What is this? 🤔

This repository showcases:
- How to build an MCP server using Go 🐹.
- A simple and fun way to explore MCP Protocol 🎮.
- A starting point for your own custom MCP server adventures! 🌟

Tools 🌟

- hello, takes the parameters Submitter and Content.
- calculate, takes the parameters A and B. Example use is "calculate 2 and 4".

Quick Start 🚀

- Clone
- Install
- Build
- Run

1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/your-username/hello-mcp-go.git

    cd hello-mcp

    

2. Install dependencies:

    go mod tidy

    

3. Build the project:

    go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o server.exe main.go

    

    go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o server main.go

    

You will use this later when you want to consume it from Visual Studio Code.

1. Run the server:

    ./server

    

Consuming the Server with GitHub Copilot Agent Mode 🍴

1. Place yourself in mcp.json, make sure the server has been built (right now it's adjusted).

1. Adjust the "command" to point to the absolute path of your executable.

   {
     "servers": {
        "my-mcp-server-d73c20f3": {
            "type": "stdio",
            "command": "/path/to/your/executable"
        }
     }
   }
   

1. Open Copilot and select Agent in dropdown

1. Select the play icon.

You should see the tool icon showing two tools.

1. Test it with a phrase like so "calculate 2 and 4". This should present a button that invokes the tool on the server.

Have Fun! 🎉
