MCP Tools Repository

This repository contains a collection of tools built using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The primary goal is to develop various MCP tools for local usage, leveraging .NET Aspire for service orchestration and C# as the main programming language.

About the Project

The MCP Tools project aims to provide developers with a set of utilities for working with the Model Context Protocol, making it easier to build, debug, and test MCP-enabled applications locally.

Technology Stack

• Programming Language: C# (latest stable version)
• Framework: .NET (latest stable version)
• Orchestration: .NET Aspire
• Development Environment: Visual Studio / VS Code

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• .NET SDK (latest stable version)
• Visual Studio 2022 or VS Code with C# extension

Setup and Running

1. Clone the repository
2. Open the solution in Visual Studio or VS Code
3. Build and run the AppHost project to start all services

dotnet build
cd AppHost
dotnet run

Project Structure

• AppHost: .NET Aspire orchestration project that manages all MCP tools as services
• Each tool in the repository is organized as a separate project with its own responsibility

.NET Aspire Integration

This project leverages .NET Aspire for service orchestration. Services and resources are defined in the AppHost project, making it easy to:

• Discover and communicate between services
• Configure and manage services
• Monitor service health and logs
