Next-Gen AI Tooling with MCP Servers in Go

on YouTube ↗22m

" summary

Built a local MCP server in Go that scrapes the GopherCon agenda and exposes two concrete tools (a list sessions tool and a get session detail tool) using the github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk v0.3 (released just before the talk). The MCP server runs as a sidecar to Cursor and VS Code, returns structured JSON context so the IDE agent stops hallucinating, supports error handling for missing IDs, and the live demo succeeds.
