Introduction

As enterprises move from experimentation to production with the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the challenge is no longer “can we run it?” but “can we run it securely?” The golfMCP framework was built to make this transition effortless. It abstracts away schema wiring, authentication, and tracing, allowing you to ship compliant, secure MCP servers in days — not months

Why golfMCP?

Traditional MCP servers require repetitive setup:

• Defining schema decorators manually

• Implementing token validation logic per endpoint

• Handling observability and rate limiting on your own

golfMCP eliminates this boilerplate by generating fully compliant, observable Python endpoints automatically.

Core Benefits

• No decorators or schema wiring — each file becomes an MCP tool.

• Built-in authentication via API keys or OAuth.

• OpenTelemetry-based tracing for full visibility.

• Production-ready — deploy directly behind the Golf Gateway.

Project Setup

You can install the framework directly from PyPI:

pip install golfmcp

Initialize a new MCP project:

golfmcp init secure-mcp-server
cd secure-mcp-server

The command sets up:

├── main.py
├── tools/
│   ├── list_issues.py
│   ├── create_comment.py
│   └── resolve_issue.py
└── config.yaml
