MCP in Action: Real-World Use Cases & Design Patterns
summary
MCP (Model Context Protocol) claims to replace one-off integrations by centralizing tool access so ten AI clients reuse a single server instead of ten custom connectors; demo builds a .NET MCP server and client over stdio using the MCP C# SDK (official Mar 5 2026) with attribute-based discovery and DI integration. Tools shown: weather tool and a product catalog backed by a minimal API (10 products). Transport options include stdio for local demos and HTTP+SSE for production; demo connects, lists tools, and returns weather and product results.
