Model Context Protocol

LLMs are powerful—but without access to live tools, data, and systems, they’re limited. Discover how MCP bridges that gap and why it’s becoming the standard for AI integration.

Part 2 of our MCP series explores the technical foundations: JSON-RPC communication, supported transports (STDIO, HTTP/SSE, WebSockets), capability discovery (tools, resources, prompts), invocation methods, and security principles.

This guide covers building an MCP server in C# (.NET) with NuGet package management, running it in VS Code, and integrating with GitHub Copilot for AI-assisted development.

This guide demonstrates building an MCP server using Akka Java SDK with annotation-based tool definitions, service discovery, and integration with both external MCP clients and Akka agents.
