What go-mcp-development does

This plugin equips GitHub Copilot with tools for building MCP servers in Go. It relies directly on the official github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk.

The package supplies a slash command alongside a dedicated agent. Running /go-mcp-development:go-mcp-server-generator creates a complete server repository with dependencies and boilerplate. The go-mcp-expert agent handles technical queries about protocol mechanics and idiomatic Go practices.

Because code generation focuses entirely on github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk, alternative community SDKs are out of scope. Installation happens through Copilot CLI.

What it helps with

  • scaffold a Go MCP server project using the official SDK
  • set up module dependencies and boilerplate for MCP tools
  • get guidance on Model Context Protocol design patterns in Go

Example prompts for the agent

  • /go-mcp-development:go-mcp-server-generator Create a server that exposes a system metrics tool
  • @go-mcp-expert How do I register resource handlers with the official Go SDK?
