Working with .NET Aspire 13
For AI Assistants: Use MCP Tools
CRITICAL: When helping users debug Aspire applications, use the Aspire MCP tools instead of curl, external HTTP calls, or suggesting manual dashboard inspection.
| Task | MCP Tool | NOT This |
|---|---|---|
| Check resource status | list_resources |
❌ curl to dashboard API |
| Get service logs | list_console_logs |
❌ curl, docker logs |
| View traces | list_traces |
❌ curl to OTLP endpoint |
| Find errors in traces | list_trace_structured_logs |
❌ manual dashboard search |
| List available AppHosts | list_apphosts |
❌ file system search |
If MCP is not configured, guide the user to run aspire mcp init in their AppHost directory.
