Built on Go Micro

Mu is structured around real go-micro services, meaning every feature you use—news, mail, search, weather, and more—functions as an independent service. This modular design allows for seamless scalability and the ability for developers to interact with these services over standard protocols like REST and MCP. The assistant you engage with is, fundamentally, a go-micro agent that connects these capabilities, providing a consistent and reliable experience.

What makes this architecture significant is its emphasis on ownership and self-hosting. Since Mu comes as a single, self-hostable Go binary, users can choose to run the whole stack on their own hardware. This gives individuals complete control over their data and service instances while ensuring they can still access everything Mu has to offer without relying on external dependencies.

This approach prioritizes transparency and flexibility. Each service can be independently managed and configured, allowing for a tailored experience. If you’re inclined to self-host, you won’t face complex setups or installations; it’s all designed to be contained within that single binary. For those who prefer a hosted option, the same microservices architecture is leveraged to deliver consistency and quality.

Ultimately, Mu’s foundation on go-micro services fosters a reliable and accessible internet toolkit, free from the distractions of ads, tracking, and algorithmic feeds. You pay for the tools you use, and you can interact with those tools on your own terms, enhancing your ownership of the overall experience.
