Installation

This guide will walk you through how to add the gomcp library to your Go project.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

• Go: You need a recent version of Go installed on your system. Go version 1.18 or later is recommended as it includes support for generics, which are used in some parts of the gomcp library. You can download and install Go from the official Go website: https://golang.org/dl/
• A Go Project: You should have an existing Go project or create a new one. If you’re creating a new project, initialize a Go module:

  go mod init your_module_name

Installing GoMCP

To add the gomcp library to your Go project, open your terminal or command prompt, navigate to your project’s root directory, and run the following command:

go get github.com/localrivet/gomcp

This command will download the gomcp library and its dependencies and add them to your project’s go.mod file.

Importing the Library

Once installed, you can import the necessary packages in your Go code to start building MCP servers or clients:

import (
	"github.com/localrivet/gomcp/client"   // For building MCP clients
	"github.com/localrivet/gomcp/server"   // For building MCP servers
	"github.com/localrivet/gomcp/protocol" // For MCP message types and structures
	// You may also need to import specific transport packages, e.g.:
	// "github.com/localrivet/gomcp/transport/stdio"
	// "github.com/localrivet/gomcp/transport/sse"
	// "github.com/localrivet/gomcp/transport/websocket"
)
