dotnet-mcp

dotnet-mcp is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Postpartum-genushyacinthus29/dotnet-skills. It costs 47 tokens per session (2,424 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of mcp, MIT.

A guide for connecting .NET applications through Model Context Protocol (MCP), a standard way for AI hosts and software to exchange tools, prompts, and data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build or consume MCP servers and clients, expose tools or resources, connect discovered tools to an AI chat client, or publish an MCP server.
Why use it?
It helps make a .NET client or server work correctly with other MCP-compatible software, including choices about local or web connections and supported capabilities.

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

dotnet-mcp 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 11d 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.

Origin

86% identical to mcp — 33 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 219 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

MCP C# SDK for .NET

Trigger On

  • building or consuming MCP servers from a .NET application or library
  • choosing between stdio and HTTP transport for MCP
  • exposing tools, resources, prompts, completions, or logging to an MCP host
  • connecting a .NET app to an existing MCP server and passing discovered tools into IChatClient
  • bootstrapping a minimal MCP client/server from the .NET AI quickstarts or publishing a server to the MCP Registry
  • implementing capability-aware flows such as roots, sampling, elicitation, subscriptions, or session resumption

Use This Skill Instead Of

  • Use dotnet-mcp when protocol interoperability is the requirement.
  • Use dotnet-microsoft-extensions-ai when you only need model/provider abstraction or local tool orchestration without the MCP wire protocol.
  • Use dotnet-microsoft-agent-framework when the main problem is agent orchestration; combine it with dotnet-mcp only when those agents must consume or expose MCP endpoints.
  • Use the .NET AI quickstarts for the very first vertical slice, then come back here to harden transport, capability negotiation, publishing, and host interoperability.

Changes

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.
