Now that we've explored how to leverage Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to utilize external Tools and AI models in C# applications, how to write your own Standard Input/Output (STDIO) MCP server in C# using the modelcontextprotocol / csharp-sdk, and how we can dockerize your .NET C# MCP server to be able to distribute it for use by AI clients. It's time to take a step further and explore how to leverage Server-Sent Events (SSE) MCP servers so that we can deploy them remotely, for example on a Raspberry Pi.

End of summer 2022, the .NET team at Microsoft announced two things related to containers: .NET in Chiseled Ubuntu containers and then a week after built-in container support in the .NET 7 SDK. I have talked about both topics on two episodes of the French podcast devdevdev.net by my friend Richard Clark. In this post, I will explain what those are and how to combine them.

WebAssembly (WASM) and WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) are opening new opportunities for developers. .NET developers became familiar with WASM when Blazor WebAssembly was released. Blazor WebAssembly runs client-side in the browser on a WebAssembly-based .NET runtime. WASI is bringing WASM out of the browser world by providing a system interface to run WebAssembly outside the web. It is a standard for how WASM modules interact with the host environment. This post will show you how to run .NET 7 on a Raspberry PI Zero 2 W using WASM and WASI.

In the last post, we have seen how to call a service from another service using the Dapr .NET SDK. In this one, we will have a look at a possible way to simplify the development of the client code using Refit, the automatic type-safe REST library for .NET Core, Xamarin, and .NET.
