Go Micro - Current Status Summary
Updated: February 11, 2026
🎯 Executive Summary
Go Micro's MCP integration is 3-4 months ahead of schedule, with Q1 2026 goals complete and significant Q2/Q3 2026 features already delivered.
Quick Status
- ✅ Q1 2026 (MCP Foundation): 100% COMPLETE
- 🟢 Q2 2026 (Agent DX): 60% COMPLETE (ahead of schedule)
- 🟢 Q3 2026 (Production): 40% COMPLETE (ahead of schedule)
- 🟡 Q4 2026 (Ecosystem): 0% COMPLETE (on track)
📊 What's Been Built
✅ Core MCP Integration (Q1 - COMPLETE)
-
MCP Gateway Library (
gateway/mcp/) - 2,083 lines- HTTP/SSE transport
- Stdio JSON-RPC 2.0 transport
- Service discovery & tool generation
- Schema generation from Go types
-
CLI Commands (
micro mcp)micro mcp serve- Start MCP server (stdio or HTTP)micro mcp list- List available toolsmicro mcp test- Test tools (placeholder)
-
Documentation
- Complete API documentation
- 2 working examples (hello, documented)
- Blog post: "Making Microservices AI-Native with MCP"
✅ Advanced Features (Q2/Q3 - DELIVERED EARLY)
🔒 Security & Auth
- Per-Tool Scopes
- Service-level:
server.WithEndpointScopes("Blog.Create", "blog:write") - Gateway-level:
Options.Scopesmap for overrides - Bearer token authentication
- Scope enforcement before RPC execution
- Service-level:
📊 Observability
-
Tracing
- UUID trace IDs per tool call
- Metadata propagation (
Mcp-Trace-Id,Mcp-Tool-Name,Mcp-Account-Id) - Full call chain tracking
-
Audit Logging
- Immutable audit records per tool call
- Captures: tool, account, scopes, allowed/denied, duration, errors
- Callback function:
Options.AuditFunc
🚦 Rate Limiting
- Per-tool rate limiters
- Configurable requests/second and burst
- Token bucket algorithm
📝 Documentation Extraction
- Auto-extract from Go doc comments
@exampletag support for JSON examples- Struct tag parsing for parameter descriptions
- Manual override via
WithEndpointDocs()
🚀 What Works Today
For Claude Code Users
# Start MCP server for Claude Code
micro mcp serve
# Add to ~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"my-services": {
"command": "micro",
"args": ["mcp", "serve"]
}
}
}
For Library Users
package main
import (
"go-micro.dev/v5"
"go-micro.dev/v5/gateway/mcp"
)
func main() {
service := micro.NewService(micro.Name("myservice"))
service.Init()
// Add MCP gateway (3 lines!)
go mcp.ListenAndServe(":3000", mcp.Options{
Registry: service.Options().Registry,
Auth: authProvider, // Optional: auth.Auth
Scopes: map[string][]string{ // Optional: per-tool scopes
"myservice.Handler.Create": {"write"},
},
RateLimit: &mcp.RateLimitConfig{ // Optional
RequestsPerSecond: 10,
Burst: 20,
},
AuditFunc: func(r mcp.AuditRecord) { // Optional
log.Printf("[audit] %+v", r)
},
})
service.Run()
}
For Service Developers
// Just add Go comments - docs extracted automatically!
// GetUser retrieves a user by ID. Returns full profile with email and preferences.
//
// @example {"id": "user-123"}
func (s *UserService) GetUser(ctx context.Context, req *GetUserRequest, rsp *GetUserResponse) error {
// implementation
}
// Register with scopes
handler := service.Server().NewHandler(
new(UserService),
server.WithEndpointScopes("UserService.Delete", "users:admin"),
)
📈 Test Coverage

- Bidirectional streaming for long-running operations
-
LlamaIndex SDK (~1 week)
- Python package for RAG integration
-
Case Studies (ongoing)
- Document real-world usage
