How to Set Up and Use Go SDK
The Go SDK provides a Go implementation of the Model Context Protocol, enabling seamless integration between LLM applications and external data sources and tools. Build high-performance MCP servers and clients in Go for production deployments.
Prerequisites
- Go 1.18 or higher installed
- Basic knowledge of Go programming
- An MCP client such as Claude Desktop or Cursor
- Git for cloning repository
Install Go
Verify Go is installed (1.18+). Download from golang.org if needed.
go versionClone MCP Go SDK
Get the official Go SDK for Model Context Protocol.
git clone https://github.com/mark3labs/mcp-go
cd mcp-goExamine examples
Study the included examples to understand Go MCP patterns.
Create your MCP server
Build a simple MCP server in Go using the SDK as a library.
Build executable
Compile your Go MCP server into a standalone binary.
go build -o my-mcp-server .Connect to Claude Desktop
Configure Claude Desktop to use your compiled Go MCP server.
Go SDK Examples
MCP client configuration
Configure a Go-built MCP server in your client.
{
"mcpServers": {
"go-server": {
"command": "/path/to/my-mcp-server"
}
}
}Prompts to try
Use these prompts to test your Go MCP server.
"Call the tools from my Go MCP server"
"Use my Go server to fetch data"
"Show me all resources available from my Go implementation"
"Test concurrent requests to my Go MCP server"Troubleshooting Go SDK
Go compilation fails
Verify Go 1.18+ is installed with go version. Run go mod download to ensure dependencies are available. Check that the Go SDK is correctly imported in your code.
MCP server not connecting to Claude
Verify the binary has execute permissions on Linux/macOS. Check the path in Claude Desktop config is correct and absolute. Test the executable manually first to ensure it starts without errors.
Performance issues with Go server
Build with optimizations: go build -ldflags='-s -w'. Profile your server with pprof to identify bottlenecks. Ensure concurrent request handling is properly implemented with goroutines.
