Go MCP Server Project Generator

Generate a complete, production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) server project in Go.

Project Requirements

You will create a Go MCP server with:

1. **Project Structure**: Proper Go module layout 2. **Dependencies**: Official MCP SDK and necessary packages 3. **Server Setup**: Configured MCP server with transports 4. **Tools**: At least 2-3 useful tools with typed inputs/outputs 5. **Error Handling**: Proper error handling and context usage 6. **Documentation**: README with setup and usage instructions 7. **Testing**: Basic test structure
