Perigon.CLI

Perigon.CLI is a powerful tool designed to streamline the process of building backend services using Asp.Net Core and Entity Framework Core. With integrated support for command line, WebUI, and IDEs, this Model Context Protocol (MCP) server leverages code generation and LLM technology to minimize boilerplate code, significantly enhancing your development efficiency. Developers can quickly set up robust and scalable applications while adhering to best practices in project architecture.

Once connected to the Perigon.CLI server, you can interact with it using various commands to generate scaffolding for your backend services.
