godoc-mcp
Overview
godoc-mcp is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides efficient access to Go documentation. It helps LLMs understand Go projects by providing direct access to package documentation without needing to read entire source files. godoc-mcp can vastly improve the performance of using LLMs to develop in Go by substantially reducing the number of tokens needed to understand and make use of Go packages.
Getting Started
go install github.com/mrjoshuak/godoc-mcp@latestWhy Use godoc-mcp?
In a sentence: godoc-mcp provides a more token efficient way for LLMs to understand Go projects.
Traditional file-reading approaches require LLMs to process entire source files often many files to understand a single package. godoc-mcp provides several advantages:
- Token Efficiency: Returns only the essential documentation, reducing token usage significantly
- Structured Information: Provides official package documentation in a consistent, well-structured format
- Project Navigation: Smart handling of project structures helps LLMs understand multi-package projects
- Integration Ready: Works alongside other MCP servers, enabling both high-level and detailed code analysis
- Performance: Caching and optimized token usage make
godoc-mcpa fast and efficient tool for Go development - Local: Does not require an internet connection to access documentation
