I Built an MCP Server That Understands Your MSBuild Project Graph — Before You Build

Source: DEV Community

Ask your AI coding assistant about your .NET solution structure and watch it hallucinate. It'll guess at project references, miss TFM mismatches, and confidently tell you things that aren't true — because it has no way to actually evaluate your MSBuild project files. Existing tools like BinlogInsights require you to build first, then analyze the binary log. That's useful, but it means you need a successful build before you can ask questions. What if your solution is broken? What if you just want to understand the dependency graph before a migration? I built MSBuild Graph MCP Server to fill this gap. It evaluates MSBuild project files directly — no build required — and exposes the results through 10 MCP tools that any AI assistant can call. What It Does Install it as a .NET global tool: dotnet tool install -g MsBuildGraphMcp Then ask your assistant natural questions: "Show me the dependency graph for this solution" → full DAG with topological sort "Are there any TFM mismatches?" → finds
