Jonathan Amsterdam 715e9f1935 internal/mcp: construct README with weave
Use the weave program from golang.org/x/example to weave together
the README text with buildable programs. This ensures the code in the
README compiles.

MCP SDK prototype

PkgGoDev

Contents

%toc

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:

%include client/client.go -

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

%include server/server.go -

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.
