***BREAKING CHANGES***
|
|
|
|
This version contains breaking changes.
|
|
See the [release notes](
|
|
https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/releases/tag/v0.5.0) for details.

|
|
|
|
This repository contains an unreleased implementation of the official Go
|
|
software development kit (SDK) for the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
|
|
|
|
> [!WARNING]
|
|
> The SDK is not yet at v1.0.0 and may still be subject to incompatible API
|
|
> changes. We aim to tag v1.0.0 in September, 2025. See
|
|
> https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/issues/328 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/jsonrpc`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/jsonrpc) package is for users implementing
|
|
their own transports.
|
|
- The
|
|
[`github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/auth`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/auth)
|
|
package provides some primitives for supporting oauth.
|
|
|
|
## 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, we can similarly 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/`](/examples/) directory contains more example clients and
|
|
servers.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
