Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/decriptor/AvaloniaUI.MCP.git
cd AvaloniaUI.MCP

# Build the project
dotnet build

# Run tests (optional)
dotnet test

# Start the server
dotnet run --project src/AvaloniaUI.MCP/AvaloniaUI.MCP.csproj

Configuration

Add to your MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "avalonia": {
      "command": "dotnet",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--project",
        "/path/to/AvaloniaUI.MCP/src/AvaloniaUI.MCP/AvaloniaUI.MCP.csproj"
      ],
      "cwd": "/path/to/AvaloniaUI.MCP"
    }
  }
}

First Commands

Try these commands with your MCP client:

"Create a new AvaloniaUI MVVM project called MyApp"
"Validate this XAML code for best practices"
"Generate JWT authentication pattern with high security"
"Show me how to migrate this WPF control to AvaloniaUI"
"Perform a health check on the server"
