What is the Dotnetmetadatamcpserver MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides detailed type information from .NET projects for AI coding agents.

The short version

The .NET Types Explorer MCP Server is a powerful tool designed to help AI coding agents understand and work with .NET codebases. It provides a structured way to explore assemblies, namespaces, and types in .NET projects, making it easier for AI agents to generate accurate and context-aware code suggestions.

  • Assembly Exploration — Retrieve a list of all assemblies referenced by a .NET project
  • Namespace Exploration — Discover all namespaces within specified assemblies
  • Type Exploration — Get detailed information about types within specified namespaces, including:
  • Full type names with generic parameters
  • Implemented interfaces
  • Constructors with parameters

What it needs from you

  • .NET 10.0 SDK or later - A .NET project that you want to explore
