Walkthrough

A new Go example program, simple_client/main.go, has been added to demonstrate a client for the MCP-Go framework. It supports two transport modes, stdio and SSE, selectable via command-line flags. The client initializes communication, handles notifications, and can list server-supported tools and resources, with appropriate error handling and helper functions.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
examples/simple_client/main.go Added a new Go example program implementing a simple MCP-Go client with stdio and SSE transport support. Includes client initialization, notification handling, tool/resource listing, and command parsing helper functions.

63-79: Consider adding a cancellation mechanism for the stderr reader goroutine.

The goroutine that reads from stderr doesn't have a mechanism to stop when the main function exits or when the context is canceled. This could potentially lead to a goroutine leak.

Consider modifying the goroutine to respect context cancellation:

if stderr, ok := client.GetStderr(c); ok {
-	go func() {
+	go func() {
+		done := ctx.Done()
		buf := make([]byte, 4096)
		for {
+			// Check for context cancellation
+			select {
+			case <-done:
+				return
+			default:
+			}
+			
			n, err := stderr.Read(buf)
			if err != nil {
				if err != io.EOF {
					log.Printf("Error reading stderr: %v", err)
				}
				return
			}
			if n > 0 {
				fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "[Server] %s", buf[:n])
			}
		}
	}()
}

158-193: Command parsing could be enhanced to handle escaped quotes.

While the function correctly handles basic quoted strings, it doesn't support escaped quotes inside quoted strings (e.g., "hello \"world\"").

The comment on line 160 already acknowledges this limitation, but if you want to enhance it for better usability, consider adding support for escaped quotes:

func parseCommand(cmd string) []string {
	var result []string
	var current string
	var inQuote bool
	var quoteChar rune
+	var escaped bool

	for _, r := range cmd {
+		if escaped {
+			current += string(r)
+			escaped = false
+			continue
+		}
+		
+		if r == '\\' {
+			escaped = true
+			continue
+		}
		
		switch {
		case r == ' ' && !inQuote:
			if current != "" {
				result = append(result, current)
				current = ""
			}
		case (r == '"' || r == '\''):
			if inQuote && r == quoteChar {
				inQuote = false
				quoteChar = 0
			} else if !inQuote {
				inQuote = true
				quoteChar = r
			} else {
				current += string(r)
			}
		default:
			current += string(r)
		}
	}

	if current != "" {
		result = append(result, current)
	}

	return result
}

52-57: Consider adding error handling for nil command.

The transport.NewStdio() function might not validate that the command is not empty, which could lead to runtime errors.

While the code already checks that args is not empty, it might be clearer to add a specific check for command validity:

// Create stdio transport with verbose logging
+ if command == "" {
+   log.Fatalf("Error: Empty command specified")
+ }
stdioTransport := transport.NewStdio(command, nil, cmdArgs...)

1-15: Well-structured imports and package declaration.

The imports are well-organized and include all necessary packages for I/O operations, logging, CLI flags, and the MCP-Go client libraries.


17-28: Good CLI flag validation.

The command-line flag handling is implemented correctly with proper validation to ensure exactly one transport mode is specified. The error message and usage display provide clear guidance to users.


30-32: Appropriate context management.

Using a context with timeout is a good practice. The 30-second timeout seems reasonable for this example, and the defer cancel() ensures proper cleanup.


97-100: Simple and effective notification handler.

The notification handler is straightforward and appropriate for an example client.


102-115: Proper client initialization with error handling.

The client initialization includes all necessary parameters and has appropriate error handling.


123-136: Good practice checking capabilities before making requests.

Checking if the server supports tools before attempting to list them is a good practice. The error handling is appropriately non-fatal for this feature.


138-151: Consistent approach for resource listing.

The resource listing follows the same pattern as tool listing, with appropriate capability checking and error handling.


83-91: Good error handling for SSE transport creation and startup.

The code properly checks for errors when creating and starting the SSE transport, with appropriate fatal error logging.


153-154: Proper client cleanup.

The client is correctly closed before program exit, ensuring clean resource management.
