.NET Meets MCP: Build Your Own AI-Powered Service with C#
summary
Explains how to run and build MCP servers with C# and .NET, showing live VS Code demos that register tools, expose prompts and resources, and run as stdio or HTTP hosts; demos include a working random-number tool invoked from GitHub Copilot chat, an ASP.NET endpoint auto-registered as MCP, and local inspection via the MCP inspector. Covers the C# SDK/nuget workflow (including net new MCP server template), GitHub/Azure integrations, and practical limits like 103 tools seen and a 128 limit, with demos mostly succeeding despite small hiccups.
