MCP Toolbox Genkit for integrating functionalities of MCP Toolbox into your Agentic apps.

## Overview
The `tbgenkit` package provides a Go interface to the MCP Toolbox service, enabling you to load and invoke tools from your own applications.
## Installation
```bash
go get github.com/googleapis/mcp-toolbox-sdk-go/tbgenkit
```
This SDK is supported on Go version 1.24.4 and higher.
{{< notice note >}}
**Breaking Change Notice**: As of version `0.6.0`, this repository has transitioned to a multi-module structure.
* **For new versions (`v0.6.0`+)**: You must import specific modules (e.g., `go get github.com/googleapis/mcp-toolbox-sdk-go/tbgenkit`).
* **For older versions (`v0.5.1` and below)**: The repository remains a single-module library (`go get github.com/googleapis/mcp-toolbox-sdk-go`).
* Please update your imports and `go.mod` accordingly when upgrading.

## Quickstart
For more information on how to load a `ToolboxTool`, see [the core package](https://github.com/googleapis/mcp-toolbox-sdk-go/tree/main/core)
## Convert Toolbox Tool to a Genkit Tool
```go
"github.com/googleapis/mcp-toolbox-sdk-go/tbgenkit"
func main() {
// Assuming the toolbox tool is loaded
// Make sure to add error checks for debugging
ctx := context.Background()
g, err := genkit.Init(ctx)
genkitTool, err := tbgenkit.ToGenkitTool(toolboxTool, g)
}
```
# Using with Orchestration Frameworks
To see how the MCP Toolbox Go SDK works with orchestration frameworks, check out these end-to-end examples given below.

// Generate llm response using prompts and tools.
