Building MCP Servers with C# and .NET

AI agents are quickly becoming a first-class part of modern applications, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is emerging as the standard way to equip those agents with tools, data, and enterprise-grade capabilities. In this session, you’ll learn how to build MCP servers using C# and .NET, enabling your applications, copilots, and agentic workflows to interact with your business logic, APIs, and data in a secure and structured way.

We’ll walk through the fundamentals of MCP, how to implement tools and resources with .NET, and how to integrate your MCP server with developer experiences like VS Code, OpenAI clients, and Microsoft Foundry Agent Service. You’ll see end-to-end examples ranging from simple utilities to enterprise workflows that connect to SQL, Azure services, Microsoft Graph, and more.

Whether you’re building agent-powered applications or want to expose your .NET systems as reusable tools, this session will show you how to turn your .NET expertise into powerful AI integrations.
