Model Context Protocol (MCP) for .NET Developers

Description

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an emerging standard for connecting AI models with data sources and tools. This session introduces .NET developers to MCP and demonstrates how to integrate it into your applications. Learn how MCP enables AI assistants to access your application's data and functionality in a standardized way, making it easier to build intelligent experiences. We'll cover the MCP architecture, show how to expose resources and tools through MCP, and demonstrate practical integration patterns. Discover how MCP can bridge the gap between your .NET applications and AI systems, enabling richer and more contextual AI interactions. .NET 10 — The most intelligent and unified .NET yet: https://aka.ms/dotnet10/ .NET Aspire 13 — Simplified orchestration for cloud-native apps: https://aka.ms/aspire13/announcement ASP.NET Core 10 — Modern, secure, and full-stack web development: https://aka.ms/asp/dotnet/2025 .NET MAUI 10 — Build beautiful apps on every platform: https://aka.ms/dotnet/maui/2025 C# 14 — A more expressive and productive language: https://aka.ms/csharp14/announcement/2025 F# 10 — Safer, faster, and more functional than ever: https://aka.ms/fsharp10/2025/announcement Visual Studio 2026 — Faster, smarter, and built for the future: https://aka.ms/visualstudio2026/announcement Connect with .NET: Blog: https://aka.ms/dotnet/blog Twitter: https://aka.ms/dotnet/twitter TikTok: https://aka.ms/dotnet/tiktok Mastodon: https://aka.ms/dotnet/mastodon LinkedIn: https://aka.ms/dotnet/linkedin Facebook: https://aka.ms/dotnet/facebook Docs: https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet Forums: https://aka.ms/dotnet/forums 🙋‍♀️Q&A: https://aka.ms/dotnet-qa 👨‍🎓Microsoft Learn: https://aka.ms/learndotnet #dotnet
