How do I install the dotnet mcp server?

This profile does not contain a verified copy-paste launch configuration. Follow the current project documentation to confirm the runtime, entry point, transport and authentication before registering it in your client.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `COVERAGE_MCP_ALLOWED_ROOT` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

What is the Dotnet MCP Server?

MCP server for .NET coverage: run tests, parse Cobertura, find uncovered branches, append tests.

What you get

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI assistants — Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and others — direct access to .NET test-coverage tooling. Run dotnet test, parse Cobertura XML, identify uncovered branches, diff coverage between runs, and append test code — all over stdio.

Configuration and credentials

.NET 9.0 SDK (or later) — https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download - reportgenerator global tool — the server shells out to it to render coverage reports (installed in the Install step below) - An MCP-compatible client (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, etc.) - COVERAGE_MCP_ALLOWED_ROOT — recommended. Set to your repository root to restrict
