Model Context Protocol + Aspire = AI Magic in .NET!

In this video, I’ll walk you through how to integrate the Model Context Protocol (MCP) into a Blazor Chat Application powered by .NET Aspire using the official C# SDK. 🚀 The Model Context Protocol is a new, open standard for enabling consistent interaction between AI models and applications. The official C# SDK makes it easy to implement and interact with MCP clients and servers in your .NET apps. In this demo, we’ll see how to create a Blazor-based chat app, configure MCP, and connect it to a local AI model using Qwq — all managed by .NET Aspire! 🔎 What you'll learn: ✅ What is MCP and how it works in .NET ✅ How to set up a Blazor chat app with MCP using the official C# SDK ✅ Running a local AI model (Qwq) for real-time AI conversations ✅ How to manage the entire solution with .NET Aspire 🛠️ Resources: 📖 Model Context Protocol Overview: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/intro... 💻 MCP C# SDK: https://github.com/modelcontextprotoc... 🧠 Model for Local Demo (Qwq): https://ollama.com/library/qwq/tags 🚀 Sample Code: https://aka.ms/aspiremcp/repo 📎 Generative AI .Net: https://aka.ms/genainet This demo is perfect for developers who want to explore how MCP can improve AI interactions in their .NET applications.
