Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sampledotnetmcpserver": {
      "command": "dnx",
      "args": [
        "TimHeuer.SampleDotnetMcpServer",
        "--yes"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add sampledotnetmcpserver -- dnx TimHeuer.SampleDotnetMcpServer --yes

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sampledotnetmcpserver": {
      "command": "dnx",
      "args": [
        "TimHeuer.SampleDotnetMcpServer",
        "--yes"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "sampledotnetmcpserver": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "dnx",
      "args": [

Common questions

Is Sampledotnetmcpserver safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.57-beta) reached the registry 14 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need .NET on your computer.

What can I use instead?

SampleDotnetMcpServer

This project is a sample implementation of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server in .NET, designed to demonstrate how to build, run, and publish an MCP server using C# and the ModelContextProtocol SDK.

mcp-name: io.github.timheuer/sampledotnetmcpserver

What is this?

SampleDotnetMcpServer is a reference MCP server for .NET, showing how to:

Implement MCP tools in C# (see Tools/RandomNumberTools.cs, Tools/SayHelloName.cs, Tools/WeatherTools.cs)
Register tools and configure the MCP server transport (see Program.cs)
Package and publish the server as a NuGet package for use in IDEs like VS Code and Visual Studio

The included tools demonstrate various MCP capabilities:

get_random_number: Generates random numbers within a specified range
say_hello_name and say_goodbye_name: Simple greeting tools
get_weather_by_zip_code: Gets current weather information for any US zip code
get_weather_forecast: Gets a multi-day weather forecast for any US zip code

Features

Implements the MCP protocol using stdio transport
Provides multiple sample tools:
get_random_number: Returns a random integer in a specified range
say_hello_name and say_goodbye_name: Simple greeting tools
get_weather_by_zip_code: Gets current weather for any US zip code using wttr.in API
get_weather_forecast: Gets multi-day weather forecast for any US zip code
Ready to be packed and published as a NuGet MCP server
Example configuration files and metadata included

How to use

Run locally

You can run the MCP server directly from source for development and testing:

dotnet run --project .

Or configure your IDE to use the following MCP server definition:

"servers": { "SampleDotnetMcpServer": { "type": "stdio", "command": "dotnet", "args": [ "run", "--project", " " ] } } }

Test the MCP server

Once running, you can use Copilot Chat or any MCP client to invoke the available tools:

Weather Tools:

Ask: "What's the weather like in 90210?" to get current weather
Ask: "Give me a 3-day forecast for 10001" to get a weather forecast
Ask: "Check the weather in 60601" to test with Chicago's zip code

Other Tools:

Ask: "Give me 3 random numbers" to use the random number generator
Ask: "Say hello to John" to use the greeting tools

Publish to NuGet.org

CI handles publishing to NuGet, using NuGet Trusted Publishing for the key and automatic versioning using Nerdbank.GitVersioning.

Use from NuGet.org

After publishing, configure your IDE to use the MCP server from NuGet.org. Example configuration (replace package id and version):

"servers": { "SampleDotnetMcpServer": { "type": "stdio", "command": "dnx", "args": [ "TimHeuer.SampleMcpServer", "--version", "0.1.0-beta", "--yes" ] } } }

Tools/RandomNumberTools.cs: Example MCP tool for generating random numbers
Tools/SayHelloName.cs: Example MCP tools for greetings
Tools/WeatherTools.cs: Weather-related MCP tools for checking weather by zip code
