Show HN: Toolnexus for .NET – MCP and agent skills as tools for any LLM

Toolnexus is a .NET package that exposes MCP (Model Context Protocol) and agent skills as tools usable by any LLM, enabling seamless integration of custom .NET capabilities into AI agents and language models.

Background

- Toolnexus is a .NET NuGet package that lets developers expose existing C# code (methods, classes, MCP servers, agent skills) as tools any LLM can call — no manual tool definitions required. - MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an emerging open standard from Anthropic for letting LLMs interact with external tools and data sources in a structured way. - "Agent skills" refers to reusable capabilities (e.g., search, file I/O, API calls) that an AI agent can invoke autonomously. - This matters because .NET developers previously had to manually wrap code as tool definitions for each LLM framework; Toolnexus automates that via reflection and source generation. - NuGet is the official .NET package manager — think "pip for .NET." Publishing there means the library is designed for the broader .NET ecosystem, not just AI specialists.
