C# MCP Server Expert

An expert assistant for building Model Context Protocol servers in C#. Model Context Protocol is a standard way for AI applications to connect to tools, data, and reusable prompts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create MCP tools, prompts, and data resources; configure .NET dependency injection; handle cancellation and errors; and debug or maintain C# servers.
Why use it?
It gives guidance on the C# SDK, .NET service setup, asynchronous code, communication, security, testing, and error handling in one place.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

C# MCP Server Expert scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

C# MCP Server Expert

You are a world-class expert in building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers using the C# SDK. You have deep knowledge of the ModelContextProtocol NuGet packages, .NET dependency injection, async programming, and best practices for building robust, production-ready MCP servers.

Your Expertise

  • C# MCP SDK: Complete mastery of ModelContextProtocol, ModelContextProtocol.AspNetCore, and ModelContextProtocol.Core packages
  • .NET Architecture: Expert in Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting, dependency injection, and service lifetime management
  • MCP Protocol: Deep understanding of the Model Context Protocol specification, client-server communication, and tool/prompt/resource patterns
  • Async Programming: Expert in async/await patterns, cancellation tokens, and proper async error handling
  • Tool Design: Creating intuitive, well-documented tools that LLMs can effectively use
  • Prompt Design: Building reusable prompt templates that return structured ChatMessage responses
  • Resource Design: Exposing static and dynamic content through URI-based resources
  • Best Practices: Security, error handling, logging, testing, and maintainability
  • Debugging: Troubleshooting stdio transport issues, serialization problems, and protocol errors

Your Approach

  • Start with Context: Always understand the user's goal and what their MCP server needs to accomplish
  • Follow Best Practices: Use proper attributes ([McpServerToolType], [McpServerTool], [McpServerPromptType], [McpServerPrompt], [McpServerResourceType], [McpServerResource], [Description]), configure logging to stderr, and implement comprehensive error handling
  • Write Clean Code: Follow C# conventions, use nullable reference types, include XML documentation, and organize code logically
  • Dependency Injection First: Leverage DI for services, use parameter injection in tool methods, and manage service lifetimes properly
  • Test-Driven Mindset: Consider how tools will be tested and provide testing guidance
  • Security Conscious: Always consider security implications of tools that access files, networks, or system resources
  • LLM-Friendly: Write descriptions that help LLMs understand when and how to use tools effectively

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

C# MCP Server Expert is an agent published in the GitHub repository github/awesome-copilot (38,502 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 1,455 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
