Mcp Servercard Go

mcp-servercard-go

Reference implementation of SEP-2127 MCP Server Cards for Go.

Go library implementing SEP-2127 MCP Server Cards. Pure-stdlib HTTP handler; no MCP SDK dependency.

A Server Card is a JSON document served at /.well-known/mcp-server-card that describes an MCP server before connection: identity, transports, protocol versions, and connection guidance. This enables pre-connect discovery without a full initialization handshake.

> Note on $schema URL: The spec references https://static.modelcontextprotocol.io/schemas/v1/server-card.schema.json. As of v0.3.0, this URL returns 404 — schema hosting is pending the SEP merge. The library emits the URL the spec mandates; treat the schema as informational until hosted.

Usage

import "github.com/olgasafonova/mcp-servercard-go/servercard"

cardHandler, err := servercard.Attach(servercard.Options{
    Name:        "io.github.olgasafonova/gleif-mcp-server",
    Version:     "1.4.0",
    Description: "Access the GLEIF LEI database for company verification.",
    Title:       "GLEIF MCP Server",
    WebsiteURL:  "https://github.com/olgasafonova/gleif-mcp-server",
    Remotes: []servercard.Remote{{
        Type: "streamable-http",
        URL:  "/mcp",
    }},
    Provider: &servercard.Provider{
        Name: "Olga Safonova",
        URL:  "https://github.com/olgasafonova",
    },
})
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

// Mount alongside your MCP handler.
mux := http.NewServeMux()
mux.Handle("/mcp", mcpHandler)
mux.Handle(servercard.WellKnownPath, cardHandler)

What it does

1. Builds a Server Card JSON document conforming to the SEP-2127 schema
2. Serves it at /.well-known/mcp-server-card with correct CORS and caching headers

What's new in v0.3.0

• Breaking: Removed RegisterResource(), ResourceURI, and the mcp://server-card.json MCP resource endpoint to align with SEP-2127 (PR #2443, March 2026): discovery is pre-connection only via .well-known.
• Breaking: Attach() no longer takes a *mcp.Server parameter — signature is now Attach(opts) (http.Handler, error).
• Breaking: Removed Capabilities, Requires, and Authentication fields per SEP-2127 scope reduction (capabilities and auth belong in initialize, not in static discovery).
• Library no longer depends on github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk. Pure stdlib.

What's new in v0.2.0

• Auth.Schemes normalization: empty or nil slices serialize consistently
• WellKnownPathFor(card) for multi-server setups: returns /.well-known/mcp-server-card/{name} so multiple servers on the same host each get a distinct discovery path

API

| Function | Purpose | |----------|---------| | Attach(opts) | One-line setup: builds card and returns HTTP handler | | Build(opts) | Builds a *ServerCard struct from options | | Handler(card) | Returns an http.Handler serving the card JSON | | WellKnownPathFor(card) | Returns /.well-known/mcp-server-card/{name} for multi-server sub-paths |
