BootstrapBlazor.Copilot.MCPServer is a Model Context Protocol server designed to provide AI assistants with access to BootstrapBlazor component documentation and source code.

BootstrapBlazor.Copilot.MCPServer

| English README

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants (like GitHub Copilot, Claude) with access to BootstrapBlazor component documentation and source code.

Project Overview

BootstrapBlazor.Copilot.MCPServer is an MCP server specifically designed for the BootstrapBlazor framework that can:

  • šŸ“š Provide complete documentation for BootstrapBlazor components
  • šŸ” Allow AI assistants to search and browse component source code
  • šŸ“– Offer component usage examples and best practices
  • šŸ”„ Automatically sync the latest BootstrapBlazor source code
  • šŸ› ļø Support integration with AI assistants via HTTP transport

Architecture

The project is built with .NET 9.0 and ASP.NET Core, including the following main components:

Core Features

  1. Git Repository Management (GitRepositoryManager)

    • Automatically clone and update BootstrapBlazor official repository
    • Check if local repository is up to date
    • Background service for periodic code synchronization

  2. Component Documentation Service (ComponentDocumentationService)

    • Scan and index all BootstrapBlazor components
    • Provide access to component source code and example files
    • Intelligent path resolution supporting multiple file organization structures

  3. MCP Tools (ComponentsTool)

    • ListComponents: List all available components
    • GetComponentFiles: Get component file list
    • GetFileContent: Get specific file content
    • Echo: Test tool

Technology Stack

  • .NET 9.0: Latest .NET framework
  • ASP.NET Core: Web application framework
  • Model Context Protocol: AI assistant integration protocol
  • LibGit2Sharp: Git operations library
  • .NET Aspire: Cloud-native application development platform
  • OpenTelemetry: Observability and monitoring

Installation and Configuration

Prerequisites

  • .NET 9.0 SDK
  • Git
  • Visual Studio 2022 or VS Code

Quick Start

  1. Clone the project

    git clone https://github.com/your-repo/BootstrapBlazor.Copilot.MCPServer.git
cd BootstrapBlazor.Copilot.MCPServer

  2. Restore dependencies

    dotnet restore

  3. Run the service

    # Using Aspire (recommended)
dotnet run --project BootstrapBlazor.Copilot.MCPServer.AppHost

# Or run the main project directly
dotnet run --project BootstrapBlazor.Copilot.MCPServer

  4. Verify the service The service runs on http://localhost:3001 by default and supports the following endpoints:

    • /health - Health check
    • /alive - Liveness check
    • MCP protocol endpoints

Configuration Options

Configure the following options in appsettings.json:

{
  "McpToolConfig": {
    "ServerUrl": "http://localhost:3001"
  },
  "GitRepository": {
    "LocalPath": "C:\\temp\\BootstrapBlazorRepo"  // Optional: custom local repository path
  }
}

MCP Tool Usage

1. List All Components

# MCP call example
ListComponents()

Returns names and descriptions of all BootstrapBlazor components.

2. Get Component File List

GetComponentFiles("Button")

Returns a list of source code files and example files for the specified component.

3. Get File Content

GetFileContent({
  "ComponentName": "Button",
  "FileName": "Button.razor.cs",
  "Category": "Source"  // Source or Example
})

Returns the complete content of the specified file.

AI Assistant Integration

This service is designed to integrate with AI assistants that support the MCP protocol:

GitHub Copilot Integration

  1. Add MCP server in GitHub Copilot settings
  2. Configure server address: https://localhost:3001
  3. Restart GitHub Copilot to apply configuration

Claude Desktop Integration

Add to Claude Desktop configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bootstrapblazor": {
      "command": "dotnet",
      "args": ["run", "--project", "path/to/BootstrapBlazor.Copilot.MCPServer"],
      "env": {
        "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Production"
      }
    }
  }
}

Development Guide

Adding New MCP Tools

  1. Create a new tool class in the Tools directory
  2. Mark the class with [McpServerToolType]
  3. Mark tool methods with [McpServerTool]
  4. Register the service in Program.cs

Example:

[McpServerToolType]
public class NewTool
{
    [McpServerTool, Description("New tool description")]
    public string NewMethod(string parameter)
    {
        return "Result";
    }
}

Extending Component Analysis

You can add new component analysis logic in ComponentDocumentationService:

  • Parse component properties
  • Extract usage examples
  • Generate component relationship diagrams

Monitoring and Operations

Health Checks

  • /health - Complete health check
  • /alive - Basic liveness check

Logging

The project uses the .NET standard logging framework, supporting:

  • Console output
  • File logging (requires configuration)
  • Structured logging
  • OpenTelemetry integration

Performance Monitoring

Provided through .NET Aspire and OpenTelemetry:

  • Request tracing
  • Performance metrics
  • Distributed tracing
  • Error monitoring

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

  1. Git repository clone failure

    • Check network connectivity
    • Verify Git is properly installed
    • Check firewall settings

  2. MCP connection failure

    • Verify server address configuration
    • Check if port is in use
    • Confirm MCP client configuration is correct

  3. Component files not found

    • Confirm BootstrapBlazor repository is properly cloned
    • Check local repository path configuration
    • Verify component name spelling

Debug Mode

Enable detailed logging in development environment:

{
  "Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Debug",
      "BootstrapBlazor.Copilot.MCPServer": "Trace"
    }
  }
}
