MCP C# SDK

NuGet version

The official C# SDK for the Model Context Protocol, enabling .NET applications, services, and libraries to implement and interact with MCP clients and servers. Please visit the API documentation for more details on available functionality.

Packages

The SDK packages are:

  • ModelContextProtocol.Core NuGet version - For projects that only need to use the client or low-level server APIs and want the minimum number of dependencies.

  • ModelContextProtocol NuGet version - The main package with hosting and dependency injection extensions. References ModelContextProtocol.Core. This is the right fit for most projects that don't need HTTP server capabilities.

  • ModelContextProtocol.AspNetCore NuGet version - The library for HTTP-based MCP servers. References ModelContextProtocol.

  • ModelContextProtocol.Extensions.Apps NuGet version - MCP Apps extension for building interactive UI applications that render inside MCP hosts.

  • ModelContextProtocol.Extensions.Tasks NuGet version - MCP Tasks extension for running long-running tool invocations asynchronously with status polling and input requests.

Getting Started

To get started, see the Getting Started guide in the conceptual documentation for installation instructions, package-selection guidance, and complete examples for both clients and servers.

You can also browse the samples directory and the API documentation for more details on available functionality.

About MCP
