Maven Tools

Use this skill to ground JVM dependency decisions in live Maven Central data.

This is an execution skill. Use Maven Tools MCP first for dependency facts, then do the reasoning in-model. Assume Maven Tools MCP is already configured; only discuss setup if the tools are unavailable.

When to Use

Activate when the user asks about:

• Java, Kotlin, Scala, or JVM dependencies
• Maven, Gradle, pom.xml, build.gradle, or build.gradle.kts
• latest versions, upgrades, CVEs, licenses, dependency age, or release history
• whether a dependency is safe, current, stale, or worth upgrading

Core Boundary

Use Maven Tools MCP for version, security, license, freshness, and release-pattern facts from Maven Central.
