SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Building MCP services in Go often requires stitching together protocol transports, tool definitions, resources, and authentication manually. The official Go SDK provides a cohesive, battle-tested foundation to create MCP servers and clients, reducing boilerplate and security risks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Go MCP server/client scaffolding using the official SDK (github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk) to register tools, resources, prompts, and transports.
  • Built-in middleware patterns, authentication hooks, and transport integrations that simplify secure deployments.
  • Real-world scenario: rapidly spin up a multi-tenant MCP service with per-request servers and per-session transports, then iterate on tools and prompts.

Quick Start

Install the official Go MCP SDK and start a server with mcp.NewServer and a basic tool.
