Why we included this project

Apache Camel has been doing enterprise integration for a long time, and it now speaks the Model Context Protocol, so you can expose your internal databases, message brokers, and REST APIs to AI agents as MCP tools. That means an agent can actually act on real business data instead of just answering from a prompt. The route DSL in Java, YAML, or XML lets you describe those integrations declaratively, and the Spring Boot and Quarkus runtimes make it easy to drop them into services you already run. It's a mature option for the plumbing between an LLM and your operational systems, with tool filtering and per-message exclusions to control what an agent can touch.
