About

[](https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/tools)

This repository provides the golang.org/x/tools module, comprising various tools and packages mostly for static analysis of Go programs, some of which are listed below. Use the "Go reference" link above for more information about any package.

It also contains the golang.org/x/tools/gopls module, whose root package is a language-server protocol (LSP) server for Go. An LSP server analyses the source code of a project and responds to requests from a wide range of editors such as VSCode and Vim, allowing them to support IDE-like functionality.

cmd/goimports formats a Go program like go fmt and additionally

inserts import statements for any packages required by the file after it is edited.

cmd/callgraph prints the call graph of a Go program.
cmd/digraph is a utility for manipulating directed graphs in textual notation.
cmd/stringer generates declarations (including a String method) for "enum" types.
cmd/toolstash is a utility to simplify working with multiple versions of the Go toolchain.

Works with Claude (desktop and mobile), Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and any MCP-compatible AI app.
