Features

• Provides an MCP server for accessing Go documentation efficiently, designed especially for use with LLMs (large language models).
• Enables LLMs to understand Go projects by offering direct access to package documentation without reading entire source files.
• Substantially reduces the number of tokens needed for LLMs to understand and use Go packages.
• Allows retrieval of documentation at varying levels of detail, depending on the needs of the querying agent.
• Useful for:
  • Project understanding: Get an overview of packages and their functions.
  • Package interface understanding: Retrieve interfaces and related types from packages.
  • Implementation guidance: Obtain documentation for specific interfaces or types.
  • API usage: Access documentation for types within a project or dependency.
  • Library exploration: View documentation for external dependencies used in a project.
  • Method discovery: List available methods on types (e.g., from the standard library).
  • Focused learning: Get detailed explanations for configuring or using specific types.
  • Package browsing: List and describe multiple packages within a Go project.
• Exposes a get_doc tool for MCP-capable LLMs (such as Claude) with customizable parameters and advanced command flags.
• Open-source under the MIT License.
