* feat: add micro new --prompt and micro run --prompt
Add AI-powered service generation: describe a system in natural
language and get real go-micro services with proto definitions,
handlers, doc comments, and MCP support.
micro new --prompt "a contact book with notes and tags" \
--provider anthropic
Generates:
contacts/ — CRUD service with name, email, phone fields
notes/ — notes linked to contacts
tags/ — tagging system
Each service gets:
proto/{name}.proto — domain model + CRUD endpoints
handler/{name}.go — in-memory store, @example tags for MCP
main.go — MCP-enabled, proper imports
go.mod + Makefile — compiles with go mod tidy + make proto
micro run --prompt does the same then starts all services.
The LLM designs the architecture (service names, fields, endpoints,
descriptions) and returns structured JSON. Code generation uses
the existing template patterns — the output is standard go-micro
code that compiles, runs, and is immediately callable via MCP
and micro chat. No AI dependency at runtime.
* feat: LLM generates real business logic with compile-fix loop
Rebuild the generate package so the LLM writes actual handler
code with business logic, not just CRUD scaffolding.
The flow is now:
1. LLM designs architecture (service names, fields, endpoints)
→ returns structured JSON
2. Proto, main.go, go.mod, Makefile generated deterministically
from the design (guaranteed to be correct)
3. go mod tidy + make proto compiles the protos
4. LLM generates handler code with REAL business logic
→ given the proto, endpoint descriptions, and go-micro patterns
5. go build — does it compile?
6. If no: feed errors back to LLM, get fixed code (up to 3 attempts)
7. If yes: service is ready
The handler prompt instructs the LLM to:
- Use sync.RWMutex for thread-safe in-memory state
- Include validation, edge cases, meaningful errors
- Write doc comments with @example tags for MCP
- Implement actual domain logic, not just map operations
Proto generation still uses deterministic templates (CRUD +
custom endpoints from the design spec) to guarantee correctness.
The compile-fix loop catches LLM mistakes automatically.
Both micro new --prompt and micro run --prompt use this flow.
* fix: handle edge cases in prompt-based generation
- Fix PATH for protoc-gen-micro in child processes
- Handle existing directories: skip structural files (main.go,
go.mod, Makefile) if dir exists, always regenerate proto,
only write placeholder handler if none exists
- Allow re-running micro new --prompt on same directory to
iterate on business logic without clobbering user edits
Tested end-to-end: "a simple todo list with tasks and categories"
generates 2 services (task-service, category-service) with real
business logic (validation, toggle complete, etc.), compiles
after 1 fix iteration, and runs with 6 MCP tools discovered.
* feat: auto-detect modified handlers on regeneration
Instead of requiring a --keep-handlers flag, the generate package now
tracks a SHA-256 hash of each generated handler in a .micro metadata
file. On re-run, if the user has edited the handler since generation,
it's left untouched. Unmodified handlers are regenerated normally.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd
* feat: add tests, fix go.mod, gitignore, proto tracking, spinner
- Add 12 tests covering helpers, proto generation, hash tracking
- Fix go.mod: write minimal module file, let go mod tidy resolve deps
- Add .gitignore to prompt-generated services
- Protect user-edited proto files (same hash tracking as handlers)
- Add spinner during LLM calls so it doesn't look hung
https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd
* feat: signal handling, existing service discovery, help text
- Ctrl+C during generation now cancels LLM calls immediately via
signal-aware context; re-run picks up where it left off
- Design() scans for existing services in the working directory and
includes their proto definitions in the prompt, so the LLM extends
the system rather than redesigning from scratch
- Updated --prompt help text with usage examples on both new and run
- Listed all supported providers in flag descriptions
- Added discoverExisting test
https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd
* feat: show endpoints in run --prompt output, add micro chat hint
Print endpoint names and descriptions when designing services so users
see what was built. Add a micro chat hint to the run banner so users
know how to interact with their services after startup.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd
* fix: generated go.mod uses go 1.24 with explicit go-micro require
go 1.22 with no explicit require caused Go to resolve sub-packages
(gateway/mcp, client, server) as separate modules, hitting stale v1.18
tags. Pin to go 1.24 + require go-micro.dev/v5 v5.24.0 so go mod tidy
resolves all sub-packages from the root module correctly.
Tested end-to-end: 4 services generated and compiled successfully.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd
* fix: skip handler regeneration when proto unchanged
Compare proto hash before and after structure generation. If the proto
didn't change and the handler wasn't edited by the user, skip go mod
tidy, make proto, LLM handler generation, and compile-fix entirely.
Prints "(unchanged)" instead.
Reduces re-run of 4-service project from ~2 minutes to ~10 seconds.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd
* feat: confirm design before generating code
Show the service design (names, endpoints) and prompt "Generate? [Y/n]"
before spending LLM time on handler generation. Applies to both
micro new --prompt and micro run --prompt. Default is yes (enter).
https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd
* fix: use port :0 for MCP in generated multi-service projects
Each generated service had mcp.WithMCP(":3001") hardcoded, causing
port conflicts when running multiple services. Use :0 to auto-assign
a free port. micro run's central gateway handles unified MCP access.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd
* feat: truncation detection, tool result display in chat
- Detect truncated LLM responses (unbalanced braces, doesn't end
with '}') and retry with a conciseness hint before falling through
to compile-fix
- Show tool call results in micro chat output (← for success, ✗ for
errors) so users can see what the LLM did
- Add Result/Error fields to ToolCall, populated by Anthropic provider
after tool execution
- Add isTruncated tests
Tested end-to-end with Anthropic: services generate, compile, start,
register, respond to RPC calls, and micro chat discovers and calls
tools correctly.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd
* fix: Anthropic tool loop, service naming, chat tool results
Anthropic provider:
- Fix tool execution loop to properly iterate (was re-processing all
tool calls instead of only new ones each round)
- Clean assistant content blocks before sending back (strip 'id' from
text blocks that Anthropic rejects on input)
- Include tools in follow-up requests so model can make additional calls
- Loop up to 10 rounds until model responds with text only
Service naming:
- Strip '-service' suffix from micro.New() name so services register
as 'task', 'category' instead of 'taskservice', 'categoryservice'
Chat:
- Show tool results (← for success) and errors (✗) in chat output
Tested end-to-end: create task → list tasks works as multi-step
orchestration through micro chat with Anthropic Claude.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd
* feat: blog post 13 — from prompt to production
Covers the full micro run --prompt flow: design, generate, compile-fix,
run, and chat orchestration. Positions agent-as-orchestrator as the
answer to service coordination.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd
* fix: timeouts, max_tokens, TTY detection, smaller services
- Add 60s timeout on design, 90s on handler generation, 60s on
compile-fix LLM calls so hung providers don't block forever
- Bump Anthropic max_tokens from 4096 to 8192 to reduce truncation
- Add TTY detection: spinner prints static message in non-TTY (CI/pipes)
instead of ANSI escape codes
- Tighten prompts: max 200 lines per handler, 2-4 services, 5-8 fields,
explicit "services don't call each other" rule
https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd
* feat: chat suggests creating services when capabilities are missing
Update system prompt with the list of available services. When the user
asks for something no existing service can handle, the agent explains
what's available and suggests the exact micro new --prompt command to
create the missing service.
This is the natural evolution path: start with a few services, talk to
them via chat, and when the domain grows, the agent tells you what to
add. Each service stays small and focused.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd
* feat: chat generates and starts services inline, drop -service suffix
Chat agent now has a micro_generate_service tool. When the user asks
for a capability that doesn't exist, the agent generates the service,
compiles it, starts it as a background process, waits for registration,
re-discovers tools, and uses the new endpoints immediately — all within
the conversation.
Service naming: design prompt now instructs LLM to return names without
'-service' suffix (e.g. 'task' not 'task-service'). buildMain keeps
TrimSuffix as safety net for backward compatibility.
Spawned processes are cleaned up when chat exits.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd
* docs: rewrite blog post 13 with inline service generation
Updated to reflect the full UX: services generate and start within
the chat conversation. Added the shipping example showing the agent
creating a service mid-conversation. Removed -service suffix from
all examples. Tightened the narrative around agent-as-orchestrator.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd
* feat: persistent storage, README quickstart, auto-detect new services
Storage: generated handlers now use go-micro's store package instead
of in-memory maps. Data persists across restarts. The handler prompt
includes store API examples so the LLM generates correct store usage.
README: added "Generate From a Prompt" section with micro run --prompt
and micro chat examples, linking to blog post 13.
Watcher: micro run now scans for new service directories every 5s. When
micro chat generates a service, micro run detects the new directory,
builds it, starts it, and adds it to the watcher — fully automatic.
Added AddDir/Dirs methods to the watcher.
Blog: updated post 13 with persistent storage example and watcher note.

* refactor(ai): rename ToolSet to Tools, simplify wiring with WithTools
Move tool discovery/execution fully into the ai package as ai.Tools
(formerly ai.ToolSet), and simplify the usage model:
- NewTools(reg, ai.ToolClient(c)) takes the execution client as an
option instead of threading it through Handler(c) per call
- New ai.WithTools(tools) option wires the tool handler into a model
in one call, replacing ai.WithToolHandler(set.Handler(c))
- ai.DiscoverTools(reg) for one-shot discovery
Before:
set := ai.NewToolSet(reg)
list, _ := set.Discover()
m := ai.New(p, ai.WithToolHandler(set.Handler(client)))
After:
tools := ai.NewTools(reg, ai.ToolClient(client))
list, _ := tools.Discover()
m := ai.New(p, ai.WithTools(tools))
Update ai/flow, micro chat, README, ai integration doc, Atlas Cloud
guide, and blog posts 3/8/9/10.
* feat(cli): add per-interface commands (registry, broker, store, config)
Map go-micro's core interfaces onto the CLI so the framework's
building blocks are inspectable and manipulable from the terminal:
micro registry list/get/watch service discovery
micro broker publish/subscribe pub/sub messaging
micro store read/write/delete/list persistence
micro config get/dump dynamic config (from env)
Structured pluggably in cmd/micro/resource: each interface is one
file exposing a Command() func, all wired through a commandFuncs
slice in resource.go. Adding a new resource command is a single
file plus one slice entry. Shared printJSON/fail helpers keep
output and errors consistent across commands.
Each command's verbs mirror the interface methods. Output is JSON
for structured data, raw for single values. Update README and
getting-started with an "inspecting the framework" section.

* feat: update Go Micro logo to interconnected nodes design
Replace the text-on-blue-square logo with a modern icon: three
teal nodes connected in a triangle, representing distributed
systems. Generated via Atlas Cloud. Clean at all sizes — works
as GitHub avatar, favicon, and nav bar icon.
* feat: new logo, AI integration architecture doc, and landing page CTA
Update logo to triangle-nodes icon + "Go Micro" text wordmark.
Save icon-only variant for favicon/avatar use.
Add docs/ai-integration.md — a single page that explains how the
AI stack fits together: services → registry → MCP gateway →
ai/tools → ai.Model → micro chat. Layer-by-layer with code
examples, provider table, and "what you don't need" section.
Add AI Integration to docs sidebar navigation (after Getting
Started). Update the landing page AI section with a direct CTA
button linking to the new doc.
* fix: restore original logo and add border-radius to all renders
Revert logo to original. Add border-radius: 8px to the logo img
in the landing page nav, docs layout nav, and blog layout nav
so the square logo renders with rounded corners everywhere.
Remove unused icon.png.
* feat(ai): add ai/flow package and micro flow CLI
Add ai/flow — event-driven LLM orchestration for go-micro. A Flow
subscribes to a broker topic, discovers services as tools, and
feeds each event into an LLM that decides which RPCs to call.
Key types:
- flow.New(name, opts...) creates a flow with trigger topic,
prompt template, provider config
- flow.Register(registry, broker, client) wires it into a service
- flow.Execute(ctx, data) runs the flow once (for testing/CLI)
- flow.Results() returns execution history
Add micro flow CLI with two subcommands:
- micro flow run: subscribe to a topic and react to events
- micro flow exec: one-shot execution with inline data
Both output JSON results with flow name, prompt, tool calls,
reply, answer, duration, and errors.
Example:
micro flow run --trigger events.user.created \
--prompt "New user: {{.Data}}. Send welcome email." \
--provider anthropic
micro flow exec --prompt "List all users" --provider anthropic
* docs: update flows blog post with ai/flow package and CLI examples
Add "Update: We Built It" section to blog/9 showing the ai/flow
package API, CLI usage for both event-driven and one-shot modes,
and what it does/doesn't do. Links the conceptual discussion to
the shipped implementation.
* feat(cli): add micro api gateway command, clarify run vs server
Add 'micro api' — a standalone lightweight HTTP-to-RPC gateway:
- POST /{service}/{endpoint} proxies to RPC calls
- GET / lists all services and endpoints
- GET /{service} describes a service
- GET /health returns ok
- Supports Micro-Endpoint header for endpoint routing
- No dashboard, no auth, no hot reload — just the proxy
Update help text to clarify the three gateway modes:
- micro api: bare HTTP-to-RPC proxy
- micro run: development mode (hot reload + gateway + agent playground)
- micro server: production mode (dashboard + auth + JWT)
* docs: update README, getting started, and AI integration for all new features
Update the development workflow table in both README and getting
started to include all CLI commands: micro new --template,
micro api, micro chat, micro flow, micro call.
Getting started:
- Add CRUD template example to quick start
- Update workflow table with 8 stages
- Add AI Integration, MCP, and gRPC Interop to Next Steps
README:
- Add template flag to quick start example
- Update workflow table
- Reorder User Guides with AI Integration prominent
AI Integration doc:
- Update stack diagram to include micro api and ai/flow
- Add micro flow section with Go API and CLI examples
- Add micro api section
- Renumber layers (now 8 instead of 7)

* feat(website): redesign docs and blog layouts, add blog header images
Redesign both layouts to match the new landing page:
- Consistent nav bar with logo, Docs, Blog, GitHub, Reference, Home
- Consistent footer with copyright and links
- CSS custom properties for theming
- Updated typography, spacing, and code block styling
- Active sidebar link highlighting in docs
- Dark mode support preserved
Generate 4 blog header images via Atlas Cloud:
- blog-deploy.png for post 1 (micro deploy)
- blog-mcp.png for posts 2, 3, 7 (MCP-related)
- blog-agents-demo.png for post 4 (agents demo)
- blog-dx.png for post 5 (DX cleanup)
- Reuse data-model.png for post 6 (model package)
All 7 existing blog posts now have header images.
* fix(website): prevent horizontal scroll on mobile landing page
Add overflow-x: hidden on html and body. Set max-width: 100% and
height: auto on all section and two-col images. Add overflow:
hidden to .two-col grid. Constrain hero pre with max-width and
overflow-x. Reduce font sizes and padding at mobile breakpoint.
* feat(website): add images to remaining core doc pages
Generate 5 more images via Atlas Cloud for docs:
- registry.png: service discovery diagram
- broker.png: pub/sub message broker pattern
- transport.png: multi-transport layers (HTTP, gRPC, NATS)
- config.png: dynamic configuration from multiple sources
- observability.png: monitoring dashboard with metrics/traces
Add images to registry.md, broker.md, transport.md, config.md,
observability.md, and architecture.md. All 11 main doc pages
now have header images.
* feat: add sponsor logos to landing page, README images, and flows blog post
Add Anthropic and Atlas Cloud sponsor logos to the landing page
with links to their respective blog posts. Logos display at 0.7
opacity with hover effect.
Add architecture and MCP agent images to the GitHub README for
the Overview and MCP sections.
Write blog post 9: "From Chat to Flows" — explores the concept
of LLM-powered service orchestration. Compares micro chat's
interactive model with persistent event-driven flows, shows how
the existing building blocks (ai/tools, History, broker) could
compose into a flow engine, discusses tradeoffs vs traditional
orchestration (Step Functions, Temporal), and includes a working
15-line code example. Explicitly positions it as a concept for
community feedback, not an announcement.
* feat(website): add animated hero video to landing page
Generate a 6-second hero video via Atlas Cloud's image-to-video
API (gemini-omni-flash). Shows the microservices network diagram
animating with data flowing between nodes.
Replace the static hero image with an autoplay muted looping
video element. Falls back to the static image via poster
attribute and img fallback for browsers without video support.
* feat(ai): add VideoModel interface with Atlas Cloud provider
Add ai.VideoModel interface for video generation alongside Model
and ImageModel. Supports text-to-video and image-to-video via
VideoRequest with prompt, reference images, duration, aspect
ratio, and resolution fields.
Implement GenerateVideo for Atlas Cloud using their async API:
POST /api/v1/model/generateVideo → poll /api/v1/model/prediction.
Default model is gemini-omni-flash image-to-video. Polls every
5 seconds until completion or context cancellation.
Register Atlas Cloud as a video provider via ai.RegisterVideo.
Add 3 tests: registration, no-key error, compile-time interface
check. Update ai/README.md with VideoModel docs.
The ai package now covers all three modalities:
- Model (text) — 7 providers
- ImageModel (image) — 2 providers (Atlas Cloud, OpenAI)
- VideoModel (video) — 1 provider (Atlas Cloud)

Use height="26" on both logos for consistent alignment. Switch
Anthropic to the Wikimedia wordmark SVG (no padding) instead of
the logo.wine version which had excessive whitespace.

Add blog/8 announcing Atlas Cloud as an official Go Micro sponsor.
Covers the sponsorship, Atlas Cloud's platform (300+ models, OpenAI
compatibility, enterprise compliance), and how the integration
works with the ai package, ai/tools, micro chat, and micro run.
Add guides/atlascloud-integration.md with full setup instructions:
quick start, configuration options, environment variables, model
selection, tool calling with services, and provider swapping.
Add Atlas Cloud and AI Provider guides to the docs sidebar
navigation. Add sponsorship link to README header.
Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: add AI provider integration guide and Supported AI Providers section
Add a step-by-step guide for AI infrastructure companies to implement
ai.Model and contribute a provider to go-micro. Covers the full
lifecycle: skeleton, tool call handling, tests, registration, and PR
checklist.
Add a "Supported AI Providers" section to the project README that lists
current providers (Anthropic, OpenAI) in a table and links to the
integration guide with a call-to-action for new providers and sponsors.
Streamline the "Adding a New Provider" section in ai/README.md to point
to the new guide instead of duplicating a full code listing.
* fix: remove nonexistent Discord link from README
* fix(website): set content container width to 800px on desktop
Move the 800px max-width from .markdown-body up to .content so
the entire content pane (not just the inner body) is sized
correctly. The container now fills up to 800px beside the sidebar.
* feat(ai): wire Atlas Cloud into server and auto-detection
Import atlascloud provider in the micro server so it is available
when running micro run / micro server. Add atlascloud to
AutoDetectProvider so --ai_base_url with an atlascloud domain
selects the right provider automatically.
* feat(ai): add Google Gemini provider
Add ai/gemini implementing ai.Model for Google's Gemini API. Uses
the native generateContent endpoint with system_instruction,
contents/parts, and functionDeclarations — not an OpenAI shim.
Default model gemini-2.5-flash, auth via x-goog-api-key header.
Wire into micro server imports and AutoDetectProvider (matches
googleapis.com and google in base URL).
Update README.md and ai/README.md with provider listing.
* feat(ai): add Groq, Mistral, and Together AI providers
Add three new OpenAI-compatible providers:
- ai/groq: ultra-fast inference, default model llama-3.3-70b-versatile
- ai/mistral: Mistral AI, default model mistral-large-latest
- ai/together: Together AI, default model Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct-Turbo
All three are wired into the micro server imports and
AutoDetectProvider. README and ai/README updated with the full
provider table.
* feat(ai): add ai/tools helper and 'micro chat' interactive agent
Extract the registry-discovery + RPC-execution loop from the web
agent playground into a reusable ai/tools package:
- tools.New(reg) creates a Set bound to a registry
- Set.Discover() walks the registry and returns []ai.Tool with
LLM-safe (underscored) names, remembering the mapping back to
the original dotted form
- Set.Handler(client) returns an ai.ToolHandler that resolves
the safe name and issues the RPC
Add cmd/micro/chat — an interactive 'micro chat' REPL that uses
ai/tools to let users talk to their services through any
registered AI provider. Supports --prompt for single-shot use,
auto-detects the provider from --base_url, and falls back to the
provider's conventional env var (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, etc).
Update README with the new command and the programmatic example.
* feat(examples): add gRPC interop example
Add examples/grpc-interop showing that any standard gRPC client can
call a go-micro service — no go-micro SDK required on the client
side. Includes:
- proto/greeter.proto with generated Go, gRPC, and micro stubs
- server/ using go-micro gRPC transport
- client/ using stock google.golang.org/grpc (no go-micro imports)
- README with Python example and explanation of how routing works
Addresses the confusion from issue #2818 where users didn't know
that go-micro gRPC services are callable by any gRPC client.
* fix: strip /api prefix from MCP routes
Change /api/mcp/tools and /api/mcp/call to /mcp/tools and
/mcp/call. MCP is a first-class feature, not a sub-path of the
API proxy. Update server routes, playground template, scopes
template, run.go output, README, CLI README, and all docs.

OpenAI-compatible chat completions API. Registers as "atlascloud"
with default model llama-3.3-70b and base URL
https://api.atlascloud.ai. Supports tool calling via ToolHandler.
Includes 7 unit tests covering registration, defaults, init,
generate-without-key, and stream-not-implemented.
Update the Supported AI Providers table in README.md and the
Supported Providers section in ai/README.md.
* fix: remove nonexistent Discord link from README

* feat: add prometheus monitoring wrapper
Reintroduces the Prometheus metrics wrapper previously available in the
plugins repository, updated for go-micro v5. Exposes request count and
latency histograms for handlers, subscribers, and outgoing client calls
via NewHandlerWrapper, NewSubscriberWrapper, NewCallWrapper and
NewClientWrapper, labelled with service/endpoint/status.
Options cover namespace, subsystem, const labels, histogram buckets and
a custom registerer; duplicate collectors (e.g. from multiple wrappers
sharing the same config) are reused transparently via a cached
metrics bundle.
Fixes#2893
* fix(registry/etcd): clear lease/register caches on KeepAlive channel closure
When the etcd client's long-lived KeepAlive channel closes (e.g. because
the lease expired on the server side during a network partition), the
previous cleanup only removed the channel bookkeeping. The stale entries
in `leases` and `register` caused the next registerNode() heartbeat to
hit the "unchanged hash" short-circuit and skip re-registration entirely,
so the service permanently disappeared from etcd.
Extract the cleanup into handleKeepAliveClosed and also drop the cached
lease id and hash so the next heartbeat performs a full Grant+Put and
the service recovers within one RegisterInterval.
Regression introduced by #2822; fix is symmetric with the existing
synchronous KeepAliveOnce recovery path that propagates
rpctypes.ErrLeaseNotFound.
* docs: add AI provider integration guide and Supported AI Providers section
Add a step-by-step guide for AI infrastructure companies to implement
ai.Model and contribute a provider to go-micro. Covers the full
lifecycle: skeleton, tool call handling, tests, registration, and PR
checklist.
Add a "Supported AI Providers" section to the project README that lists
current providers (Anthropic, OpenAI) in a table and links to the
integration guide with a call-to-action for new providers and sponsors.
Streamline the "Adding a New Provider" section in ai/README.md to point
to the new guide instead of duplicating a full code listing.
* Update contribution guidelines in README.md
Removed Discord contact information for platform contributions.

* feat: add agent platform showcase and blog post
Add a complete platform example (Users, Posts, Comments, Mail) that
mirrors micro/blog, demonstrating how existing microservices become
AI-accessible through MCP with zero code changes.
Includes blog post "Your Microservices Are Already an AI Platform"
walking through real agent workflows: signup, content creation,
commenting, tagging, and cross-service messaging.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01GkduEhcrqcG45rdfYh8dAc
* refactor: rename handler types to drop redundant Service suffix
UserService → Users, PostService → Posts, CommentService → Comments,
MailService → Mail. Matches micro/blog naming convention.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01GkduEhcrqcG45rdfYh8dAc
* refactor: consolidate top-level directories, reduce framework bloat
Move internal/non-public packages behind internal/ or into their
parent packages where they belong:
- deploy/ → gateway/mcp/deploy/ (Helm charts belong with the gateway)
- profile/ → service/profile/ (preset plugin profiles are a service concern)
- scripts/ → internal/scripts/ (install script is not public API)
- test/ → internal/test/ (test harness is not public API)
- util/ → internal/util/ (internal helpers shouldn't be imported externally)
Also fixes CLAUDE.md merge conflict markers and updates project
structure documentation.
All import paths updated. Build and tests pass.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01GkduEhcrqcG45rdfYh8dAc
* refactor: redesign model package to match framework conventions
Rename model.Database interface to model.Model (consistent with
client.Client, server.Server, store.Store). Remove generics in
favor of interface{}-based API with reflection.
Key changes:
- model.Model interface: Register once, CRUD infers table from type
- DefaultModel + NewModel() + package-level convenience functions
- Schema registered via Register(&User{}), no per-call schema passing
- Memory implementation as default (in model package, like store)
- memory/sqlite/postgres backends updated for new interface
- protoc-gen-micro generates RegisterXModel() instead of generic factory
- All docs, blog, and README updated

WebSocket client example, and OpenTelemetry observability section
- mcp-security: add OTel distributed tracing, WebSocket authentication
(connection-level and per-message), DeniedReason audit field
- tool-descriptions: add manual overrides with WithEndpointDocs and
export formats section

https://claude.ai/code/session_01GkduEhcrqcG45rdfYh8dAc
* 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.
