About ckanthony/gin-mcp
A Go middleware that adds Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoints to any Gin-based API with a single line of code. It automatically exposes existing routes as MCP tools, allowing AI agents to interact with the API through a standardized interface.
Best for
Go developers using Gin who want to quickly expose their API as MCP tools for AI agents
Use cases
- Quickly add MCP support to an existing Gin API without rewriting routes
- Expose backend services as tools for AI agents or assistants
- Prototype MCP integrations in Go projects using the Gin framework
Notes
78 stars on GitHub. Last updated 2026-05-06. Licensed MIT.
Pros
- Minimal integration effort: one line of code to enable MCP
- Leverages existing Gin route definitions automatically
- Lightweight and focused on a single framework
Cons
- Limited to Gin framework, not usable with other Go routers
- Small community and low star count may indicate limited testing
- No built-in authentication or rate limiting for MCP endpoints
