What it does
Csharp MCP Server Generator is an agent skill from ILoveDotNet/ilovedotnet. Generate a complete MCP server project in C with tools, prompts, and proper configuration
Its SKILL.md is about 560 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with C#, Model Context Protocol and .NET. The repository describes itself as: I love to teach dotnet concepts in a simple way with real world examples to people who aspire to to be a dotnet developer. I also help developers to refresh their memory with… The licence is CC0-1.0.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve MCP servers
Example prompts
- “/csharp-mcp-server-generator”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Project Structure: Create a new C# console application with proper directory structure
- NuGet Packages: Include ModelContextProtocol (prerelease) and Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting
- Logging Configuration: Configure all logs to stderr to avoid interfering with stdio transport
- Server Setup: Use the Host builder pattern with proper DI configuration
- Tools: Create at least one useful tool with proper attributes and descriptions
- Error Handling: Include proper error handling and validation
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 71752c3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Csharp MCP Server Generator loads about 560 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 255 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- Generate a complete MCP server project in C# with tools, prompts, and proper configuration
Generate C# MCP Server
Create a complete Model Context Protocol (MCP) server in C# with the following specifications:
Requirements
- Project Structure: Create a new C# console application with proper directory structure
- NuGet Packages: Include ModelContextProtocol (prerelease) and Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting
- Logging Configuration: Configure all logs to stderr to avoid interfering with stdio transport
- Server Setup: Use the Host builder pattern with proper DI configuration
- Tools: Create at least one useful tool with proper attributes and descriptions
- Error Handling: Include proper error handling and validation
Implementation Details
Basic Project Setup
- Use .NET 8.0 or later
- Create a console application
- Add necessary NuGet packages with --prerelease flag
- Configure logging to stderr
Server Configuration
- Use
Host.CreateApplicationBuilderfor DI and lifecycle management - Configure
AddMcpServer()with stdio transport - Use
WithToolsFromAssembly()for automatic tool discovery - Ensure the server runs with
RunAsync()
Tool Implementation
- Use
[McpServerToolType]attribute on tool classes - Use
[McpServerTool]attribute on tool methods - Add
[Description]attributes to tools and parameters - Support async operations where appropriate
- Include proper parameter validation
Code Quality
- Follow C# naming conventions
- Include XML documentation comments
- Use nullable reference types
- Implement proper error handling with McpProtocolException
- Use structured logging for debugging
Example Tool Types to Consider
- File operations (read, write, search)
- Data processing (transform, validate, analyze)
- External API integrations (HTTP requests)
- System operations (execute commands, check status)
- Database operations (query, update)
Testing Guidance
- Explain how to run the server
- Provide example commands to test with MCP clients
- Include troubleshooting tips
Generate a complete, production-ready MCP server with comprehensive documentation and error handling.
