MCP Go SDK
This repository contains an implementation of the official Go software development kit (SDK) for the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Package / Feature documentation
The SDK consists of several importable packages:
- The
github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/mcppackage defines the primary APIs for constructing and using MCP clients and servers. - The
github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/jsonrpcpackage is for users implementing their own transports. - The
github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/authpackage provides some primitives for supporting OAuth. - The
github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/oauthexpackage provides extensions to the OAuth protocol, such as ProtectedResourceMetadata.
The SDK endeavors to implement the full MCP spec. The docs/ directory
contains feature documentation, mapping the MCP spec to the packages above.
Version Compatibility
The following table shows which versions of the Go SDK support which versions of the MCP specification:
| SDK Version | Latest MCP Spec | All Supported MCP Specs |
|---|---|---|
| v1.4.0+ | 2025-11-25* | 2025-11-25*, 2025-06-18, 2025-03-26, 2024-11-05 |
| v1.2.0 - v1.3.1 | 2025-11-25** | 2025-11-25**, 2025-06-18, 2025-03-26, 2024-11-05 |
| v1.0.0 - v1.1.0 | 2025-06-18 | 2025-06-18, 2025-03-26, 2024-11-05 |
* Client side OAuth has experimental support.
** Partial support for 2025-11-25 (client side OAuth and Sampling with tools not available).
New releases of the SDK target only supported versions of Go. See https://go.dev/doc/devel/release#policy for more information.
Getting started
To get started creating an MCP server, create an mcp.Server instance, add
features to it, and then run it over an mcp.Transport. For example, this
server adds a single simple tool, and then connects it to clients over
stdin/stdout:
%include server/server.go -
To communicate with that server, create an mcp.Client and connect it to the
corresponding server, by running the server command and communicating over its
stdin/stdout:
%include client/client.go -
The examples/ directory contains more example clients and
servers.
Contributing
We welcome contributions to the SDK! Please see CONTRIBUTING.md for details of how to contribute.
Acknowledgements / Alternatives
Several third party Go MCP SDKs inspired the development and design of this official SDK, and continue to be viable alternatives, notably mcp-go, originally 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 and go-mcp. Thanks to their work, there is a thriving ecosystem of Go MCP clients and servers.
