--------------------------------------
Summary: Publish the Camel JBang MCP server as a Claude Code plugin
Key: CAMEL-23639
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-23639
Project: Camel
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Zineb Bendhiba
The https://camel.apache.org/manual/camel-jbang-mcp.html[Camel JBang MCP
server] [Camel JBang MCP
server|https://camel.apache.org/manual/camel-jbang-mcp.html] currently requires
users to manually edit their project's .mcp.json to add the JBang invocation.
Claude Code 1.x added a[plugin
system|[https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugins.md]] where MCP servers can be
packaged and installed from a marketplace. We could use this.
Once the plugin is published, setup becomes two one-time commands:
{code:java}
$ claude plugin marketplace add apache/camel # (or whatever repo hosts the
marketplace)
$ claude plugin install camel-mcp@camel-marketplace
{code}
No more manual .mcp.json editing per project.
What needs to be added to apache/camel:
* A .claude-plugin/marketplace.json at the repo root:
{code:java}
{
"name": "camel-marketplace",
"owner": { "name": "Apache Camel" },
"description": "Apache Camel plugins for Claude Code",
"plugins": [
{
"name": "camel-mcp",
"description": "Camel JBang MCP server: catalog lookups, route
validation, error diagnosis",
"source": { "source": "github", "repo": "apache/camel", "path":
"plugins/camel-mcp" }
}
]
}{code}
* A plugins/camel-mcp/.claude-plugin/plugin.json with plugin metadata, and a
plugins/camel-mcp/.mcp.json with the server config:
{code:java}
{
"mcpServers": {
"camel": {
"command": "jbang",
"args": ["-Dquarkus.log.level=WARN",
"org.apache.camel:camel-jbang-mcp:LATEST:runner"]
}
}
}{code}
Note: Users still need JBang installed. The installation page should say so
clearly.
