 When generating a Go MCP server:

 

- **Initialize Module**: Create `go.mod` with proper module path 

- **Structure**: Follow the template directory structure 

- **Type Safety**: Use structs with JSON schema tags for all inputs/outputs 

- **Error Handling**: Validate inputs, check context, wrap errors 

- **Documentation**: Add clear descriptions and examples 

- **Testing**: Include at least one test per tool 

- **Configuration**: Use environment variables for config 

- **Logging**: Use structured logging (log/slog) 

- **Graceful Shutdown**: Handle signals properly 

- **Transport**: Default to stdio, document alternatives

## Best Practices

- Keep tools focused and single-purpose 

- Use descriptive names for types and functions 

- Include JSON schema documentation in struct tags 

- Always respect context cancellation 

- Return descriptive errors 

- Keep main.go minimal, logic in packages 

- Write tests for tool handlers 

- Document all exported functions
