netagents

Compile-time MCP server generator and .agents skill package manager for .NET.

netagents publishes packages for managing .agents skill repositories and building compile-time MCP servers in .NET.

Packages

Package	Purpose
NetAgents	CLI tool for .agents directories (init, install, sync, trust)
Qyl.Agents.Abstractions	[McpServer] and [Tool] marker attributes (netstandard2.0)
Qyl.Agents.Generator	Source generator emitting dispatch, schema, OTel, and SKILL.md
Qyl.Agents	Runtime protocol handler and stdio host

Quick Start

Define a server with attributes — the generator produces everything at build time:

using Qyl.Agents;

[McpServer("calc-server")]
public partial class CalcServer
{
    /// <summary>Adds two numbers</summary>
    [Tool]
    public int Add(int a, int b) => a + b;
}

The generator emits:

• DispatchToolCallAsync — routes tool calls by name
• GetServerInfo / GetToolInfos — MCP metadata
• JSON Schema for each tool’s input parameters
• OpenTelemetry spans and metrics
• SKILL.md content for dotagents distribution

Install

dotnet add package Qyl.Agents.Abstractions
dotnet add package Qyl.Agents.Generator
dotnet add package Qyl.Agents

For the CLI:

dotnet tool install --global NetAgents

Architecture

Repository Management

The CLI manages .agents skill directories:

netagents init                    # Initialize project
netagents add getsentry/dotagents # Add a skill source
netagents install                 # Install all skills
netagents sync                    # Update to latest
netagents doctor                  # Verify installation
