From 5d49ea349ebd2cc531d7d8e5f6cb0de55d9305cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sat, 30 May 2026 14:29:29 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf: build JSON-RPC responses with typed structs instead of maps Every request handler built its result payload from ad-hoc map[string]any literals. Replace them with typed structs (initializeResult, toolCallResult, toolsListResult, resourcesReadResult, etc.). Encoding a struct avoids per-request map allocation and the runtime key-sorting that encoding/json performs for maps, while producing byte-for-byte equivalent JSON. Also adds benchmarks for the initialize, tools/list and tools/call paths. Measured improvement (median of repeated runs, same machine): initialize ~7.4us -> ~4.0us 48 -> 18 allocs 4553 -> 2824 B tools/call ~7.7us -> ~6.3us 48 -> 35 allocs 4464 -> 3584 B tools/list flat ns 72 -> 67 allocs 5766 -> 5350 B (tools/list time is dominated by encoding the Tool schemas themselves, so the wrapper change shows mainly as fewer allocations.) https://claude.ai/code/session_015dqx2yBNNyyfgznEV36bHe --- gomcp/bench_test.go | 75 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ gomcp/server.go | 84 ++++++++++++++++++--------------------------- gomcp/types.go | 76 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 185 insertions(+), 50 deletions(-) create mode 100644 gomcp/bench_test.go diff --git a/gomcp/bench_test.go b/gomcp/bench_test.go new file mode 100644 index 0000000..17f7f53 --- /dev/null +++ b/gomcp/bench_test.go @@ -0,0 +1,75 @@ +package gomcp + +import ( + "context" + "io" + "strings" + "testing" +) + +// newInitializedServer returns a server marked as initialized so benchmarks can +// exercise post-handshake request handling directly. +func newInitializedServer() *Server { + srv := NewServer("bench-server", "1.0.0") + srv.initialized = true + return srv +} + +// runOnce feeds a single request followed by EOF through the server, discarding +// the encoded output.
