About Microsoft NuGet

Microsoft NuGet is an MCP server published by microsoft.com. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for NuGet.

It runs on your own machine: your AI client starts it from the NuGet package NuGet.Mcp.Server at version 1.4.16.

It asks for no keys or passwords.

Version 1.4.16 was published on 1 July 2026, and the source code is public, so you can read it before installing.

Written from the registry entry. 7 automated checks on registry metadata: 4 pass, 0 warn, 0 fail, 3 info. How we check.

What it asks for

This server declares no environment variables, so it asks for no keys or settings.
