DotnetFastMCP v2.1.1 fixes runtime crashes and improves AI tool integration

A recent update to the DotnetFastMCP library, version 2.1.1, addresses two critical issues for .NET developers building AI-powered tools. The first fix resolves a runtime crash caused by un-registered tool classes with constructor injection, ensuring these classes are automatically registered with ASP.NET Core's DI container. The second improvement enhances how AI models interact with tools by automatically including descriptions in the generated JSON Schema, allowing models to better understand parameter meanings and reducing the need for user clarification.

    Why Your .NET MCP Tool Classes Crash at Runtime (And the Two-Line Fix)

    <p>If you're building MCP servers in .NET with instance-based tool classes — the kind that take <code>ILogger&lt;T&gt;</code>, <code>HttpClient</code>, or a repository through constructor injection — there's a good chance you've already hit this at runtime:<br /> </p> <div class=…
