Building an MCP Server in Go: Connecting AI models to the Real World

Speaker: Christian Dopico

Next meetup is here and we're diving into one of the hottest topics in AI tooling right now.

Building an MCP Server in Go: Connecting AI Models to the Real World

Every AI integration used to mean custom glue code. MCP (Model Context Protocol) changes that, it’s the emerging standard that lets AI models talk to databases, APIs, files, and services in a structured, predictable way.

In this talk we will:

• Break down the MCP architecture and its three core primitives
• Build an MCP server from scratch using the official Go SDK
• Explain why Go is a natural fit for this protocol
• Cover what it takes to run one in production

Whether you’ve been following the AI tooling space or just curious about where Go fits in, this one is for you.

See you there!
