Research direction

Start with application.properties and locate the spring.ai.mcp.server.instructions value. Check the initialize response and any existing test that asserts the instruction string. Done means the infrastructure-boundary sentence is included and the relevant test passes.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Current state (verified)

application.properties sets spring.ai.mcp.server.instructions=This server provides tools to interact with Apache Solr using Model Context Protocol (MCP) over STDIO and/or HTTP.

Scope

Append one sentence (final wording open):

It manages Solr data and configuration only — collections, schema, documents, aliases, backups and cluster status. It does not manage cluster infrastructure (nodes, images, storage, TLS, restarts, scaling); on Kubernetes those are Solr Operator operations performed with kubectl.

Acceptance
  • Instructions visible in the initialize response; any existing test that asserts the instruction string is updated.

Part of the Kubernetes / Solr Operator integration tracking issue.
