Build or consume Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and clients in .NET using the official MCP C# SDK, including stdio, Streamable HTTP, tools, prompts, resources, and capability negotiation.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# 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.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add postpartum-genushyacinthus29/dotnet-skills/dotnet-mcp@sha256:4230966ecc2e34ef

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
