The Lens
By Erik Loyd, SaaS CEO and former COO/CFO of an AWS Premier Partner.
Updated Apr 2026
Official Go SDK for building MCP servers and clients. Handles the JSON-RPC transport, tool registration, resource management, and OAuth primitives so you write the business logic.
Standard Go module install. Well-documented with example implementations. Supports the full MCP specification including streaming and sampling.
Maintained by the Model Context Protocol organization. Free, open source. If you're building MCP servers in Go, this is the canonical choice. Equivalent to FastMCP for Python but for the Go ecosystem.
