What is This?

The .NET MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI assistants to the .NET SDK using the Model Context Protocol. Think of it as giving your AI assistant a direct line to dotnet commands, but with intelligence and context.

Important: This package is designed exclusively as an MCP server for AI assistants. It is not intended for use as a library or for programmatic consumption in other .NET applications. The only supported use case is running it as an MCP server via dnx or dotnet run.

• "Add the Serilog package and configure structured logging"
• "Update all my NuGet packages to the latest versions"

🧠 Smarter AI Assistance

Your AI assistant gets direct access to:

• All installed .NET templates and their parameters
