How can I test and debug Server Example?

You can use the MCP Inspector to test and debug your MCP server. The project documentation provides clear instructions on how to install and connect to the Inspector.

What is Server Example?

Server Example is a basic .NET implementation of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, providing endpoints for interacting with MCP clients. It serves as a demonstration and testing ground for MCP functionality.

How does Server Example integrate with GitLab?

Server Example demonstrates integration with GitLab using user secrets for storing sensitive information like personal access tokens (PAT). This allows the server to interact with GitLab APIs securely.

What features does Server Example offer?

It implements a basic MCP server using .NET, includes endpoints for MCP client interaction, integrates with the MCP Inspector for debugging, demonstrates GitLab integration via user secrets, and provides example tools like WhoIs and SearchGroups (GitLab).

What are User Secrets and how do I set them up?

User Secrets is a .NET Core feature that stores sensitive information, like API keys, outside of your project's source code. The Server Example provides instructions for initializing and setting User Secrets for GitLab integration.
