An example usage of Microsoft Semantic Kernel with OpenAI and the The official C# SDK for the Model Context Protocol which can be found at https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/csharp-sdk

Prerequisites

A SMTP Email Server (for the EmailTools) An OpenAI ApiKey

How to run the sample

1. Use your OpenAI Developer Dashboard to get an ApiKey. 2. Fill out the appsettings for each separate project. 3. The email addresses that you can send emails to are hardcoded as a dictionary inside Tools/EmailTool.cs. Update the dictionary with your email list. Feel free to make this a setting. 4. Run the project. The default launchSettings are set to http://localhost:5109
