We auto-extract tools from the README. The maintainer can list them under a ## Tools heading to populate this section.

Overview

What is LocalMcpServer?

LocalMcpServer is a demonstration implementation of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built with .NET 9.0. It uses STDIO transport to provide tools—such as a time retrieval tool and a NuGet package interface lookup service—that can be invoked by compatible MCP clients, primarily serving as a reference for building MCP servers.

How to use LocalMcpServer?

Clone the repository, build the application with dotnet build, then run it with dotnet run. The server communicates over standard input/output, so you must connect a compatible MCP client—such as OllamaChat—to interact with its tools.

Key features of LocalMcpServer

Implementation of a basic MCP server using the ModelContextProtocol library
Uses STDIO transport for client-server communication
Includes a sample TimeTool that returns the current server time
Provides an InterfaceLookupService to retrieve C# interface definitions from NuGet packages
Built with .NET 9.0 and the .NET Generic Host
Automatically discovers and registers tools from the assembly

Use cases of LocalMcpServer

Demonstrate how to create and configure a simple MCP server
Test and debug MCP client–server interactions locally
Integrate with OllamaChat to give a local language model access to time and NuGet interface information
Serve as a starting template for developing custom MCP tools

Frequently asked questions

What is the purpose of LocalMcpServer?

It serves as a demonstration of the Model Context Protocol, showing how to implement a server that exposes tools via STDIO. It is meant for learning and prototyping MCP server development.

What are the system requirements to run LocalMcpServer?

You need the .NET 9.0 SDK (or higher) and a compatible MCP client for testing, such as the OllamaChat application.

How do I run the server?

Clone the repository, run `dotnet build` to build the project, and then `dotnet run` to start the server. The server listens on standard input and output.

What tools does LocalMcpServer provide?

It provides two tools: `TimeTool` (with a `GetCurrentTime()` method that returns the server time in ISO 8601 format) and `InterfaceLookupService` (with `GetInterfaceDefinition` and `ListInterfaces` methods for inspecting C# interfaces from NuGet packages).

How can I integrate LocalMcpServer with OllamaChat?

OllamaChat can connect to this MCP server via STDIO. By running the server locally and configuring OllamaChat to use it, you enable the language model to invoke the server’s tools for time retrieval and interface lookup.
