# Model Context Protocol (MCP) example  This is a simple project that demonstrates how to create an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server in Golang and use it within VS Code Copilot. It was built as part of a blog post explaining the basics of MCP and how it can be used to connect tools and data sources with AI-powered environments. 📖 Read the blog post: [Model Context Protocol(MCP)](https://rickkoch.github.io/posts/model-context-protocol). ## 🚀 What It Does * Implements a basic MCP server in Go. * Exposes one or more tools that can be used by AI systems supporting MCP. * Demonstrates integration with VS Code Copilot via MCP. ## 🛠 Technologies Used * Go (Golang) * MCP Protocol (Open Standard) * VS Code Copilot (with MCP support) ## 📦 How to Use ### 1. Clone the repository: ```bash git clone https://github.com/rickKoch/go-mcp.git cd go-mcp ``` ### 2. Build the docker image: ```bash ./build.sh ``` ### 3. Copy the following configuration at the bottom of the VS Code user settings file(`settings.json`): ```json "mcp": { "servers": { "simplemcp": { "command": "docker", "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "simplemcp"] }, } } ``` ### 4. Once the server is running you should toggle the Agent and try it out
