Very cool. I created a Groovy replica of Justin's MCP server. It is based on Groovy 6. We have a pre-release version of Groovy 6 due for release tomorrow. I'll point my repo to the published alpha version of Groovy once it's out and then make the Groovy MCP repo public.
Groovy 6 has a whole bunch of AI friendly features, so my version isn't about creating a competitor, it was more of a shakedown for the features in the new Groovy release, but it might be a useful example for anyone in the JVM world wanting to do similar things. Cheers, Paul.
