Orchard Core is an open-source, modular, multi-tenant application framework and CMS built on ASP.NET Core.

We’ve already integrated a variety of powerful modules into OrchardCore, which can be explored here: [CrestApps.OrchardCore GitHub Repository](https://github.com/CrestApps/CrestApps.OrchardCore). Today, we are excited to announce the addition of full MCP support. This new feature enables users to seamlessly connect their AI profiles with any MCP connection via a user-friendly interface.

This integration was made possible thanks to the incredible [Model Context Protocol C# SDK](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/csharp-sdk/). A huge thank you to the developers behind this project for their hard work and ongoing contributions!

To get started, check out our detailed installation and setup guide for the MCP module in your OrchardCore project: [Installation Guide](https://github.com/CrestApps/CrestApps.OrchardCore/blob/main/src/Modules/CrestApps.OrchardCore.AI.Mcp/README.md).

We’d love to hear your feedback, so feel free to share your thoughts! 🙂
