# Build authenticated MCP servers from Python files with Golf
Scaffold, build, and run MCP servers from a predictable Python project layout with tools, prompts, resources, auth, and OpenTelemetry hooks.
## Prerequisites
Python 3.10+, pip, Golf CLI, MCP-compatible client
## Installation
Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- pip install golf-mcp
Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- 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 conventi...
- Ensure you have Python (3.10+ recommended) installed. Then, install Golf using pip:
- **tools/**, **resources/**, **prompts/**: Contain your Python files, each defining a single component. These directories can also contain nested subdirectories to further organize your components (e.g., tools/payments...
Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- Get your Golf project up and running in a few simple steps:
- Use the Golf CLI to scaffold a new project:
- golf init your-project-name
