# Build Go MCP servers with MCP Go

Use MCP Go to implement typed Model Context Protocol servers in Go that expose tools, resources, prompts, and transport handlers to agent clients.

## Prerequisites

Go, MCP Go module, MCP-compatible client or host runtime

## Installation

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- // Example: A tool that requires task execution
- Servers that require OAuth can advertise their authorization requirements

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- go get github.com/mark3labs/mcp-go
- Let's create a simple MCP server that exposes a calculator tool and some data:
- go
