Execution Contexts: Each AI conversation gets its own JShell instance with separate variable namespaces, preventing cross-contamination between sessions.
Configurable Timeouts: Sessions automatically expire after inactivity (default: 30 minutes) to prevent memory leaks.
State Preservation: Variables and imports persist across multiple evaluations within the same session, enabling complex multi-step interactions.
Context Injection: Application objects from the context map can be automatically exposed to JShell sessions, allowing direct manipulation of live application state.
Concurrent Session Support: Multiple sessions can run simultaneously without interference.

Zhipu Web SearchZhipu Web Search MCP Server is a search engine specifically designed for large models. It integrates four search engines, allowing users to flexibly compare and switch between them. Building upon the web crawling and ranking capabilities of traditional search engines, it enhances intent recognition capabilities, returning results more suitable for large model processing (such as webpage titles, URLs, summaries, site names, site icons, etc.). This helps AI applications achieve "dynamic knowledge acquisition" and "precise scenario adaptation" capabilities.
