Always use prerelease NuGet packages with `--prerelease` flag - Configure logging to stderr using `LogToStandardErrorThreshold = LogLevel.Trace` - Use `Host.CreateApplicationBuilder` for proper DI and lifecycle management -- Add `[Description]` attributes to all tools and parameters for LLM understanding +- Add `[Description]` attributes to all tools, prompts, resources and their parameters for LLM understanding - Support async operations with proper `CancellationToken` usage - Use `McpProtocolException` with appropriate `McpErrorCode` for protocol errors - Validate input parameters and provide clear error messages -- Use `McpServer.AsSamplingChatClient()` when tools need to interact with the client's LLM -- Organize related tools into classes with `[McpServerToolType]` -- Return simple types or JSON-serializable objects from tools - Provide complete, runnable code examples that users can immediately use - Include comments explaining complex logic or protocol-specific patterns -- Consider performance implications of tool operations +- Consider performance implications of operations - Think about error scenarios and handle them gracefully +### Tools Best Practices +- Use `[McpServerToolType]` on classes containing related tools +- Use `[McpServerTool(Name = "tool_name")]` with snake_case naming convention +- Organize related tools into classes (e.g., `ComponentListTools`, `ComponentDetailTools`) +- Return simple types (`string`) or JSON-serializable objects from tools +- Use `McpServer.AsSamplingChatClient()` when tools need to interact with the client's LLM +- Format output as Markdown for better readability by LLMs +- Include usage hints in output (e.g., "Use GetComponentDetails(componentName) for more information") + +### Prompts Best Practices +- Use `[McpServerPromptType]` on classes containing related prompts +- Use `[McpServerPrompt(Name = "prompt_name")]` with snake_case naming convention +- **One prompt class per prompt** for better organization and maintainability +- Return `ChatMessage` from prompt methods (not string) for proper MCP protocol compliance +- Use `ChatRole.User` for prompts that represent user instructions +- Include comprehensive context in the prompt content (component details, examples, guidelines) +- Use `[Description]` to explain what the prompt generates and when to use it +- Accept optional parameters with default values for flexible prompt customization +- Build prompt content using `StringBuilder` for complex multi-section prompts +- Include code examples and best practices directly in prompt content + +### Resources Best Practices +- Use `[McpServerResourceType]` on classes containing related resources +- Use `[McpServerResource]` with these key properties: + -
