What is gomcptest?

gomcptest is an experimental platform that allows developers to test and prototype agentic systems using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It provides a custom-built host that mimics the OpenAI API while actually using Google's Gemini models through Vertex AI.

How to use gomcptest?

The system consists of a custom host server and various tools that can be combined to create specialized agents. You can build the tools, configure the environment, and then interact with them through the CLI or API interface.

Use Cases

Ideal for developing and testing specialized AI agents for code scanning, security analysis, automated documentation, data processing, and other developer productivity tools.

Key Features

OpenAI API Compatibility

Supports the OpenAI v1 chat completion format for easy integration with existing tools

Google Gemini Integration

Uses VertexAI API to interact with Google's Gemini models

Streaming Support

Provides real-time streaming responses for better user experience

Function Calling

Allows models to call external functions and incorporate results

MCP Tool Integration

Works with various MCP-compatible tools (Bash, File Editing, Grep, etc.)

Advantages

Flexible testing environment for agentic systems

OpenAI-compatible API makes integration easy

Supports multiple powerful tools out of the box

Streaming responses enable real-time interaction

Limitations

Proof-of-concept quality (not production-ready)

Requires Google Cloud Platform access

Potential security risks from tool execution

Limited documentation as an experimental project

🚀 gomcptest: A Proof-of-Concept Project for Implementing MCP with Custom Host

This project is a proof-of-concept (POC) demonstrating how to implement the Model Context Protocol (MCP) through a custom-built host and interact with an agentized system. The code is written from scratch to provide a clear understanding of the underlying mechanisms.

View the auto-generated documentation on the experimental website: https://owulveryck.github.io/gomcptest/

🚀 Quick Start

Goals

The primary goal of this project is to achieve security, maintainability, and efficiency of the codebase through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). For example:

The dispatch_agent can be specialized to scan for security vulnerabilities in the codebase.
A code review agent can be created to analyze potential issues in pull requests.
A data analysis agent can be built to process and visualize complex datasets.
An auto-documentation agent can be developed to generate comprehensive documentation based on the code.

These specialized agents can be easily tested and iterated upon using the tools provided in this repository.

Prerequisites

Go language version >= 1.21
Access to the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Vertex AI API
github.com/mark3labs/mcp-go

The tool uses the default GCP login credentials configured with gcloud auth login.

Project Structure

Architecture Diagram

host/openaiserver: Implements a custom host that mimics the OpenAI API, using Google Gemini and function calls. This is the core of the POC.
tools: Contains multiple MCP-compatible tools that can interact with the host:
- dispatch-agent: Handles the functionality of the agentized system.
- transformer: Implements a text generation model similar to GPT-3.
- image-generator: Generates images using the Imagen series of models.

Features

Host	Endpoint	Description
OpenAI	`api/v1/chat/completions`	Mimics the OpenAI API, supporting text-based interactive chat and function calls
GPT-3	`api/v1/gpt-3`	Provides an interface compatible with GPT-3
Image Generator	`api/v1/image-generator`	Generates images using the Imagen series of models

Building the Tools

To build the project, run the following commands:

go mod tidy
make build
