Walkthrough

The Butil demo now exposes MCP and mirrored HTTP endpoints for API metadata, capability planning, search, setup guides, rendered documentation, guide sections, and embedded source files. It also adds an interactive MCP client page and shared documentation search.

Changes

Butil MCP documentation platform

Layer / File(s) Summary
Content contracts and embedded documentation
src/Butil/Bit.Butil.Demo/Client/Docs/DocsNav.cs, src/Butil/Bit.Butil.Demo/Server/Dtos/*, src/Butil/Bit.Butil.Demo/Server/Services/ButilSourceCatalog.cs, src/Butil/Bit.Butil.Demo/Server/Services/ButilXmlDocs.cs, src/Butil/Bit.Butil.Demo/Server/Bit.Butil.Demo.Server.csproj
Documentation links now include page and service metadata. DTOs describe MCP responses. The server embeds documentation and source files. Source and XML documentation lookup APIs are added.
API, capability, search, and setup services
src/Butil/Bit.Butil.Demo/Server/Services/ButilApiCatalog.cs, src/Butil/Bit.Butil.Demo/Server/Services/ButilCapabilityCatalog.cs, src/Butil/Bit.Butil.Demo/Server/Services/ButilSearchIndex.cs, src/Butil/Bit.Butil.Demo/Server/Services/ButilSetupGuide.cs
The server discovers public Butil APIs, inspects browser capabilities, plans feature requirements, searches indexed content, and generates hosting-model setup guides.
Documentation rendering pipeline
src/Butil/Bit.Butil.Demo/Server/Services/DocsPageRenderer.cs, src/Butil/Bit.Butil.Demo/Server/Services/HtmlToMarkdownService.cs
Documentation components render through HtmlRenderer. HTML converts to normalized Markdown with support for blocks, links, lists, tables, and code fences.
MCP controllers and HTTP tools
src/Butil/Bit.Butil.Demo/Server/Controllers/McpController.cs, src/Butil/Bit.Butil.Demo/Server/Controllers/McpResources.cs, src/Butil/Bit.Butil.Demo/Server/Controllers/McpPrompts.cs
MCP and HTTP operations expose overview, search, setup, API inspection, capability planning, browser support, documentation, guide sections, source files, resources, and workflow prompts.
Server registration and interactive MCP client
src/Butil/Bit.Butil.Demo/Server/Program.cs, src/Butil/Bit.Butil.Demo/Client/Pages/McpServerPage.razor, src/Butil/Bit.Butil.Demo/Client/Shared/McpExchange.razor, src/Butil/Bit.Butil.Demo/Client/Shared/SearchBox.razor, src/Butil/Bit.Butil.Demo/Server/wwwroot/css/app.css, src/Butil/README.md
The application registers MCP services and routes. The /mcp-server page performs MCP and HTTP calls and displays exchanges. Header search, responsive styling, branding, and MCP endpoint documentation are updated.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to eba7b

This change adds MCP endpoints, documentation rendering, search, planning, and an interactive demo, but the current version can serve incorrectly origin-bound documentation, miss overload documentation, spend excessive CPU on large planning requests, expose server exception details, and fail resource requests containing escaped URI characters. The PR is not merge-ready until these bounded correctness, security, and runtime issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Set the HTTP transport mode explicitly.

Because these tools expose read-only documentation and do not require server-to-client requests, configure stateless transport explicitly. This avoids retaining unauthenticated MCP sessions in memory if version 2.1.0 uses the earlier stateful default. Verify the package behavior before merging. (github.com)

The resource path re-renders every read and drops the size cap.

McpController.GetButilDocsPage caches the rendered Markdown and applies Truncate with a 40,000-character cap. This resource does neither, so each read pays the full render cost, and a large page can exceed the cap that the tool path enforces for the same content.

Lines 129-130 also repeat the base-URI fallback from McpController.BaseUri (Lines 301-303). Extract that into one shared helper and route both paths through a single cached, truncated renderer, so the tool and the resource cannot diverge.

The first search request pays for the whole index build on the request thread.

_entries is lazy, and Build is reached only from Search. Build decodes every embedded resource, and it calls ButilApiCatalog.GetTypeDetails for every public type. That walk constructs instances, invokes public property getters and performs an XML lookup per member, which this project documents as roughly sixty services over a thousand members. The first MCP SearchButil call therefore blocks for the full cost, and every concurrent caller waits on the same Lazy.

Warm the index once at startup instead, for example from a background hosted service or a fire-and-forget task in Program.cs, so the first request serves an already-built index.

♻️ Proposed warm-up hook
+    /// <summary>Builds the index ahead of the first search, so no request pays for it.</summary>
+    public static void Warm() => _ = _entries.Value;

Then call it during startup in Program.cs:

Use an evicting cache for rendered pages.

AllowedHosts is "*", and the server has no host-filtering or forwarded-header configuration. A forged Host value can create unique cache entries and canonical URL origins. After _rendered reaches MaxCachedPages, later entries are not cached, so legitimate requests pay the rendering cost.

Use IMemoryCache with a size limit and per-entry size. Restrict AllowedHosts, and configure ForwardedHeaders behind a trusted proxy.

Each query scans the whole corpus once per term on the request thread.

Search scores every entry, and Score calls Count for each of up to 16 terms against Title, Boosted and Body. The guide sections and type summaries make the combined body text large, so one request can scan tens of megabytes of string data synchronously. MaxTerms bounds it, so this is not unbounded, but the cost per request is high for a demo endpoint.

Consider lowercasing the searchable text once at build time and matching with StringComparison.Ordinal, or building an inverted term index. OrdinalIgnoreCase IndexOf is the dominant cost here.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Section 5 is disabled when the MCP handshake fails, although it does not need MCP.

The section states that the HTTP mirror needs no handshake and no session. Both controls are gated on _tools.Count == 0, which is populated by tools/list. If /mcp is unreachable, the plain-GET demonstration - the one path that could still work - is unavailable, even though _httpTool and _httpQuery already hold valid defaults.

Consider keeping the button enabled and letting the select fall back to the default tool name.

Escape the resource URI before it goes into the envelope.

uri comes from a free-text input (line 159) and is interpolated straight into a JSON string. A URI that contains " or \ produces a malformed envelope, so the server answers with a JSON-RPC parse error. CallTool guards its free-text field for exactly this reason; this path does not.

🐛 Proposed fix
     private async Task ReadResource(string uri)
     {
         _resourceUri = uri;
 
-        (_extras, _) = await Rpc("resources/read", $$"""{ "uri": "{{uri}}" }""");
+        // Serialized rather than interpolated: a quote or a backslash in the field would
+        // otherwise leave the envelope unparseable and report a protocol error for a typo.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Bound the number of names Plan inspects.

Plan inspects every name it receives. McpController.PlanButilFeature splits the raw apis string on separators and applies no limit, so the caller controls the count. Each Inspect call performs linear scans over the type catalog and the navigation table, and each resolved type triggers a reflection walk in Disposables. A large comma-separated payload therefore turns one request into a long CPU-bound loop on a request thread.

Take a fixed maximum, and report the names that were dropped.

🛡️ Proposed fix
 public static ButilFeaturePlanDto Plan(IEnumerable<string> names)
 {
-    var inspections = names.Select(Inspect).ToArray();
+    // One feature is built on a handful of APIs. The input is caller-controlled, and each
+    // inspection costs a catalog scan plus a reflection walk, so it is capped here.
+    var inspections = names.Take(MaxPlannedApis).Select(Inspect).ToArray();
     var known = inspections.Where(i => i.IsKnown).ToArray();

🌐 Web query:

Does the .NET SDK copy a referenced project’s XML documentation file to the consuming project's build and publish output?

💡 Result:

Yes, the.NET SDK supports copying a referenced project’s XML documentation file to the build and publish output of the consuming project. The handling of XML documentation files depends on whether you are building or publishing the project. Build Output During a standard build, XML documentation files from referenced projects are generally not copied to the consuming project's bin directory by default unless specifically configured to do so. The compiler generates the documentation file in the referenced project's own output directory, but it is not automatically propagated to the transitive dependency output of the consuming project [1][2]. Publish Output When using the dotnet publish command, the.NET SDK is designed to copy the XML documentation files of project references to the publish directory by default [3][1]. Key MSBuild properties control this behavior: - PublishReferencesDocumentationFiles: This property determines whether XML documentation files for project references are copied to the publish directory [4]. It defaults to true, meaning the SDK will include these files in the publish output automatically [4][3]. - PublishDocumentationFile: This property controls whether the current project's own documentation file is included in its publish output. It also defaults to true [4]. If you find that these files are not appearing as expected, ensure that the referenced project has documentation generation enabled by setting GenerateDocumentationFile to true in its project file [4][5]. If you need to manually force the inclusion of specific files during a build, you can add them to the publish or copy-to-output pipeline by hooking into MSBuild targets, such as adding the file to the ResolvedFileToPublish item group [1].

Log the failure and do not return the raw exception message to the client.

exception.Message is returned to the MCP client through Unavailable. Rendering exceptions from Blazor components frequently contain type names, member names, and file paths. That is internal detail on a public endpoint.

Also, the catch swallows OperationCanceledException. A client disconnect or a host shutdown is then reported as a page-rendering fault.

Add an ILogger parameter, log the exception with the slug, and return a stable reason string.

Between 600px and 960px the field has almost no text area.

.header-search input keeps padding: 0 3.25rem 0 1.75rem from line 553, so a 9rem field leaves about 4rem for text. The placeholder "Search docs" and any typed query truncate immediately at this width. The 3.25rem right padding only reserves room for the shortcut hint, which is narrower than that.
