Open on GitHubWhat wpf-dev-pack-mcp does
This server feeds WPF reference topics from a cloned workspace to coding agents. It works with a local repository clone. Agents receive context, rules, and skills for .NET desktop workflows.
Running the full wpf-dev-pack environment requires three Claude Code plugins: context7, microsoft-docs, and csharp-lsp. You also need the serena MCP server configured through uv. Claude Code tool prompts suppress Serena when installed as a plugin.
Project automation includes pre-push git hooks that update patch versions when editing files. These hooks demand .NET SDK 10.0.300 or newer. You configure them with git config core.hooksPath .githooks or the provided scripts.
