Project

VisualMCP

A local MCP server that gives AI coding agents the IDE's brain for C#/.NET. More than 400 tools built on Roslyn, MSBuild and a real debugger, so the agent asks the compiler instead of grepping text.

“Your agent is fluent in JavaScript. It guesses at C#.” VisualMCP exists so that it stops guessing: every question about the code goes through the same semantic model an IDE uses, and every edit is checked against the compiler before it touches the disk. The code and the docs are on GitHub.

  1. It reads code the way the compiler does

    Semantic model, not regex

    Symbols, references, callers and implementations are resolved through Roslyn, so overloads, generics, partial types and interface dispatch are answered exactly — the way Visual Studio would answer them, not the way a text search would.

  2. Refactorings that refuse to break the build

    Compiler-gated edits

    Rename, extract, move and change-signature operations are verified against the compiler before anything is written. An edit that would introduce an error is refused, and every write is recorded so it can be reverted.

  3. The whole dev loop, in the conversation

    Build, test, debug, profile

    Build the solution, run the tests with coverage, attach a debugger with breakpoints, run benchmarks, profile CPU, allocations, GC and lock contention — all without the agent ever leaving your repo's context.

  4. It reads binaries too

    ILSpy and Ghidra

    .NET assemblies are decompiled with ILSpy and native binaries recovered with Ghidra; the result lands in the same queryable model as the source code, so “what does this library actually do?” has an answer.

  5. Local first

    No account, no hosted service

    One local process, talking to your MCP client — Claude Code, ZCode and friends. Nothing about your code leaves the machine.

Documentation

The whole server, explained page by page: what each family of tools does, which tool answers which question, and the ways of working that make the agent and the compiler agree.
