What is the Tiny Go MCP server?

Tiny Go MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Demo stdio MCP server (tools, resource, prompt) for tinymcp tests—not production use.

What you get

A lightweight Model Context Protocol (MCP) toolkit for Go. Build spec-compliant MCP servers (stdio, streamable HTTP, legacy SSE) with tools, resources, and prompts — minimal boilerplate and automatic JSON Schema from Go structs.

Setting it up

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.

What the assistant can call

Once Tiny Go is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • add — Test that the client can call an addition tool
  • subtract — Test subtraction wiring (use instead of add for subtraction tests)
  • greet — Test a text-returning tool (use instead of add/subtract for messaging demos)
  • Philosophy — We reduce setup and transport boilerplate (server creation, registration error handling, stdio/HTTP/SSE, TextResult, deploy examples). The protocol
  • Transport — Start() runs stdio (stdin/stdout) — what most local AI clients expect
  • Cursor — The Cursor tool exposed by this server

Before you rely on it

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the tiny go mcp server does with a few real requests.

Choosing this one

Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Tiny Go's toolset — add, subtract, greet and 3 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by kioie; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

}

Configuration as documented by the project. Restart the client after saving.

Example prompts to try

  • Use Tiny Go to add.
  • Use Tiny Go to subtract.
  • Use Tiny Go to greet.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Tiny Go to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 6 tools (add, subtract, greet, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Tiny Go directly.
