A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides real-time access to official Go style guides for intelligent code review.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides real-time access to official Go style guides for intelligent code review. The go review mcp mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 9 defined tools rather than through you.
Go Review MCP fetches the latest style guides directly from official and recommended sources:
The server ships on npm as @modelcontextprotocol/inspector, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
search_live_guide — Search through all live-fetched Go style guide content for specific patterns (auto-fetches guides on first use)get_guide_topic — Extract topic-specific content from all live guides (naming, errors, concurrency, testing, interfaces, formatting, comments, imports, context)get_review_guidelines — Get curated review guidelines for specific topicsOfficial — The Official tool exposed by this serverRecommended — The Recommended tool exposed by this serverTools — The Tools tool exposed by this serverPrompts — The Prompts tool exposed by this serverCrush — The Crush tool exposed by this serverBuilding — The Building tool exposed by this serverAmong the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Go Review MCP's toolset — search_live_guide, get_guide_topic, get_review_guidelines and 6 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by brunokrugel; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
