Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked Quarkus Tool.java annotation example and the java-sdk repository's module layout. Determine the standard annotation set for MCP Server primitives and define the new mcp-annotations module; done means the module is published with the agreed annotations for downstream frameworks to use.

Description

enhancement

Would you be open to publish a new module mcp-annotations with just a "standard" set of annotations for MCP Server Primitives (@Tool, @ToolArg, @Prompt, ...)?.

Those annotations could be used by frameworks downstream. That way we would avoid having to duplicate these annotations in the different frameworks.

E.g. Quarkus @Tool annotation:
