The developer behind sharp-mcp, a local AI coding assistant for C#/.NET, details the architectural decisions made to optimize its performance and accuracy. Key innovations include parsing codebases once with Roslyn and caching the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) metadata in Redis for rapid retrieval, significantly reducing latency compared to direct file reading. To combat "NuGet hallucinations," sharp-mcp uses MetadataLoadContext to decode actual IL from package DLLs, providing Claude with precise API signatures rather than relying on potentially stale documentation or training data.
