Build License

A community-maintained collection of Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementations written in C# / .NET 9, targeting Azure and developer-ecosystem services.

What is this?

Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI assistants (like Claude) securely call tools that integrate with external services. This repo provides production-grade MCP servers for popular Azure and developer services, each packaged as a standalone .NET 9 executable that can be run locally or in a container.

Quickstart

Prerequisites

.NET 9 SDK
Claude Desktop (or any MCP-compatible client)
Azure credentials (see Authentication)

Run a server locally

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/your-org/mcp-server-dotnet
cd mcp-server-dotnet

# Set up environment variables (see each server's README)
export AzureDevOps__Organization=myorg
export AzureDevOps__Project=myproject
export AzureDevOps__PersonalAccessToken=<your-pat>

# Run the server
dotnet run --project src/servers/AzureDevOps

Add to Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "azure-devops": {
      "command": "dotnet",
      "args": ["run", "--project", "/path/to/mcp-server-dotnet/src/servers/AzureDevOps"],
      "env": {
        "AzureDevOps__Organization": "myorg",
        "AzureDevOps__Project": "myproject",
        "AzureDevOps__PersonalAccessToken": "your-pat"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run with Docker

docker run -i \
  -e AzureDevOps__Organization=myorg \
  -e AzureDevOps__Project=myproject \
  -e AzureDevOps__PersonalAccessToken=your-pat \
  ghcr.io/your-org/mcp-server-azuredevops:latest

Claude Desktop config using Docker:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "azure-devops": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run", "-i", "--rm",
        "-e", "AzureDevOps__Organization=myorg",
        "-e", "AzureDevOps__Project=myproject",
        "-e", "AzureDevOps__PersonalAccessToken=your-pat",
        "ghcr.io/your-org/mcp-server-azuredevops:latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Authentication

All servers support two authentication modes:

Managed Identity / DefaultAzureCredential (recommended for production):

{
  "AzureAuth": {
    "Mode": "ManagedIdentity"
  }
}

Works automatically with Azure Managed Identity, Azure CLI (az login), environment variables (AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET, AZURE_TENANT_ID), and Visual Studio sign-in.

API Key / PAT (for local development):

{
  "AzureAuth": {
    "Mode": "ApiKey",
    "ApiKey": "your-token-here"
  }
}

See each server's README for service-specific auth configuration.
