Hello Mcp Go

Hello MCP Go 👋

Welcome to the Hello MCP Go repository! 🚀 This project demonstrates how to build an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server in Go. Whether you're a Go enthusiast or just curious about MCP, you're in the right place! 🛠️

What is this? 🤔

This repository showcases:

• How to build an MCP server using Go 🐹.
• A simple and fun way to explore MCP Protocol 🎮.
• A starting point for your own custom MCP server adventures! 🌟

Tools 🌟

• hello, takes the parameters Submitter and Content.
• calculate, takes the parameters A and B. Example use is "calculate 2 and 4".

Quick Start 🚀

• Clone
• Install
• Build
• Run

1. Clone the repository:

``bash git clone https://github.com/your-username/hello-mcp-go.git cd hello-mcp ``

1. Install dependencies:

``bash go mod tidy ``

1. Build the project:

``bash go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o server.exe main.go ` or for Linux: `bash go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o server main.go ``

You will use this later when you want to consume it from Visual Studio Code.

1. Run the server:

``bash ./server ``

Consuming the Server with GitHub Copilot Agent Mode 🍴

1. Place yourself in mcp.json, make sure the server has been built (right now it's adjusted).

1. Adjust the "command" to point to the absolute path of your executable.

``json { "servers": { "my-mcp-server-d73c20f3": { "type": "stdio", "command": "/path/to/your/executable" } } } ``

1. Open Copilot and select Agent in dropdown

1. Select the play icon.

You should see the tool icon showing two tools.

1. Test it with a phrase like so "calculate 2 and 4". This should present a button that invokes the tool on the server.

Have Fun! 🎉

This project is all about learning and having fun. Feel free to experiment, break things, and create something amazing! 🌈

Happy coding! 💻
