Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00047 | $0.02424 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.01212 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00485 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00242 |
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.
This is a copy
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.

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

What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

dotnet-mcp is a skill published in the GitHub repository Postpartum-genushyacinthus29/dotnet-skills (10 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 2,424 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 86% identical to mcp, differing in 33 lines, and is treated as a copy.
