MakingMcp provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that integrates file, web, shell, and delegated-agent tooling through dependency injection. The project offers two deployment modes:
- Stdio Mode (
src/MakingMcp) - Traditional command-line MCP server using standard input/output - Web Service Mode (
src/MakingMcp.Web) - HTTP-based MCP server with Windows Service support
- .NET SDK 10.0 or later
Download the pre-built binaries from GitHub Releases:
- MakingMcp-win-x64.zip - Stdio mode for Windows
- MakingMcp-linux-x64.zip - Stdio mode for Linux
- MakingMcp-osx-x64.zip - Stdio mode for macOS
- MakingMcp-Web-win-x64.zip - Web service mode for Windows
- MakingMcp-Web-osx-x64.zip - Web service mode for macOS
- Extract the downloaded package
- Run the executable:
- Windows:
MakingMcp.exe - Linux/macOS:
./MakingMcp
- Windows:
-
Extract the downloaded package (MakingMcp-Web-*.zip)
-
Run as a regular web application:
- Windows:
MakingMcp.Web.exe - macOS:
./MakingMcp.Web
The MCP endpoint will be available at
http://localhost:6511/mcp(or as configured in your environment). - Windows:
-
Install as Windows Service (requires Administrator privileges):
MakingMcp.Web.exe install
The service will be automatically started after installation.
-
Uninstall Windows Service (requires Administrator privileges):
MakingMcp.Web.exe uninstall
Both modes support configuration through environment variables:
OPENAI_API_KEY- OpenAI API key for Task toolOPENAI_ENDPOINT- Custom OpenAI endpoint (optional)TASK_MODEL- Model name for Task tool (e.g., gpt-4)EMBEDDING_MODEL- Embedding model (default: text-embedding-3-small)MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS- Maximum output tokens (default: 32000)TAVILY_API_KEY- Tavily API key for Web search tool
For Web Service mode, you can also use appsettings.json for configuration.
