C# MCP Server Publishing

Publish and deploy MCP servers to their target platforms. stdio servers are distributed as NuGet tool packages. HTTP servers are containerized and deployed to Azure or other container hosts. Both can optionally be listed in the official MCP Registry.

When to Use

• Packaging a stdio MCP server for NuGet distribution
• Creating a Docker container for an HTTP MCP server
• Deploying to Azure Container Apps or App Service
• Publishing to the official MCP Registry for discoverability
• Setting up server.json metadata for the MCP Registry
