BPT MCP Server
A self-contained Model Context Protocol server that turns any MCP-aware AI client into a BlazorPowerTools expert.
A BPT expert, packaged as a Docker image
The BPT MCP Server bakes the entire BlazorPowerTools skill corpus into a lightweight Linux image (~50 MB) and exposes it over the Model Context Protocol's Streamable-HTTP transport. Connect Claude Desktop, Cline, Cursor, Continue, or any other MCP client and your AI assistant becomes a BPT specialist with grounded knowledge of every component, parameter, and pattern.
Active license required
The BPT MCP Server is available to licensed BlazorPowerTools users. Sign in to download.
What's inside
Each release ships an MCP server with the complete BPT skill corpus baked in:
- bpt-controls.md — every form control (CheckBox, Dropdown, Slider, …)
- bpt-images-animation.md — Image, AnimationEffect, Background, Carousel, ObjectDetector
- bpt-tools.md — ServerMonitor, TerminalClient, ThemeBuilder, DataFlow, LandingPage, ImageEditor
- bpt-devtools.md — render diagnostics, browser size, element tracking
- bpt-ai.md — speech, transcription, text generation, the reusable
BptAiChatPanel - bpt-image-editor.md — the full BptImageEditor reference
- bpt-landing-page.md — the BptLandingPage visual builder
How to run
- Download the zip above and extract it.
- Load the image into your local Docker engine:
cd bpt-mcp-server- bash load.sh - Start the server:
docker run --rm -p 7180:7180 bpt-mcp-server: - Verify it's healthy:
curl http://localhost:7180/healthshould return{"status":"ok","skills":8}. - Connect any MCP client to
http://localhost:7180/mcp(see the snippets below).
MCP client configuration
Claude Desktop / Cline / Cursor / Continue
Add an entry to your client's MCP config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"bpt-expert": {
"url": "http://localhost:7180/mcp",
"transport": "http"
}
}
}
Once connected, your assistant has full access to:
- Every BPT skill as an MCP resource (URI scheme
bpt-skill://) - The
bpt_expert_guidanceprompt, which injects every skill as grounding context for any BPT question
Smoke test with the official MCP Inspector
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector
Connect the inspector to http://localhost:7180/mcp. The Resources tab should list every skill file; the Prompts tab should show bpt_expert_guidance.
Security
By default, the server binds to 0.0.0.0 with no auth — fine for a developer running
it locally on a single workstation. If the container is reachable beyond localhost:
- Bind to localhost only:
-p 127.0.0.1:7180:7180 - Or require a bearer token:
-e MCP_AUTH_TOKEN="$(openssl rand -hex 24)"and add"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" }to your client config.

We're working on a license-gated hosted instance at https://mcp.blazorpowertools.com/mcp
for users who'd rather not manage Docker. Status updates will be posted here. The downloadable
image always reflects the latest release; the hosted instance follows the same release cadence
and is always at parity with the latest published version.
