Building an MCP Server in .NET to Supercharge Document Conversion with AI

Description

In this video, I walk you through how to build a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server in .NET 8 that exposes Nutrient Document Converter Services as AI-callable tools — accessible directly from GitHub Copilot and Claude Desktop. 🔧 What you'll see: • Setting up an MCP server in C# using the official ModelContextProtocol NuGet package • Defining AI-callable tools with simple attributes • Wrapping Nutrient Document Converter Services (SOAP) as an MCP tool • Converting documents to PDF/A using natural language in VS Code Copilot & Claude • Writing a .NET test client to call the MCP server programmatically No complex plugin systems. No custom integrations. Just .NET, MCP, and Nutrient. ───────────────────────────────────────── 📂 GitHub Repo: https://github.com/cfernandes-muhimbi/mcp-document-converter 📖 Full Blog Post: https://clavinfernandes.wordpress.com/2026/03/29/building-an-mcp-server-in-net-to-supercharge-document-conversion-with-ai/ ───────────────────────────────────────── 🔗 Resources: • Nutrient Document Converter Services: https://www.nutrient.io/sdk/document-converter-services/ • ModelContextProtocol NuGet: https://www.nuget.org/packages/ModelContextProtocol • MCP Specification: https://modelcontextprotocol.io #MCP #dotnet #CSharp #AITools #GitHubCopilot #Claude #Nutrient #DocumentConversion #dotnet8
