olaservo 1e6af8799a Link the dated spec revision, not /draft 
The surrounding sentence names 2026-07-28 as the revision that first allows
an array-rooted schema, but the link pointed at /draft, which moves on to
the next revision and stops matching the claim.

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 content

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.
