Aspire skill covering the Aspire CLI, AppHost orchestration, service discovery, integrations, MCP server, VS Code extension, Dev Containers, GitHub Codespaces, templates, dashboard, and deployment. Use when the user asks to create, run, debug, configure, deploy, or troubleshoot an Aspire distributed application.
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
# Aspire — Polyglot Distributed-App Orchestration Aspire is a **code-first, polyglot toolchain** for building observable, production-ready distributed applications. It orchestrates containers, executables, and cloud resources from a single AppHost project — regardless of whether the workloads are C#, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, Java, Rust, Bun, Deno, or PowerShell. > **Mental model:** The AppHost is a *conductor* — it doesn't play the instruments, it tells every service when to start, how to find each other, and watches for problems. Detailed reference material lives in the `references/` folder — load on demand. --- ## References | Reference | When to load | |---|---| | [CLI Reference](references/cli-reference.md) | Command flags, options, or detailed usage | | [MCP Server](references/mcp-server.md) | Setting up MCP for AI assistants, available tools | | [Integrations Catalog](references/integrations-catalog.md) | Discovering integrations via MCP tools, wiring patterns | | [Polyglot APIs](references/polyglot-apis.md) | Method signatures, chaining options, language-specific patterns | …

How to install
mdr add github/awesome-copilot/aspire@sha256:f4cb7a6c3d437eddThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260209.e765718, 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.
