.NET MCP server: How skills can be exposed and used by the AI agent

Authorised Territory demonstrates how a .NET MCP server can expose a skill as a resource, and how an AI agent client can use that skill to answer a question, using a locally running LLM via Ollama.

Overview

This tutorial focuses on exposing application capabilities (“skills”) from a .NET MCP server so an AI agent in a client application can discover and use them to answer user questions.

Key points covered:

• Exposing a skill from a .NET MCP server as a resource.
• Using both the skill and the skill resource from an agent-enabled client to produce an answer.
• Running the agent against a local LLM using Ollama.
