# 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! 🛠️ <div> <img src="./gopher.jpeg" alt="Background of Gopher in a carrot field" width="600"> </div> ## 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 ``` 2. Install dependencies: ```bash go mod tidy ``` 3. 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! 💻
