About MCP Calculator

MCP Calculator is a Go-based MCP server example offering calculator and greeting functionality. It implements JSON-RPC 2.0, tool and resource handling, and capability negotiation for demonstrations of server-side MCP development.

Key features

  1. 01Calculator and greeting functions
  2. 02JSON-RPC 2.0 communication
  3. 03Tool registration and execution
  4. 04Resource access handling
  5. 05Capability negotiation and error handling

Use cases

  1. 01Demonstrating Go MCP server implementation
  2. 02Calling calculator and greeting functions over JSON-RPC

MCP support

The MCP server provides calculator and greeting functionality to MCP clients, with tool execution, resource access, and capability negotiation.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

Requirements

  • Go 1.21 or higher

Installation

git clone https://github.com/akhidasTech/mcpcalculator.git
cd mcpcalculator
go mod download

Usage

Starting the Server
go run main.go

The server will start on port 8080.

Making Requests

Tools and resources follow the JSON-RPC 2.0 specification:

Add Tool
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080 \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "add",
    "params": {"a": 5, "b": 3}
  }'
Greeting Resource
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080 \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "greeting",
    "params": {"name": "John"}
  }'
Response Format

All responses follow the JSON-RPC 2.0 format:

{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "result": <result_value>
}

Or for errors:

{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "error": {
        "code": <error_code>,
        "message": "error message",
        "data": <additional_data>
    }
}

Protocol Implementation

This implementation follows the Model Context Protocol specification:

  1. JSON-RPC 2.0: All communication uses the JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol
  2. Capabilities: Server advertises its capabilities during initialization
  3. Tools: Implements the tool registration and execution protocol
  4. Resources: Implements the resource access protocol
  5. Error Handling: Uses standard error codes and formats

Security

This implementation follows MCP security guidelines:

  1. User Consent: Tools and resources require explicit invocation
  2. Data Privacy: No data is shared without explicit requests
  3. Tool Safety: Tool execution is controlled and validated
  4. Error Handling: Proper error reporting and handling

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
