## Overview

Golf is a **framework** designed to streamline the creation of MCP server applications. It allows developers to define server's capabilities—*tools*, *prompts*, and *resources*—as simple Python files within a conventional directory structure. Golf then automatically discovers, parses, and compiles these components into a runnable MCP server, minimizing boilerplate and accelerating development.

Golf targets FastMCP 4.0.0 and the current MCP 2026-07-28 protocol.
FastMCP also negotiates legacy MCP clients through its compatibility mode.

With Golf v0.2.0, you get **enterprise-grade authentication** (JWT, OAuth Server, development tokens), **built-in utilities** for LLM interactions, and **automatic telemetry** integration. Focus on implementing your agent's logic while Golf handles authentication, monitoring, and server infrastructure.
