## 🚀 What Works Today
### For Claude Code Users
```bash
# Start MCP server for Claude Code
micro mcp serve
# Add to ~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"my-services": {
"command": "micro",
"args": ["mcp", "serve"]
}
}
}
```
### For Library Users
```go
package main
import (
"go-micro.dev/v5"
"go-micro.dev/v5/gateway/mcp"
)
func main() {
service := micro.NewService(micro.Name("myservice"))
service.Init()
// Add MCP gateway (3 lines!)
go mcp.ListenAndServe(":3000", mcp.Options{
Registry: service.Options().Registry,
Auth: authProvider, // Optional: auth.Auth
Scopes: map[string][]string{ // Optional: per-tool scopes
"myservice.Handler.Create": {"write"},
},
RateLimit: &mcp.RateLimitConfig{ // Optional
RequestsPerSecond: 10,
Burst: 20,
},
AuditFunc: func(r mcp.AuditRecord) { // Optional
log.Printf("[audit] %+v", r)
},
})
service.Run()
}
```
### For Service Developers
```go
// Just add Go comments - docs extracted automatically!
// GetUser retrieves a user by ID. Returns full profile with email and preferences.
//
// @example {"id": "user-123"}
func (s *UserService) GetUser(ctx context.Context, req *GetUserRequest, rsp *GetUserResponse) error {
// implementation
}
// Register with scopes
handler := service.Server().NewHandler(
new(UserService),
server.WithEndpointScopes("UserService.Delete", "users:admin"),
)
```

## MCP & AI Agents
Go Micro is designed for an **agent-first** workflow. Every service you build automatically becomes a tool that AI agents can discover and use via the [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/).
- **[🤖 Agent Playground](https://go-micro.dev/docs/mcp.html)** — Chat with your services through an interactive AI agent at `/agent`
- **[🔧 MCP Tools Registry](https://go-micro.dev/docs/mcp.html)** — Browse all services exposed as AI-callable tools at `/api/mcp/tools`
- **[📖 MCP Documentation](https://go-micro.dev/docs/mcp.html)** — Full guide to MCP integration, auth, and scopes
### Services as Tools
Write a normal Go Micro service and it's instantly available as an MCP tool:
```go
// SayHello greets a person by name.
// @example {"name": "Alice"}
func (g *GreeterService) SayHello(ctx context.Context, req *HelloRequest, rsp *HelloResponse) error {
rsp.Message = "Hello " + req.Name
return nil
}
```
Run with `micro run` and the agent playground and MCP tools registry are ready:
```bash
micro run
# Agent Playground: http://localhost:8080/agent
# MCP Tools: http://localhost:8080/api/mcp/tools
```
Use `micro mcp serve` for local AI tools like Claude Code, or connect any MCP-compatible agent to the HTTP endpoint.
See the [MCP guide](https://go-micro.dev/docs/mcp.html) for authentication, scopes, and advanced usage.
## Examples
Check out [/examples](examples/) for runnable code:
- [hello-world](examples/hello-world/) - Basic RPC service
- [web-service](examples/web-service/) - HTTP REST API

- **Web Dashboard**: Browse services, test endpoints, view documentation
- **Hot Service Updates**: Gateway automatically picks up new service registrations

- **Endpoint Scopes**: Restrict which tokens can call which endpoints via `/auth/scopes`
- **MCP Integration**: AI tools at `/api/mcp/tools`, agent playground at `/agent`
### Authentication & Scopes
Both `micro run` and `micro server` use the same `auth.Account` type from the go-micro framework. The gateway stores accounts under `auth/<id>` in the default store and uses JWT tokens with RSA256 signing.
**Scope enforcement** applies to all call paths:
| Path | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `POST /api/{service}/{endpoint}` | HTTP API calls |
| `POST /api/mcp/call` | MCP tool invocations |
| Agent playground | Tool calls made by the AI agent |
Scopes are configured via the web UI at `/auth/scopes`. Each endpoint can require one or more scopes. A token must carry at least one matching scope to call a protected endpoint. The `*` scope on a token bypasses all checks. Endpoints with no scopes set are open to any authenticated token.
See the [Scopes](#scopes) section below for details.
### Development Mode (`micro run`)
```bash
micro run # Auth enabled, default admin/micro
micro run # Auth disabled, all endpoints public
```
- Authentication enabled with default credentials (`admin`/`micro`)
- Web UI requires login
- Scopes available for testing access control
- Ideal for development with realistic auth behavior
- No authentication required
- Direct access to all endpoints
- Ideal for rapid iteration
- Web UI shows all services without login
### Production Mode (`micro server`)

})
```
See [`internal/website/docs/architecture/adr-010-unified-gateway.md`](../../internal/website/docs/architecture/adr-010-unified-gateway.md) for architecture details.
### Scopes
Scopes provide fine-grained access control over which tokens can call which service endpoints. They are managed through the web UI at `/auth/scopes` and enforced on every call through the gateway.
#### How It Works
1. **Define scopes on endpoints** — Visit `/auth/scopes` and set required scopes for each service endpoint (e.g., set `billing` on `payments.Payments.Charge`)
2. **Create tokens with scopes** — Visit `/auth/tokens` and create tokens with matching scopes (e.g., a token with `billing` scope)
3. **Scopes are enforced** — When a token calls an endpoint, the gateway checks that the token has at least one scope matching the endpoint's required scopes
#### Scope Matching Rules
- Scopes are **exact string matches**`billing` on a token matches `billing` on an endpoint
- A token with `*` scope bypasses all scope checks (admin wildcard)
- Endpoints with **no scopes set** are open to any valid token
- An endpoint can require **multiple scopes** — the token needs to match just one
- Scope names are free-form strings — use whatever convention fits your project
#### Common Patterns
| Pattern | Endpoint Scopes | Token Scopes | Result |
|---------|----------------|--------------|--------|
| Protect a service | Set `greeter` on all greeter endpoints (use Bulk Set with `greeter.*`) | Token with `greeter` | Token can call any greeter endpoint |
| Restrict an endpoint | Set `billing` on `payments.Payments.Charge` | Token with `billing` | Only that endpoint is restricted |
| Role-based | Set `admin` on sensitive endpoints | Admin token with `admin`, user token with `user` | Only admin tokens can call sensitive endpoints |
| Full access | Any | Token with `*` | Bypasses all scope checks |
#### Relationship to Framework Auth
The gateway's scope system uses `auth.Account` from the go-micro framework. Scopes on accounts are the same `[]string` field used by the framework's `auth.Rules` and `wrapper/auth` package. The gateway stores scope requirements in the default store under `endpoint-scopes/<service>.<endpoint>` keys and checks them on every HTTP request.
For service-level (RPC) auth within the go-micro mesh, use the `wrapper/auth` package which provides `auth.Rules` with priority-based access control. See the [auth wrapper documentation](../../wrapper/auth/README.md) for details.

## Overview

go-micro provides a simple deployment workflow:
| Stage | Command | Purpose |
|-------|---------|---------|
| **Develop** | `micro run` | Local dev with hot reload and API gateway |
| **Build** | `micro build` | Compile production binaries for any target OS |
| **Deploy** | `micro deploy` | Push binaries to a remote Linux server via SSH + systemd |
| **Dashboard** | `micro server` | Optional production web UI with JWT auth and user management |
1. **Develop locally** with `micro run`
2. **Build binaries** with `micro build`
3. **Deploy to server** with `micro deploy`
Each command has a distinct role — they don't overlap:
- **`micro run`** builds, runs, and watches services locally. It includes a lightweight gateway. Use it for development.
- **`micro build`** compiles binaries without running them. Use it to prepare release artifacts.
- **`micro deploy`** sends binaries to a remote server and manages them with systemd. It builds automatically if needed.
- **`micro server`** provides an authenticated web dashboard for services that are already running. It does NOT build or run services.
On the server, services are managed by systemd - the standard Linux process supervisor.

## Production Dashboard (Optional)
Once services are deployed and managed by systemd, you can optionally run `micro server` on the same machine to get a full web dashboard with authentication:
```bash
# On your server
micro server
```
This gives you:
- **Web Dashboard** at http://your-server:8080 with JWT authentication
- **API Gateway** with authenticated HTTP-to-RPC proxy
- **User Management** — create accounts, generate/revoke API tokens
- **Logs & Status** — view service logs and uptime from the browser
The server discovers services via the registry automatically. Default login: `admin` / `micro`.

# Getting Started
Go Micro provides two ways to get started: the CLI (recommended) or manual setup.
## Development Workflow
Go Micro has a clear lifecycle for development through deployment:
| Stage | Command | Purpose |
|-------|---------|--------|
| **Develop** | `micro run` | Local dev with hot reload and API gateway |
| **Build** | `micro build` | Compile production binaries |
| **Deploy** | `micro deploy` | Push to a remote Linux server via SSH + systemd |
| **Dashboard** | `micro server` | Optional production web UI with auth |
## Quick Start (CLI)
Install the CLI:
```bash
go install go-micro.dev/v5/cmd/micro@v5.16.0
```
> **Note:** Use a specific version instead of `@latest` to avoid module path conflicts. See [releases](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/releases) for the latest version.
Create and run a service:
```bash
micro new helloworld
cd helloworld
micro run
```
Open http://localhost:8080 to see your service and call it from the browser.
The gateway proxies HTTP to RPC:
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/helloworld/Helloworld.Call \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"name": "World"}'
```
`micro run` gives you:
- **Web Dashboard** at `http://localhost:8080`
- **Agent Playground** at `http://localhost:8080/agent` — AI chat with MCP tools
- **API Explorer** at `http://localhost:8080/api` — browse endpoints and schemas
- **API Gateway** at `http://localhost:8080/api/{service}/{method}`
- **MCP Tools** at `http://localhost:8080/api/mcp/tools` — services exposed as AI tools
- **Hot Reload** — auto-rebuild on file changes
- **Health Checks** at `http://localhost:8080/health`
See the [micro run guide](guides/micro-run.md) for configuration, multi-service projects, and more.

No gateway restart needed!
### 6. Endpoint Scopes
Scopes provide fine-grained access control over which tokens can call which endpoints. Both `micro run` and `micro server` support scopes.
**Set up endpoint scopes:**
1. Visit `/auth/scopes` to see all discovered endpoints
2. Set required scopes for endpoints (e.g., `billing` on `payments.Payments.Charge`)
3. Use Bulk Set to apply scopes to all endpoints matching a pattern (e.g., `greeter.*`)
**Create scoped tokens:**
1. Visit `/auth/tokens` and create a token with matching scopes
2. A token with scope `billing` can call endpoints that require `billing`
3. A token with scope `*` bypasses all scope checks
4. Endpoints with no scopes set are open to any authenticated token
**Scopes are enforced on all call paths:**
- Direct API calls (`/api/{service}/{endpoint}`)
- MCP tool calls (`/api/mcp/call`)
- Agent playground tool invocations
The gateway uses `auth.Account` from the go-micro framework. The account's `Scopes` field carries the same `[]string` used by the framework's `wrapper/auth` package for service-level auth.

# Deployment Guide
# Deployment
This is a quick reference for deploying go-micro services. For the full guide, see the [Deployment documentation](../deployment.md).
## Workflow
```
micro run → Develop locally with hot reload
micro build → Compile production binaries
micro deploy → Push to a remote Linux server via SSH + systemd
micro server → Optional: production web dashboard with auth
```
Go produces self-contained binaries. No Docker required.
## Quick Start
```bash
# Build binaries for Linux
# Build binaries
micro build --os linux
# Deploy to server (builds automatically if needed)
micro deploy user@your-server
# Deploy to server
micro deploy --ssh user@host
```
## First-Time Server Setup
## Building
On your server (any Linux with systemd):
### Basic Build
```bash
curl -fsSL https://go-micro.dev/install.sh | sh
sudo micro init --server
micro build
```
This creates `/opt/micro/{bin,data,config}` and a systemd template for managing services.
This builds Go binaries for all services in `micro.mu` (or the current directory) to `./bin/`.
## Deploy
### Cross-Compilation
```bash
micro deploy user@your-server
micro build --os linux # For Linux servers
micro build --os linux --arch arm64 # For ARM64 (e.g., AWS Graviton)
micro build --os darwin # For macOS
micro build --os windows # For Windows (.exe)
```
This builds for linux/amd64, copies binaries to `/opt/micro/bin/`, configures systemd services, and verifies they're running.
### Named Targets
Add deploy targets to `micro.mu`:
```
deploy prod
ssh deploy@prod.example.com
deploy staging
ssh deploy@staging.example.com
```
Then: `micro deploy prod`
## Managing Services
### Custom Output
```bash
micro status --remote user@server # Check status
micro logs --remote user@server # View logs
micro logs myservice --remote user@server -f # Follow logs
micro build --output ./dist
```
## Deploying
### SSH Deploy
```bash
micro deploy --ssh user@host
```
This:
1. Copies `./bin/*` to the remote host (if exists)
2. Or syncs source and builds on remote
3. Restarts services
### Workflow
**Option 1: Build locally, copy binaries**
```bash
micro build --os linux # Build for target OS
micro deploy --ssh user@host # Copy and restart
```
**Option 2: Build on remote**
```bash
micro deploy --ssh user@host # Syncs source, builds there
```
### Remote Structure
```
~/micro/
├── bin/ # Service binaries
│ ├── users
│ ├── posts
│ └── web
├── logs/ # Service logs
│ ├── users.log
│ ├── posts.log
│ └── web.log
└── src/ # Source (if building on remote)
```
### View Logs
```bash
ssh user@host 'tail -f ~/micro/logs/*.log'
```
## Docker (Optional)
If you prefer containers:
```bash
micro build --docker # Build Docker images
micro build --docker --push # Build and push
micro build --compose # Generate docker-compose.yml
micro build --docker # Build images
micro build --docker --push # Build and push to registry
micro build --compose # Generate docker-compose.yml
```
## Full Documentation
Then deploy with docker-compose on your server:
See the [Deployment documentation](../deployment.md) for complete details including SSH setup, environment variables, security best practices, and troubleshooting.
```bash
scp docker-compose.yml user@host:~/
ssh user@host 'docker compose up -d'
```
## Complete Example
```bash
# Development
micro new myapp
cd myapp
micro run # Develop locally
# Build
micro build --os linux
# Deploy
micro deploy --ssh deploy@prod.example.com
# Check
ssh deploy@prod.example.com 'tail -f ~/micro/logs/*.log'
```
## Tips
1. **Cross-compile locally** - Faster than building on remote
2. **Use `--os linux`** - Most servers are Linux
3. **Single binary** - Go's strength, no runtime needed
4. **Logs in ~/micro/logs/** - Easy to tail and rotate
5. **No Docker needed** - Unless you want it

### API Gateway
The gateway converts HTTP requests to RPC calls. All API calls require authentication:
The gateway converts HTTP requests to RPC calls:
```bash
# Log in at http://localhost:8080 with admin/micro to get a session
# Or use a token for programmatic access:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/helloworld/Say.Hello \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
-d '{"name": "World"}'
# Response
{"message": "Hello World"}
```
Create tokens at `/auth/tokens`. The default admin token has `*` scope (full access).
### Agent Playground
The agent playground at `/agent` lets you interact with your services using AI. Your services are automatically exposed as MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools — no configuration needed.
1. Open http://localhost:8080/agent
2. Configure your API key in Agent Settings (supports OpenAI and Anthropic)
3. Chat with the AI agent — it can discover and call your services as tools
The MCP tools API is available at:
- `/api/mcp/tools` — list all services as AI-callable tools
- `/api/mcp/call` — invoke a tool (service endpoint) by name
For a dedicated MCP protocol listener (for external AI clients), use:
```bash
micro run --mcp-address :3000
```
### Hot Reload

### Authentication & Scopes for MCP Tools
MCP tool calls go through the same authentication and scope enforcement as regular API calls. This means you can control which tokens (and therefore which users, services, or AI agents) can invoke which tools.
#### Restricting MCP Tool Access
1. **Set endpoint scopes** — Visit `/auth/scopes` and set required scopes on service endpoints. For example, set `internal` on `billing.Billing.Charge` to restrict it.
2. **Create scoped tokens** — Visit `/auth/tokens` and create tokens with specific scopes:
- A token with scope `internal` can call endpoints requiring `internal`
- A token with scope `*` has unrestricted access (admin)
- A token with no matching scope gets `403 Forbidden`
3. **Use the token** — Pass it in the `Authorization` header for API/MCP calls:
```bash
# List available MCP tools (requires valid token)
curl http://localhost:8080/api/mcp/tools \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"
# Call a specific tool (scope-checked)
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/mcp/call \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
-d '{"tool":"greeter.GreeterService.SayHello","input":{"name":"World"}}'
```
#### Common MCP Token Patterns
| Use Case | Token Scopes | What It Can Do |
|----------|-------------|----------------|
| Internal tooling | `internal` | Call endpoints tagged with `internal` scope |
| Production AI agent | `greeter, users` | Only call greeter and user service endpoints |
| Admin / debugging | `*` | Full access to all tools |
| Read-only agent | `readonly` | Call endpoints tagged with `readonly` scope |
#### Agent Playground
The agent playground at `/agent` uses the logged-in user's session token. Scope checks apply based on the scopes of the user's account. The default `admin` user has `*` scope (full access).

- **API Gateway** — Authenticated HTTP-to-RPC proxy at `/api/{service}/{method}`
- **JWT Authentication** — All API endpoints require a Bearer token or session cookie
- **Token Management** — Generate, view, copy, and revoke JWT tokens
- **User Management** — Create, list, and delete users with bcrypt-hashed passwords
- **Endpoint Scopes** — Restrict which tokens can call which endpoints via `/auth/scopes`
- **MCP Integration** — AI agent playground and MCP tools, with scope enforcement
- **Logs & Status** — View service logs and status (PID, uptime) from the dashboard
## Typical Production Setup
After deploying services with [`micro deploy`](deployment.md):
```bash
# On your server, start the dashboard
micro server
```
Services managed by systemd are discovered via the registry and appear in the dashboard automatically. The server provides the authenticated API and web UI for interacting with them.
Then open http://localhost:8080 in your browser.
## When to use it
- Exploring registered services and endpoints
- Calling endpoints via a web UI or HTTP API
- Local development and debugging
- You have services running in production (via systemd or otherwise) and want a web UI
- You need authenticated API access with JWT tokens
- You want user management and token revocation
- You're running a shared environment where multiple people interact with services
For CLI usage details, see the [CLI documentation on GitHub](https://github.com/micro/go-micro/blob/master/cmd/micro/README.md).
Note: The server is evolving and configuration or features may change. For CLI usage details, see `cmd/micro/cli/README.md` in this repository.
