This MCP server is implemented in .NET C# and exposes an MCP-compatible interface for local testing and tool execution. After starting the server, it serves MCP endpoints under /mcp (e.g., http://localhost:5278/mcp). You can connect a client such as Postman using the MCP protocol to load and run available tools. In this project, you will typically see a UserTool among the loaded tools; selecting a method within UserTool and providing the required parameters will execute the tool and return results in the response. Use the base URL /mcp as the entry point to discover and invoke the available MCP tools exposed by the server.

Prerequisites:

• .NET SDK (version compatible with the project, e.g., .NET 6+)
• Basic knowledge of running command-line applications

Steps:

1. Clone the repository: git clone <repository-url> cd <repository-directory>

2. Restore and build the project: dotnet restore dotnet build

3. Run the MCP server: dotnet run

4. Ensure the server is listening on the expected URL (default http://localhost:5278).

5. Open your MCP client (e.g., Postman) and connect to http://localhost:5278/mcp.

Tips and common considerations:

• The MCP endpoint is exposed at /mcp; ensure firewall rules allow local HTTP access on port 5278 or adjust the port in your launch settings.
• If you modify launch settings or environment, update the ASPNETCORE_URLS variable accordingly to reflect the accessible URL.
• In Postman, MCP support enables automatic loading of tools (like UserTool) once connected; you can choose a method and supply required parameters to execute it.
• If you encounter issues connecting from a client, verify that the server is running and listening on the correct URL, and confirm there are no conflicting services on port 5278.
