# Adding an AI Provider to Go Micro
|
|
|
|
This guide walks you through implementing a new AI model provider for
|
|
go-micro's `ai` package. After following these steps your provider will
|
|
be available via `ai.New("yourprovider")` and automatically usable by the
|
|
MCP gateway, the agent playground, and any service that calls
|
|
`service.Model()`.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
The `ai` package uses the same plugin pattern as the rest of go-micro:
|
|
define an interface, register an implementation, and let users swap
|
|
providers with a single import. All providers live under `ai/<name>/`.
|
|
|
|
**Files you will create:**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ai/
|
|
└── yourprovider/
|
|
├── yourprovider.go # Provider implementation
|
|
└── yourprovider_test.go # Unit tests
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Discover registered provider capabilities
|
|
|
|
Go Micro exposes the provider interfaces registered in the current build, so
|
|
runtime tooling and docs can report what is actually available after blank
|
|
imports are linked in:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
for _, row := range ai.CapabilityRows() {
|
|
fmt.Printf("%s: chat=%t image=%t video=%t stream=%t tool_stream=%t\n", row.Provider, row.Model, row.Image, row.Video, row.Stream, row.ToolStream)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The built-in providers currently register these capability interfaces:
|
|
|
|
| Provider | Chat/text (`ai.Model`) | Image (`ai.ImageModel`) | Video (`ai.VideoModel`) | Streaming (`ai.Stream`) | Tool streaming |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| `anthropic` | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes |
|
|
| `atlascloud` | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
|
|
| `gemini` | Yes | No | No | Yes | No |
|
|
| `groq` | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes |
|
|
| `minimax` | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes |
|
|
| `mistral` | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes |
|
|
| `ollama` | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes |
|
|
| `openai` | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | Yes |
|
|
| `together` | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes |
|
|
|
|
## Step 1: Implement the `ai.Model` Interface
|
|
|
|
Every provider must satisfy `ai.Model`:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
type Model interface {
|
|
Init(...Option) error
|
|
Options() Options
|
|
Generate(ctx context.Context, req *Request, opts ...GenerateOption) (*Response, error)
|
|
Stream(ctx context.Context, req *Request, opts ...GenerateOption) (Stream, error)
|
|
String() string
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Skeleton
|
|
|
|
Create `ai/yourprovider/yourprovider.go`:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
package yourprovider
|
|
|
|
import (
|
|
"bytes"
|
|
"context"
|
|
"encoding/json"
|
|
"fmt"
|
|
"io"
|
|
"net/http"
|
|
"strings"
|
|
|
|
"go-micro.dev/v6/ai"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
func init() {
|
|
ai.Register("yourprovider", func(opts ...ai.Option) ai.Model {
|
|
return NewProvider(opts...)
|
|
})
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
type Provider struct {
|
|
opts ai.Options
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func NewProvider(opts ...ai.Option) *Provider {
|
|
options := ai.NewOptions(opts...)
|
|
if options.Model == "" {
|
|
options.Model = "your-default-model"
|
|
}
|
|
if options.BaseURL == "" {
|
|
options.BaseURL = "https://api.yourprovider.com"
|
|
}
|
|
return &Provider{opts: options}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func (p *Provider) Init(opts ...ai.Option) error {
|
|
for _, o := range opts {
|
|
o(&p.opts)
|
|
}
|
|
return nil
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func (p *Provider) Options() ai.Options { return p.opts }
|
|
func (p *Provider) String() string { return "yourprovider" }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `Generate`
|
|
|
|
`Generate` is the core method. It must:
|
|
|
|
1. Convert `req.Tools` into the provider's native tool format.
|
|
2. Send the request to the provider API.
|
|
3. Parse the response into `ai.Response` (text in `Reply`, tool calls in
|
|
`ToolCalls`).
|
|
4. If `p.opts.ToolHandler` is set **and** there are tool calls, execute
|
|
each tool and make a follow-up API call to get the final answer in
|
|
`Answer`.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
func (p *Provider) Generate(ctx context.Context, req *ai.Request, opts ...ai.GenerateOption) (*ai.Response, error) {
|
|
// 1. Build provider-specific tool definitions
|
|
var tools []map[string]any
|
|
for _, t := range req.Tools {
|
|
tools = append(tools, map[string]any{
|
|
// Map to your provider's schema
|
|
"name": t.Name,
|
|
"description": t.Description,
|
|
"parameters": map[string]any{
|
|
"type": "object",
|
|
"properties": t.Properties,
|
|
},
|
|
})
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// 2. Build the API request body
|
|
apiReq := map[string]any{
|
|
"model": p.opts.Model,
|
|
"messages": []map[string]any{
|
|
{"role": "system", "content": req.SystemPrompt},
|
|
{"role": "user", "content": req.Prompt},
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
if len(tools) > 0 {
|
|
apiReq["tools"] = tools
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// 3. Call the API
|
|
resp, rawMsg, err := p.callAPI(ctx, apiReq)
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
return nil, err
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// 4. No tool calls → return immediately
|
|
if len(resp.ToolCalls) == 0 {
|
|
return resp, nil
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// 5. Execute tools and follow up
|
|
if p.opts.ToolHandler != nil {
|
|
// ... build follow-up messages with tool results ...
|
|
followUpResp, _, err := p.callAPI(ctx, followUpReq)
|
|
if err == nil && followUpResp.Reply != "" {
|
|
resp.Answer = followUpResp.Reply
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
return resp, nil
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `Stream`
|
|
|
|
If streaming is not supported yet, return a clear error:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
func (p *Provider) Stream(ctx context.Context, req *ai.Request, opts ...ai.GenerateOption) (ai.Stream, error) {
|
|
return nil, fmt.Errorf("streaming not yet implemented for yourprovider")
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### API Helper
|
|
|
|
Use `net/http` directly — no external SDK needed:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
func (p *Provider) callAPI(ctx context.Context, req map[string]any) (*ai.Response, map[string]any, error) {
|
|
reqBody, err := json.Marshal(req)
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
return nil, nil, fmt.Errorf("failed to marshal request: %w", err)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
apiURL := strings.TrimRight(p.opts.BaseURL, "/") + "/v1/chat/completions"
|
|
httpReq, err := http.NewRequestWithContext(ctx, "POST", apiURL, bytes.NewReader(reqBody))
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
return nil, nil, fmt.Errorf("failed to create request: %w", err)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
httpReq.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
|
|
httpReq.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer "+p.opts.APIKey)
|
|
|
|
httpResp, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(httpReq)
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
return nil, nil, fmt.Errorf("API request failed: %w", err)
|
|
}
|
|
defer httpResp.Body.Close()
|
|
|
|
respBody, _ := io.ReadAll(httpResp.Body)
|
|
if httpResp.StatusCode != 200 {
|
|
return nil, nil, fmt.Errorf("API error (%s): %s", httpResp.Status, string(respBody))
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Parse your provider's response format into ai.Response
|
|
// ...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Step 2: Write Tests
|
|
|
|
Create `ai/yourprovider/yourprovider_test.go`. At minimum test:
|
|
|
|
- **`String()`** returns the correct name.
|
|
- **`Init()`** applies options.
|
|
- **Default values** are set when no options are provided.
|
|
- **`Generate()` without API key** returns an error.
|
|
- **`Stream()` not implemented** returns an error.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
package yourprovider
|
|
|
|
import (
|
|
"context"
|
|
"testing"
|
|
|
|
"go-micro.dev/v6/ai"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
func TestProvider_String(t *testing.T) {
|
|
p := NewProvider()
|
|
if p.String() != "yourprovider" {
|
|
t.Errorf("got %q, want %q", p.String(), "yourprovider")
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func TestProvider_Defaults(t *testing.T) {
|
|
p := NewProvider()
|
|
opts := p.Options()
|
|
if opts.Model != "your-default-model" {
|
|
t.Errorf("default model = %q, want %q", opts.Model, "your-default-model")
|
|
}
|
|
if opts.BaseURL != "https://api.yourprovider.com" {
|
|
t.Errorf("default base URL = %q", opts.BaseURL)
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func TestProvider_Init(t *testing.T) {
|
|
p := NewProvider()
|
|
if err := p.Init(ai.WithModel("custom"), ai.WithAPIKey("key")); err != nil {
|
|
t.Fatalf("Init: %v", err)
|
|
}
|
|
if p.Options().Model != "custom" {
|
|
t.Errorf("model not updated")
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func TestProvider_Generate_NoAPIKey(t *testing.T) {
|
|
p := NewProvider()
|
|
_, err := p.Generate(context.Background(), &ai.Request{Prompt: "hi"})
|
|
if err == nil {
|
|
t.Error("expected error without API key")
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func TestProvider_Stream_NotImplemented(t *testing.T) {
|
|
p := NewProvider()
|
|
_, err := p.Stream(context.Background(), &ai.Request{Prompt: "hi"})
|
|
if err == nil {
|
|
t.Error("expected error for unimplemented streaming")
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
go test ./ai/yourprovider/...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Step 3: Register the Provider
|
|
|
|
The `init()` function in your package calls `ai.Register`. Users enable
|
|
your provider with a blank import:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
import _ "go-micro.dev/v6/ai/yourprovider"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then use it:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
m := ai.New("yourprovider",
|
|
ai.WithAPIKey("your-api-key"),
|
|
ai.WithModel("your-model-name"),
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
resp, err := m.Generate(ctx, &ai.Request{
|
|
Prompt: "Hello!",
|
|
SystemPrompt: "You are a helpful assistant",
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Step 4: Update the README
|
|
|
|
Add your provider to the **Supported AI Providers** section in the
|
|
project README.md. Follow the existing format:
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
### YourProvider
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
m := ai.New("yourprovider",
|
|
ai.WithAPIKey("your-key"),
|
|
ai.WithModel("your-default-model"),
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Default model: `your-default-model`
|
|
Default base URL: `https://api.yourprovider.com`
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Also add an entry in `ai/README.md` under "Supported Providers".
|
|
|
|
## Checklist
|
|
|
|
Before submitting your PR:
|
|
|
|
- [ ] `ai/yourprovider/yourprovider.go` implements `ai.Model`
|
|
- [ ] `init()` calls `ai.Register("yourprovider", ...)`
|
|
- [ ] `Generate()` handles tool calls via `ToolHandler` when set
|
|
- [ ] `ai/yourprovider/yourprovider_test.go` covers basics
|
|
- [ ] `go test ./ai/yourprovider/...` passes
|
|
- [ ] `go vet ./ai/yourprovider/...` is clean
|
|
- [ ] Provider added to `ai/README.md` under "Supported Providers"
|
|
- [ ] Provider added to project README.md under "Supported AI Providers"
|
|
- [ ] No new dependencies beyond `go-micro.dev/v6/ai` and stdlib (use
|
|
`net/http` directly rather than an SDK)
|
|
|
|
## Design Notes
|
|
|
|
**Why `net/http` instead of an SDK?** Keeping providers dependency-free
|
|
means `go get go-micro.dev/v6` never pulls in heavy SDK trees. All
|
|
existing providers (Anthropic, OpenAI) use raw HTTP for the same reason.
|
|
|
|
**OpenAI-compatible APIs.** Many providers (Together, Groq, Fireworks,
|
|
Atlas Cloud, etc.) expose an OpenAI-compatible `/v1/chat/completions`
|
|
endpoint. In that case, users can often just use the `openai` provider
|
|
with `ai.WithBaseURL("https://api.yourprovider.com")`. A dedicated
|
|
provider package is only needed when the API differs or you want to set
|
|
provider-specific defaults.
|
|
|
|
**Tool call loop.** The current contract is one round of tool execution:
|
|
`Generate` calls tools via `ToolHandler`, feeds results back, and
|
|
returns the final answer. Multi-turn agentic loops are handled at a
|
|
higher level (e.g. the MCP gateway).
|
|
