To create a Model Context Protocol server in C#, you can generate a complete console application project that includes necessary NuGet packages, logging to stderr, and dependency injection setup. This approach scaffolds the server using the Host builder pattern with preconfigured example tools.

A C# MCP server requires the ModelContextProtocol and Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting NuGet packages to handle protocol communication and server lifecycle management. These dependencies are automatically included when generating the project, ensuring proper configuration and dependency injection setup.

Configuring logging for an MCP server using stdio transport requires directing log output to stderr instead of stdout. This prevents logging output from interfering with the stdio transport protocol communication, ensuring the server maintains clean message channels for tool integration.

Setting up dependency injection for MCP tools in a .NET console application involves using the Host builder pattern to manage the server lifecycle. This configuration automatically registers tools with proper attributes and descriptions, enabling seamless discovery and comprehensive error handling.

This MCP server generator creates a new C# console application project with a predefined best-practice structure rather than modifying existing codebases. The generated project includes example tools with attributes, proper configuration, and error handling mechanisms ready for immediate use.

The best way to scaffold an MCP server with example tools in C# is to generate a complete project that implements the Host builder pattern for dependency injection. This approach automatically creates example tools with proper attributes and descriptions, incorporating comprehensive error handling mechanisms throughout.
