         | Yeah, mcp-go is a pretty well known project (i know it from
         | godoc-mcp), but I don't know whether 'better' is the right

         | It looks like it's a case of builder pattern/runtime validated
         | vs codegen/typed. The readme doesn't reference mcp-go by name,
         | but it does lead with 'type-safe, intuitive', which could be a
         | poke at it?

         | What difference does that make? Have you read the code and
         | formulated an actual criticism, or is this just kneejerk "AI
         | bad"?

       | I also wrote a Go library for MCP a few weeks ago, with type
       | safety as one of the project goals:
       | https://github.com/dstotijn/go-mcp. It uses generics to support
       | type-safe RPC methods. Additionally, it leans on JSON schema and
       | its features for property validation.
