# MCP C# SDK
|
|
|
|
[](https://www.nuget.org/packages/ModelContextProtocol)
|
|
|
|
The official C# SDK for the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/), enabling .NET applications, services, and libraries to implement and interact with MCP clients and servers. Please visit the [API documentation](https://modelcontextprotocol.github.io/csharp-sdk/api/ModelContextProtocol.html) for more details on available functionality.
|
|
|
|
## Packages
|
|
|
|
This SDK consists of three main packages:
|
|
|
|
- **[ModelContextProtocol.Core](https://www.nuget.org/packages/ModelContextProtocol.Core)** [](https://www.nuget.org/packages/ModelContextProtocol.Core) - For projects that only need to use the client or low-level server APIs and want the minimum number of dependencies. [Documentation](src/ModelContextProtocol.Core/README.md)
|
|
|
|
- **[ModelContextProtocol](https://www.nuget.org/packages/ModelContextProtocol)** [](https://www.nuget.org/packages/ModelContextProtocol) - The main package with hosting and dependency injection extensions. References `ModelContextProtocol.Core`. This is the right fit for most projects that don't need HTTP server capabilities. [Documentation](src/ModelContextProtocol/README.md)
|
|
|
|
- **[ModelContextProtocol.AspNetCore](https://www.nuget.org/packages/ModelContextProtocol.AspNetCore)** [](https://www.nuget.org/packages/ModelContextProtocol.AspNetCore) - The library for HTTP-based MCP servers. References `ModelContextProtocol`. [Documentation](src/ModelContextProtocol.AspNetCore/README.md)
