* Overhaul tool handling
- Renames [McpTool{Type}] to [McpServerTool{Type}], in order to distinguish representations of tools on the server from tools on the client.
- Enables [McpServerTool] methods to have arguments injected from DI, as well as a specific set of types from the implementation directly, like IMcpServer.
- Renames WithTools to WithToolsFromAssembly.
- All of the WithToolsXx methods now publish each individual McpServerTool into DI; other code can do so as well. The options setup code gathers all of the tools from DI and combines them into a collection which is then stored in McpServerOptions and used to construct the server.
- The server tools specified via DI as well as manually-provided handlers, using CallToolHandler as a fallback in case the requested tool doesn't exist in the tools collection, and ListToolsHandler augments the information for whatever tools exist.
- The tools are stored in McpServerOptions in a new McpServerToolCollection type, which is a thread-safe container that exposes add/removal notification. Adding/removing tools triggers a change notification that in turn sends a notification to the client about a tools update.
- The ServerOptions are exposed from the server instance.
- Removed cursor-based APIs from McpClientExtensions.
- Changed McpClientExtensions APIs to return `Task<IList<...>` rather than `IAsyncEnumerable<...>`.
I'm sure this will need to evolve further before we're "done", but it's a significant improvement from where we are now. One area I'm not super happy with is the notifying collection; that might work ok for a stdio server, where you can grab the created collection from the server's options and mutate it, but I don't know how well that's going to work for sse servers.
* Make McpServerTool{Collection} extensible
* Fix README.md example
* Add notifications test
* Address feedback
* Make client config optional to McpClientFactory.CreateAsync
Unless you're specifying capabilities (sampling/rooting) or need a specific client name/version, the client information can be inferred from the assembly, simplifying the getting-started experience.
* Cache default options
* Update src/ModelContextProtocol/Client/McpClientFactory.cs

* Add AspNetCoreSseMcpTransport sample
* Fix build errors after rebase
* React to McpServerFactory changes
* Make Utf8JsonWriter non thread static
* Fix test errors caused by not rebasing the HttpLister changes on factory overhaul commit
* Integrate Microsoft.Extensions.AI as a foundational building block
As with logging abstractions coming from M.E.Logging and DI abstractions coming from M.E.DependencyInjection, M.E.AI provides the relevant AI abstractions.
- Adds AsAIFunction and GetAIFunctionsAsync methods for getting functions for tools via a client.
- Uses AIFunctionFactory to implement McpServerBuilderExtensions.WithTools.
- Adds a RequestSamplingAsync overload that accepts ChatMessages/Options.
- Adds an AsSamplingChatClient method that provides an IChatClient usable on the server to request sampling of the client.
- Adds a CreateSamplingHandler method to enable an IChatClient to be easily used to satisfy sampling requests on the client.
- Deprecate McpDotNet.Extensions.AI.
* Address PR feedback
Handlers are now specified before connecting the client/server. Otherwise, race conditions exist. Handlers move into being a part of the McpClientOptions/McpServerOptions, so that they're provided to the factories. Where relevant, the handlers are specified as part of the capability descriptors, so that they go hand in hand.
The factories are no longer stateful. Instead of allocating a factory and then calling a create method on it, you just call a static factory method.
