Go Quickstart (Local)	docs	4	How to get started running Toolbox locally with [Go](https://github.com/googleapis/mcp-toolbox-sdk-go), PostgreSQL, and orchestration frameworks such as [LangChain Go](https://tmc.github.io/langchaingo/docs/), [GenkitGo](https://genkit.dev/go/docs/get-started-go/), [Go GenAI](https://github.com/googleapis/go-genai) and [OpenAI Go](https://github.com/openai/openai-go).

Before you begin

This guide assumes you have already done the following:

1. Installed Go (v1.24.2 or higher).
2. Installed PostgreSQL 16+ and the psql client.

Cloud Setup (Optional)

{{< regionInclude "quickstart/shared/cloud_setup.md" "cloud_setup" >}}

Step 1: Set up your database

{{< regionInclude "quickstart/shared/database_setup.md" "database_setup" >}}

Step 2: Install and configure Toolbox

{{< regionInclude "quickstart/shared/configure_toolbox.md" "configure_toolbox" >}}

Step 3: Connect your agent to Toolbox

In this section, we will write and run an agent that will load the Tools from Toolbox.

1. Initialize a go module:

   go mod init main
   

2. In a new terminal, install the SDK.

   go get github.com/googleapis/mcp-toolbox-sdk-go
   

3. Create a new file named hotelagent.go and copy the following code to create an agent:

   {{< tabpane persist=header >}} {{< tab header="LangChain Go" lang="go" >}}

{{< include "quickstart/go/langchain/quickstart.go" >}}

{{< /tab >}}

{{< tab header="Genkit Go" lang="go" >}}

{{< include "quickstart/go/genkit/quickstart.go" >}}

{{< /tab >}}

{{< tab header="Go GenAI" lang="go" >}}

{{< include "quickstart/go/genAI/quickstart.go" >}}

{{< /tab >}}

{{< tab header="OpenAI Go" lang="go" >}}

{{< include "quickstart/go/openAI/quickstart.go" >}}

{{< /tab >}} {{< /tabpane >}}

1. Ensure all dependencies are installed:

   go mod tidy
   

2. Run your agent, and observe the results:

   go run hotelagent.go
