olaservo bf55c99d3f Update to go-sdk v1.7.0 and drop two committed binaries
v1.7.0 shipped on 2026-07-27, so the pin moves off v1.7.0-pre.3.

Removes mcp-client-go.exe and weather-server-go/weather.exe, which were
committed by accident in the previous commit — 14MB of build output that
should never have been in the tree. The tests branch adds the ignore rules
that keep them out.

Also from review: the server README claimed both tools set an OutputSchema.
Only get_alerts does; get_forecast relies on inference from the handler
return type, which is the idiomatic spelling and worth saying so.

A Simple MCP Weather Server written in Go

See the Build an MCP server tutorial for more information.

Building

go build -o weather

Running

./weather

The server will communicate via stdio and expose two MCP tools:

  • get_forecast - Get weather forecast for a location (requires latitude and longitude)
  • get_alerts - Get weather alerts for a US state (requires two-letter state code)

Structured output

Both tools advertise an outputSchema and return StructuredContent. get_forecast returns an object; get_alerts returns a top-level JSON array, which protocol revision 2026-07-28 is the first to allow — see Structured Content in the spec.

get_forecast sets no OutputSchema on the Tool: the SDK infers one from the handler's return type, which is the idiomatic Go spelling. get_alerts overrides it, because inference widens a slice to ["null", "array"] — a nil slice marshals to null — and the tool never returns nil.

Note that an array-rooted schema requires a 2026-07-28 client: the SDK sends it as written on every connection rather than projecting it down, so an older client rejects the tool list.
