Documentation for the Go Micro framework.
Overview
Go Micro is a framework for building services and agents in Go. Write services — they register, discover each other, and communicate via RPC and events. Every endpoint is automatically an AI-callable tool via MCP, so AI agents can use your services the moment they run. Build agents to orchestrate them, and workflows to trigger them on events — all from the same primitives.
It’s built on a pluggable architecture of Go interfaces: service discovery, client/server RPC, pub/sub, plus auth, caching, and storage. Sane defaults out of the box, everything swappable.
