MCP Launcher (Go)

This folder contains run-mcps.go, a cross-platform Go launcher that starts shared MCP servers for Tavily, Context7, Playwright, GitHub, and the test-registrar/test-verifier pair via a stdio→HTTP proxy.

Prereqs

• pnpm on PATH (used to run MCPs and mcp-proxy)
• GitHub MCP binary (github-mcp-server or github-mcp-server.exe) on PATH or in ~/bin

Build the binary

go build -o run-mcps ./run-mcps.go

Note: run-mcps locates the test-registrar/test-verifier folders relative to the binary (falling back to the current working directory). Keep run-mcps in the repo root or run it from the repo root.

On Windows, you may want run-mcps.exe:

go build -o run-mcps.exe .\run-mcps.go

git clone https://github.com/github/github-mcp-server
cd github-mcp-server\cmd\github-mcp-server
go build -o $env:USERPROFILE\bin\github-mcp-server.exe

Example: pass env vars from host

Windows (PowerShell):

$env:TAVILY_API_KEY="tvly-..."
# Optional if your Context7 setup requires a key
$env:CONTEXT7_API_KEY="ctx7-..."
$env:GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN="ghp-..."
.\run-mcps.exe

Windows (cmd.exe):

set TAVILY_API_KEY=tvly-...
REM Optional if your Context7 setup requires a key
set CONTEXT7_API_KEY=ctx7-...
set GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=ghp-...
run-mcps.exe

macOS/Linux (bash/zsh):

export TAVILY_API_KEY="tvly-..."
# Optional if your Context7 setup requires a key
export CONTEXT7_API_KEY="ctx7-..."
export GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN="ghp-..."
./run-mcps

Optional: pass via flags

./run-mcps -tavily "tvly-..." -context7 "ctx7-..." -github "ghp-..."
