## What it 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.

## Requirements
- Works with: GitHub

## Install

### GitHub Copilot (native platform)

**Command from the source**
```bash
copilot plugin install go-mcp-development@awesome-copilot
```

## When to use it
- 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
- /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?
