Build Production Go MCP Servers: The Definitive Guide Introduction: The Rise of Agentic Infrastructures The ecosystem of AI is shifting from passive chat boxes to autonomous agents. Building a Go MCP server allows developers to safely connect AI models with databases and APIs. Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) establishes this secure, bidirectional communication between AI client environments and backend service APIs.
