# Platform Example: AI Agents Meet Real Microservices
|
|
|
|
This example mirrors the [micro/blog](https://github.com/micro/blog) platform — a real microblogging application built on Go Micro. It demonstrates how existing microservices become AI-accessible through MCP with **zero changes to business logic**.
|
|
|
|
## Services
|
|
|
|
| Service | Endpoints | Description |
|
|
|---------|-----------|-------------|
|
|
| **Users** | Signup, Login, GetProfile, UpdateStatus, List | Account management and authentication |
|
|
| **Posts** | Create, Read, Update, Delete, List, TagPost, UntagPost, ListTags | Blog posts with markdown and tagging |
|
|
| **Comments** | Create, List, Delete | Threaded comments on posts |
|
|
| **Mail** | Send, Read | Internal messaging between users |
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
go run .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
MCP tools available at: http://localhost:3001/mcp/tools
|
|
|
|
## Agent Scenarios
|
|
|
|
These are realistic multi-step workflows an AI agent can complete:
|
|
|
|
### 1. New User Onboarding
|
|
```
|
|
"Sign up a new user called carol, then write a welcome post introducing herself"
|
|
```
|
|
The agent will: call Signup → use the returned user ID → call Posts.Create
|
|
|
|
### 2. Content Creation
|
|
```
|
|
"Log in as alice and write a blog post about Go concurrency patterns, then tag it with 'golang' and 'concurrency'"
|
|
```
|
|
The agent will: call Login → call Posts.Create → call TagPost twice
|
|
|
|
### 3. Social Interaction
|
|
```
|
|
"List all posts, find the welcome post, and comment on it as bob saying 'Great to be here!'"
|
|
```
|
|
The agent will: call Posts.List → pick the right post → call Comments.Create
|
|
|
|
### 4. Cross-Service Workflow
|
|
```
|
|
"Send a mail from alice to bob welcoming him, then check bob's inbox to confirm delivery"
|
|
```
|
|
The agent will: call Mail.Send → call Mail.Read to verify
|
|
|
|
### 5. Platform Overview
|
|
```
|
|
"Show me all users, all posts, and all tags currently in use"
|
|
```
|
|
The agent will: call Users.List, Posts.List, and ListTags (potentially in parallel)
|
|
|
|
## How It Works
|
|
|
|
The key insight: **you don't need to write any agent-specific code**. The MCP gateway discovers services from the registry, extracts tool schemas from Go types, and generates descriptions from doc comments.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
service := micro.NewService("platform",
|
|
micro.Address(":9090"),
|
|
mcp.WithMCP(":3001"), // This one line makes everything AI-accessible
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
service.Handle(&Users{})
|
|
service.Handle(&Posts{})
|
|
service.Handle(&Comments{})
|
|
service.Handle(&Mail{})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Each handler method becomes an MCP tool. The `@example` tags in doc comments give agents sample inputs to learn from.

## Connecting to Claude Code
|
|
|
|
Add to your Claude Code MCP config:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"mcpServers": {
|
|
"platform": {
|
|
"command": "curl",
|
|
"args": ["-s", "http://localhost:3001/mcp/tools"]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or use stdio transport:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
micro mcp serve --registry mdns
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Architecture

Agent (Claude, GPT, etc.)

MCP Gateway (:3001) ← Discovers services, generates tools
|

Go Micro RPC (:9090) ← Standard service mesh

|
|
├── UserService ← Signup, Login, Profile
|
|
├── PostService ← CRUD + Tags
|
|
├── CommentService ← Threaded comments
|
|
└── MailService ← Internal messaging
|
|
```
|

|
## Relation to micro/blog
|
|
|
|
This example is a simplified, self-contained version of [micro/blog](https://github.com/micro/blog). The real platform splits each service into its own binary with protobuf definitions. This example uses Go structs directly for simplicity, but the MCP integration works identically either way — the gateway discovers services from the registry regardless of how they're implemented.
