* feat: add agent demo example and blog post
Add examples/agent-demo with a multi-service project management app
(projects, tasks, team) that demonstrates AI agents interacting with
Go Micro services through MCP. Includes seed data and example prompts.
Add blog post 4 "Agents Meet Microservices: A Hands-On Demo" walking
through the example code and showing cross-service agent workflows.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01GkduEhcrqcG45rdfYh8dAc
* feat: enable multiple services in a single binary
Remove global state mutations from service and cmd option functions so
that configuring one service no longer overwrites another's settings.
Key changes:
- service/options.go: remove all DefaultXxx global writes from option
functions; newOptions() now creates fresh Server, Client, Store, and
Cache per service while sharing Registry, Broker, and Transport
- cmd/cmd.go: newCmd() uses local copies instead of pointers to package
globals; Before() no longer mutates DefaultXxx vars
- cmd/options.go: remove global mutations from all option functions
- service/service.go: export ServiceImpl type for cross-package use
- service/group.go: new Group type for multi-service lifecycle
- micro.go: add Start/Stop to Service interface, expose Group and
NewGroup convenience function
- examples/multi-service: working example with two services
https://claude.ai/code/session_01GkduEhcrqcG45rdfYh8dAc
* docs: highlight multi-service binary support
Add multi-service section to README with code example, update features
list, add to examples index, and note in status summary.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01GkduEhcrqcG45rdfYh8dAc
* feat: unify service API and clean up developer experience
- Unified service creation: micro.New("name", opts...) as canonical API
- Clean handler registration: service.Handle(handler, opts...) accepts
server.HandlerOption args directly, no need to reach through Server()
- Unexported serviceImpl: users interact through Service interface only
- Service groups use Service interface (not concrete type)
- Fixed Stop() to properly propagate BeforeStop/AfterStop errors
- Fixed store init: error-level log instead of fatal on init failure
- Updated all examples to use consistent patterns
- Updated README, getting-started, MCP docs, and guides
- Added blog post about the DX cleanup
https://claude.ai/code/session_01GkduEhcrqcG45rdfYh8dAc
* fix: add blog post 5 to blog index
Blog post 5 (Developer Experience Cleanup) existed as a file but was
missing from the blog index page.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01GkduEhcrqcG45rdfYh8dAc
* feat: make micro new generate MCP-enabled services by default
- main.go template includes mcp.WithMCP(":3001") by default
- Handler template has agent-friendly doc comments with @example tags
- Proto template has descriptive field comments
- README includes MCP usage, Claude Code config, and tool description tips
- Makefile adds mcp-tools, mcp-test, mcp-serve targets
- go.mod updated to Go 1.22
- Added --no-mcp flag to opt out of MCP integration
- Post-create output shows MCP endpoint URLs
https://claude.ai/code/session_01GkduEhcrqcG45rdfYh8dAc
* docs: add MCP migration guide and troubleshooting guide
- Migration guide: 3 approaches to add MCP to existing services
(WithMCP one-liner, standalone gateway, CLI)
- Troubleshooting guide: common issues with agents, WebSocket,
Claude Code, auth, rate limiting, and performance
https://claude.ai/code/session_01GkduEhcrqcG45rdfYh8dAc
* refactor: rename model/ package to ai/ for AI model providers
The model/ package name conflicted with the conventional use of "model"
for data models. Renamed to ai/ which better describes the package's
purpose (AI provider abstraction for Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.) and frees
up model/ for future data model layer use.
- Rename model/ → ai/ with package name change
- Update all Go imports from go-micro.dev/v5/model to go-micro.dev/v5/ai
- Update cmd/micro/server/server.go references (model.X → ai.X)
- Update all documentation and roadmap references
- All tests pass, CLI builds successfully
https://claude.ai/code/session_01GkduEhcrqcG45rdfYh8dAc
* feat: add model package for typed data access with CRUD and queries
New model/ package provides a typed data model layer using Go generics.
Supports structured CRUD operations, WHERE filters, ordering, pagination,
and automatic schema creation from struct tags.
Three backends:
- memory: in-memory for development and testing
- sqlite: embedded SQL for dev and single-node production
- postgres: full PostgreSQL for production deployments
Key features:
- Generic Model[T] with Create/Read/Update/Delete/List/Count
- Query builder: Where(), WhereOp(), OrderAsc/Desc(), Limit(), Offset()
- Struct tags: model:"key" for primary key, model:"index" for indexes
- Auto table creation from struct schema
- 19 tests passing across memory and sqlite backends
https://claude.ai/code/session_01GkduEhcrqcG45rdfYh8dAc
* feat: add model code generation to protoc-gen-micro
Extend the micro plugin to generate model structs from proto messages
annotated with // @model. Generated alongside client/server code in
the same .pb.micro.go file.
For a proto message like:
// @model
message User { string id = 1; string name = 2; }
Generates:
- UserModel struct with model:"key" and json tags
- NewUserModel(db) factory returning *model.Model[UserModel]
- UserModelFromProto(*User) *UserModel converter
- (*UserModel).ToProto() *User converter
Supports @model(table=custom_table, key=custom_field) options.
Adds GetComments() to generator for plugin comment inspection.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01GkduEhcrqcG45rdfYh8dAc
* feat: add Model() to Service interface for Client/Server/Model trifecta
Every service now exposes Client(), Server(), and Model() — call services,
handle requests, and save/query data from the same interface. Includes
README docs, blog post, and a full model guide on the docs site.

* Update docs and roadmap to March 2026 with focus priorities
- ROADMAP.md: Updated from Nov 2025 to reflect Q1 completions and current state
- ROADMAP_2026.md: Updated status to March 2026, added model package as delivered
- CURRENT_STATUS_SUMMARY.md: Rewrote with March 2026 status and clear next priorities
- PROJECT_STATUS_2026.md: Added model package section, updated recommendations
- Website roadmap: Updated Q3 security status and timestamps
Key focus areas identified: documentation guides, multi-protocol MCP,
LlamaIndex SDK, and OpenTelemetry integration.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01GkduEhcrqcG45rdfYh8dAc
* Add CLAUDE.md and four documentation guides to fill doc gaps
- CLAUDE.md: Project guide with structure, build commands, and priorities
- ai-native-services.md: End-to-end tutorial building an MCP-enabled task service
- mcp-security.md: Production security guide (auth, scopes, rate limiting, audit)
- tool-descriptions.md: Best practices for writing Go comments that help agents
- agent-patterns.md: Six integration patterns from single-agent to event-driven
- Updated docs index with new "AI & Agents" section linking all four guides
These were the highest priority gaps identified in the roadmap analysis:
the framework has solid features that were under-documented.

micro build:
- Default: builds Go binaries to ./bin/
- Cross-compile with --os and --arch
- Docker is optional via --docker flag
micro deploy:
- Requires --ssh user@host
- Copies pre-built binaries (if ./bin/ exists)
- Or syncs source and builds on remote
- No Docker dependency
Go binaries are self-contained. No runtime needed.

Provides a test harness for running micro services in isolation:
h := testing.NewHarness(t)
defer h.Stop()
h.Name("users").Register(new(UsersHandler))
h.Start()
var rsp Response
h.Call("UsersHandler.Create", &req, &rsp)
Features:
- Isolated registry, transport, and broker per harness
- Simple API: Name(), Register(), Start(), Stop()
- Call helpers: Call(), CallContext()
- Assertions: AssertServiceRunning(), AssertCallSucceeds(), AssertCallFails()
- Access to underlying Client(), Server(), Registry()
Note: Due to go-micro's global defaults, each harness tests one service.
For multi-service testing, use integration tests or mocks.
Also fixes README.md example showing conflicting port 8080.

micro run now starts an HTTP gateway alongside your services:
- Web dashboard at http://localhost:8080
- API proxy at /api/{service}/{method}
- Health checks at /health
- Service listing at /services
The experience is now:
$ micro new helloworld
$ cd helloworld
$ micro run
Open http://localhost:8080 to see and call your services.
New flags:
--address :3000 # Custom gateway port
--no-gateway # Disable gateway (services only)
Updated documentation to make this the central experience.

Adds a new health package providing:
- /health endpoint for overall health status
- /health/live for Kubernetes liveness probes
- /health/ready for Kubernetes readiness probes
- Built-in checks: PingCheck, TCPCheck, HTTPCheck, DNSCheck
- Critical vs non-critical checks
- Concurrent check execution
- Configurable timeouts
- Service info metadata
Integrates with micro run's health check waiting when services
specify a port in their micro.mu configuration.
Example usage:
health.Register("database", health.PingCheck(db.Ping))
health.Register("redis", health.TCPCheck("localhost:6379", time.Second))
health.RegisterHandlers(mux)
