Updated: March 4, 2026
Go Micro's MCP integration is 3-4 months ahead of schedule, with Q1 2026 complete, most Q2 2026 features delivered, and core Q3 security features already in production. The ai package now provides a unified AI provider interface (Anthropic + OpenAI) powering the agent playground.

Go Micro is production-ready for AI agent integration TODAY.
The Q1 2026 foundation is solid, with advanced Q2/Q3 features already delivered. The immediate focus should be on documentation and developer guides to drive adoption, followed by multi-protocol support and additional agent SDKs to broaden the ecosystem.
Next focus: Documentation guides, interactive playground polish, and standalone gateway binary.
