Build .NET client apps to consume MCP servers and leverage external tools

This article details how to build a client application in .NET that can consume Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. It explains the three core verbs for client interaction: connect, discover, and call. The post provides code examples for establishing a connection using the ModelContextProtocol.Core SDK, discovering available tools dynamically at runtime, and invoking these tools with specific arguments. This approach allows .NET applications to leverage external tools, similar to how Claude Desktop and Claude Code interact with MCP servers. AI

IMPACT Enables .NET developers to integrate external AI tools and services into their applications, streamlining agent loop development.
