As an AI skeptic - ok not really - but as a tentative AI adopter I've slowly made my way through the tools to try to understand their value starting with RAG and other forms, all the way through to agents. And all the while I couldn't really figure out how to make it work for my framework Go Micro. A library that's been around since 2015, rode the wave of containers, kubernetes, grpc, etc and now looking at how to be relevant in a new world. I think somewhere I always knew MCP integration would make sense. and also that services are the basis for all skills or tools agents have when you go up a higher level. Essentially they need to connect to APIs. Most people are probably running some sort of thing like this internally. So I thought I'd just ask Claude Code to write a small gateway package to integrate that, where it turns anything in the service registry into a tool automatically. And then I told it to blog about it. It's a new world.
I'd be interested to hear how people are integrating MCP/Agents with their existing services, grpc services, apis, etc.
