Jonathan Amsterdam 1323fb5216 internal/mcp: dispatcher middleware
Implement the dispatcher middleware framework, allowing users to
wrap method dispatching with their own code.

The Dispatcher functions have an untyped params arg, but expect its
value to be a typed, unmarshaled XXXParams struct. That required
splitting the elegant dispatch[P, R] function into two parts, one
to do the unmarshaling and one to call the method. The nicest way
I could find to do that was to map from method names to a pair
of functions, one to unmarshal and one to call. We could also write
it as two switches on method name, which would require less machinery
but would duplicate the list of method names, already a tad fragile
because they are literal strings.

I also exported the initialize params and result, so user Dispatchers
could access them. All Params and Result types will have to be exported
for that reason.

MCP SDK prototype

PkgGoDev

The mcp package provides a software development kit (SDK) for writing clients and servers of the model context protocol. It is unstable, and will change in breaking ways in the future. As of writing, it is a prototype to explore the design space of client/server transport and binding.

Installation

The mcp package is currently internal and cannot be imported using go get.

Quickstart

Here's an example that creates a client that talks to an MCP server running as a sidecar process:

package main

import (
	"context"
	"log"
	"os/exec"

	"github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/mcp"
)

func main() {
	ctx := context.Background()
	// Create a new client, with no features.
	client := mcp.NewClient("mcp-client", "v1.0.0", nil)
	// Connect to a server over stdin/stdout
	transport := mcp.NewCommandTransport(exec.Command("myserver"))
	session, err := client.Connect(ctx, transport)
    if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
    defer session.Close()
	// Call a tool on the server.
	if content, err := session.CallTool(ctx, "greet", map[string]any{"name": "you"}, nil); err != nil {
		log.Printf("CallTool failed: %v", err)
	} else {
		log.Printf("CallTool returns: %v", content)
	}
}

Here is an example of the corresponding server, connected over stdin/stdout:

package main

import (
	"context"

	"github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/mcp"
)

type HiParams struct {
	Name string `json:"name"`
}

func SayHi(ctx context.Context, cc *mcp.ServerSession, params *HiParams) ([]*mcp.Content, error) {
	return []*mcp.Content{
		mcp.NewTextContent("Hi " + params.Name),
	}, nil
}

func main() {
	// Create a server with a single tool.
	server := mcp.NewServer("greeter", "v1.0.0", nil)
	server.AddTools(mcp.NewTool("greet", "say hi", SayHi))
	// Run the server over stdin/stdout, until the client diconnects
	_ = server.Run(context.Background(), mcp.NewStdIOTransport())
}

Design

See design.md for the SDK design. That document is canonical: given any divergence between the design doc and this prototype, the doc reflects the latest design.

Testing

To test your client or server using stdio transport, you can use an in-memory transport. See example.

To test your client or server using sse transport, you can use the httptest package. See example.
