Using the C# Model Context Protocol SDK

The course builds a real (if intentionally simple) e-commerce application called Carved Rock Fitness, and adds MCP capabilities to it step by step: first a basic tool-calling server wired to an existing API, then security (OAuth, role-based access, token forwarding), then consumption of that MCP server from an AI agent embedded in the application's own UI, and finally a separate developer-targeted MCP server that gets published as a NuGet package for use by coding assistants like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Claude Code.

Throughout, the emphasis is on practical, demo-driven implementation rather than theory — although key concepts (tools, resources, prompts, transports, and security models) are explained clearly before each demo.

The primary focus of this module — and the course as a whole — is to create an MCP server that exposes features of an already-built application to AI services.
