What this skill tells the agent
Generate C# MCP Server
Create a complete Model Context Protocol (MCP) server in C# with the following specifications:
Requirements
- Project Structure: Create a new C# console application with proper directory structure
- NuGet Packages: Include ModelContextProtocol (prerelease) and Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting
- Logging Configuration: Configure all logs to stderr to avoid interfering with stdio transport
- Server Setup: Use the Host builder pattern with proper DI configuration
- Tools: Create at least one useful tool with proper attributes and descriptions
- Error Handling: Include proper error handling and validation
Implementation Details
Basic Project Setup
- Use .NET 8.0 or later
- Create a console application
- Add necessary NuGet packages with --prerelease flag
- Configure logging to stderr
Server Configuration
- Use
Host.CreateApplicationBuilderfor DI and lifecycle management - Configure
AddMcpServer()with stdio transport - Use
WithToolsFromAssembly()for automatic tool discovery - Ensure the server runs with
RunAsync()
Tool Implementation
- Use
[McpServerToolType]attribute on tool classes - Use
[McpServerTool]attribute on tool methods - Add
[Description]attributes to tools and parameters - Support async operations where appropriate
- Include proper parameter validation
Code Quality
- Follow C# naming conventions
- Include XML documentation comments
- Use nullable reference types
- Implement proper error handling with McpProtocolException
- Use structured logging for debugging
Example Tool Types to Consider
- File operations (read, write, search)
- Data processing (transform, validate, analyze)
- External API integrations (HTTP requests)
- System operations (execute commands, check status)
- Database operations (query, update)
Testing Guidance
- Explain how to run the server
- Provide example commands to test with MCP clients
- Include troubleshooting tips
Generate a complete, production-ready MCP server with comprehensive documentation and error handling.
