• Share Code: Generate shareable URLs for Go code snippets

• Run and Share: Execute code and get both results and share URL in one operation

🏃‍♂️ Usage

The server can be used with any MCP-compatible client. The server provides five tools:

1. run_go_code - Execute Go code and return results

2. share_go_code - Share Go code and get a URL

3. run_and_share_go_code - Execute code and get both results and share URL

4. read_go_playground_url - Read Go code from an existing Go Playground URL

5. execute_go_playground_url - Execute Go code from an existing Go Playground URL

Add this to your MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "go-playground": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "go-playground-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Examples

Reading code from a Go Playground URL

// Read code from https://go.dev/play/xyz123
const result = await mcpClient.callTool("read_go_playground_url", {
  url: "https://go.dev/play/xyz123"
});

Executing code from a Go Playground URL

// Execute code from https://go.dev/play/xyz123
const result = await mcpClient.callTool("execute_go_playground_url", {
  url: "https://go.dev/play/xyz123",
  withVet: true
});

The new URL-based tools support these Go Playground URL formats:

• https://go.dev/play/<snippet-id>
