Overview

MCP4Go is a comprehensive Go SDK for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), designed to simplify AI application development by abstracting away protocol complexities.

To use MCP4Go, install it using Go modules with the command: go get github.com/mcp4go/mcp4go. Then, you can integrate it into your Go applications to leverage the MCP functionalities.

  • Complete MCP protocol implementation in pure Go - High-level abstractions for common MCP resources - Pluggable architecture for custom extensions - Comprehensive documentation and examples - Production-ready with robust error handling
  1. Developing AI applications that require context management.
  2. Implementing JSON-RPC communication in Go applications.
  3. Creating custom tools and extensions for the Model Context Protocol.

Add to your AI client

Use these steps to connect MCP4Go in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp4go-mcp4go": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp4go-mcp4go"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp4go-mcp4go": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp4go-mcp4go"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp4go-mcp4go": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp4go-mcp4go"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "mcp4go-mcp4go": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp4go-mcp4go"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp4go-mcp4go": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp4go-mcp4go"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp4go-mcp4go": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp4go-mcp4go"
      ]
    }
  }
}
