package mcp

import "golang.org/x/tools/internal/mcp"

The mcp package provides an SDK for writing model context protocol clients and servers.

To get started, create either a Client or Server, and connect it to a peer using a Transport. The diagram below illustrates how this works: 

Client                                                   Server
 ⇅                          (jsonrpc2)                     ⇅
ClientSession ⇄ Client Transport ⇄ Server Transport ⇄ ServerSession

A Client is an MCP client, which can be configured with various client capabilities. Clients may be connected to a Server instance using the Client.Connect method.

Similarly, a Server is an MCP server, which can be configured with various server capabilities. Servers may be connected to one or more Client instances using the Server.Connect method, which creates a ServerSession.

A Transport connects a bidirectional Stream of jsonrpc2 messages. In practice, transports in the MCP spec are are either client transports or server transports. For example, the StdIOTransport is a server transport that communicates over stdin/stdout, and its counterpart is a CommandTransport that communicates with a subprocess over its stdin/stdout.

Some transports may hide more complicated details, such as an SSEClientTransport, which reads messages via server-sent events on a hanging GET request, and writes them to a POST endpoint. Users of this SDK may define their own custom Transports by implementing the Transport interface.

Example (ProgressMiddleware)

This middleware function adds a progress token to every outgoing request from the client.

Code:play  

package main

import (
	"context"
	"sync/atomic"

	"golang.org/x/tools/internal/mcp"
)

var nextProgressToken atomic.Int64

// This middleware function adds a progress token to every outgoing request
// from the client.
func main() {
	c := mcp.NewClient("test", "v1", nil)
	c.AddSendingMiddleware(addProgressToken[*mcp.ClientSession])
	_ = c
}

func addProgressToken[S mcp.Session](h mcp.MethodHandler[S]) mcp.MethodHandler[S] {
	return func(ctx context.Context, s S, method string, params mcp.Params) (result mcp.Result, err error) {
		params.GetMeta().ProgressToken = nextProgressToken.Add(1)
		return h(ctx, s, method, params)
	}
}

	// Describes who the intended customer of this object or data is.
	//
	// It can include multiple entries to indicate content useful for multiple
	// audiences (e.g., `["user", "assistant"]`).
	Audience []Role `json:"audience,omitempty"`
	// Describes how important this data is for operating the server.
	//
	// A value of 1 means "most important," and indicates that the data is
	// effectively required, while 0 means "least important," and indicates that the
	// data is entirely optional.
	Priority float64 `json:"priority,omitempty"`
}

Optional annotations for the client. The client can use annotations to inform how objects are used or displayed

type CallToolParams 

type CallToolParams[TArgs any] struct {
	// This property is reserved by the protocol to allow clients and servers to
	// attach additional metadata to their responses.
	Meta      Meta   `json:"_meta,omitempty"`

	//
	// If not set, this is assumed to be false (the call was successful).
	IsError bool `json:"isError,omitempty"`
}

The server's response to a tool call.

Any errors that originate from the tool SHOULD be reported inside the result object, with `isError` set to true, _not_ as an MCP protocol-level error response. Otherwise, the LLM would not be able to see that an error occurred and self-correct.

However, any errors in _finding_ the tool, an error indicating that the server does not support tool calls, or any other exceptional conditions, should be reported as an MCP error response.

func CallTool 

func CallTool[TArgs any](ctx context.Context, cs *ClientSession, params *CallToolParams[TArgs]) (*CallToolResult, error)

CallTool is a helper to call a tool with any argument type. It returns an error if params.Arguments fails to marshal to JSON.

Middleware is a function from MethodHandlers to MethodHandlers.

type ModelHint 

type ModelHint struct {
	// A hint for a model name.
	//
	// The client SHOULD treat this as a substring of a model name; for example: -
	// `claude-3-5-sonnet` should match `claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022` - `sonnet`
	// should match `claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022`, `claude-3-sonnet-20240229`, etc. -
	// `claude` should match any Claude model
	//
	// The client MAY also map the string to a different provider's model name or a
	// different model family, as long as it fills a similar niche; for example: -
	// `gemini-1.5-flash` could match `claude-3-haiku-20240307`
	Name string `json:"name,omitempty"`
}

Hints to use for model selection.

Keys not declared here are currently left unspecified by the spec and are up to the client to interpret.

type ModelPreferences 

type ModelPreferences struct {
	// How much to prioritize cost when selecting a model. A value of 0 means cost
	// is not important, while a value of 1 means cost is the most important factor.
	CostPriority float64 `json:"costPriority,omitempty"`
	// Optional hints to use for model selection.
	//
	// If multiple hints are specified, the client MUST evaluate them in order (such
	// that the first match is taken).
	//

	// the most important factor.
	SpeedPriority float64 `json:"speedPriority,omitempty"`
}

The server's preferences for model selection, requested of the client during sampling.

Because LLMs can vary along multiple dimensions, choosing the "best" model is rarely straightforward. Different models excel in different areas—some are faster but less capable, others are more capable but more expensive, and so on. This interface allows servers to express their priorities across multiple dimensions to help clients make an appropriate selection for their use case.

These preferences are always advisory. The client MAY ignore them. It is also up to the client to decide how to interpret these preferences and how to balance them against other considerations.

func NewSSEHandler 

func NewSSEHandler(getServer func(request *http.Request) *Server) *SSEHandler

NewSSEHandler returns a new SSEHandler that creates and manages MCP sessions created via incoming HTTP requests.

Sessions are created when the client issues a GET request to the server, which must accept text/event-stream responses (server-sent events). For each such request, a new SSEServerTransport is created with a distinct messages endpoint, and connected to the server returned by getServer. It is up to the user whether getServer returns a distinct Server for each new request, or reuses an existing server.

The SSEHandler also handles requests to the message endpoints, by delegating them to the relevant server transport.

func (*SSEHandler) ServeHTTP 

func (h *SSEHandler) ServeHTTP(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request)

type SSEServerTransport 

type SSEServerTransport struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A SSEServerTransport is a logical SSE session created through a hanging GET request.

When connected, it returns the following Stream implementation:

func NewSSEServerTransport 

func NewSSEServerTransport(endpoint string, w http.ResponseWriter) *SSEServerTransport

NewSSEServerTransport creates a new SSE transport for the given messages endpoint, and hanging GET response.

Use SSEServerTransport.Connect to initiate the flow of messages.

The transport is itself an http.Handler. It is the caller's responsibility to ensure that the resulting transport serves HTTP requests on the given session endpoint.

Most callers should instead use an SSEHandler, which transparently handles the delegation to SSEServerTransports.

func (*SSEServerTransport) Connect 

func (t *SSEServerTransport) Connect(context.Context) (Stream, error)

Connect sends the 'endpoint' event to the client. See SSEServerTransport for more details on the Stream implementation.

func (*SSEServerTransport) ServeHTTP 

func (t *SSEServerTransport) ServeHTTP(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request)

ServeHTTP handles POST requests to the transport endpoint.

type Server 

type Server struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A Server is an instance of an MCP server.

Servers expose server-side MCP features, which can serve one or more MCP sessions by using [Server.Start] or Server.Run.

}

func SayHi(ctx context.Context, cc *mcp.ServerSession, params *mcp.CallToolParams[SayHiParams]) (*mcp.CallToolResult, error) {
	return &mcp.CallToolResult{
		Content: []*mcp.Content{
			mcp.NewTextContent("Hi " + params.Arguments.Name),
		},
	}, nil
}

NewPrompt is a helper that uses reflection to create a prompt for the given handler.

The arguments for the prompt are extracted from the request type for the handler. The handler request type must be a struct consisting only of fields of type string or *string. The argument names for the resulting prompt definition correspond to the JSON names of the request fields, and any fields that are not marked "omitempty" are considered required.

The handler is passed GetPromptParams so it can have access to prompt parameters other than name and arguments. At present, there are no such parameters.

type ServerResource
