feat(devcontainer): Adds Dev Container configuration (#154)
This fixes #151, which makes it easier for users to easily use GitHub
Codespaces, providing them with a VS Code like environment with their

# MCP Go SDK v0.2.0
[![Open in GitHub Codespaces](https://github.com/codespaces/badge.svg)](https://codespaces.new/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk)
***BREAKING CHANGES***
This version contains breaking changes.
See the [release notes](
https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/releases/tag/v0.2.0) for details.
[![PkgGoDev](https://pkg.go.dev/badge/github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk)](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk)
This repository contains an unreleased implementation of the official Go
software development kit (SDK) for the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
> [!WARNING]
> The SDK should be considered unreleased, and is currently unstable
> and subject to breaking changes. Please test it out and file bug reports or API
> proposals, but don't use it in real projects. See the issue tracker for known
> issues and missing features. We aim to release a stable version of the SDK in
> August, 2025.
## Design
The design doc for this SDK is at [design.md](./design/design.md), which was
initially reviewed at
[modelcontextprotocol/discussions/364](https://github.com/orgs/modelcontextprotocol/discussions/364).
Further design discussion should occur in
[issues](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/issues) (for concrete
proposals) or
[discussions](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/discussions) for
open-ended discussion. See [CONTRIBUTING.md](/CONTRIBUTING.md) for details.
## Package documentation
The SDK consists of three importable packages:
- The
[`github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/mcp`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/mcp)
package defines the primary APIs for constructing and using MCP clients and
servers.
- The
[`github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/jsonschema`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/jsonschema)
package provides an implementation of [JSON
Schema](https://json-schema.org/), used for MCP tool input and output schema.
- The
[`github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/jsonrpc`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/jsonrpc) package is for users implementing
their own transports.
## Example
In this example, an MCP client communicates with an MCP server running in a
sidecar process:
%include client/client.go -
Here's an example of the corresponding server component, which communicates
with its client over stdin/stdout:
%include server/server.go -
The [`examples/`](/examples/) directory contains more example clients and servers.
## Acknowledgements
Several existing Go MCP SDKs inspired the development and design of this
official SDK, notably [mcp-go](https://github.com/mark3labs/mcp-go), authored
by Ed Zynda. We are grateful to Ed as well as the other contributors to mcp-go,
and to authors and contributors of other SDKs such as
[mcp-golang](https://github.com/metoro-io/mcp-golang) and
[go-mcp](https://github.com/ThinkInAIXYZ/go-mcp). Thanks to their work, there
is a thriving ecosystem of Go MCP clients and servers.
