Copilot Summary

This pull request introduces a new .NET 9.0 web API project (AbeckDev.DbTimetable.Mcp) that acts as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for accessing the Deutsche Bahn Timetable API. It also adds a full development container and VS Code configuration for streamlined local development and debugging. The main changes include project scaffolding, service and tool implementation for the Deutsche Bahn API, and enhancements to the development environment.

Project scaffolding and Deutsche Bahn API integration:

• Added a new .NET 9.0 web project (AbeckDev.DbTimetable.Mcp) with configuration for the Deutsche Bahn Timetable API, including API key management and HTTP client setup. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
• Implemented TimeTableService to interact with the Deutsche Bahn API, providing methods to fetch timetable changes, station boards, and station information.
• Created MCP server tools and prompts to expose Deutsche Bahn API functionality via the MCP protocol, including error handling and input validation. [1] [2]

Development environment and tooling:

• Added a full devcontainer configuration with Node.js and Azure CLI features, port forwarding, and a post-create command to install the MCP Inspector globally.
• Added VS Code settings, tasks, and launch configurations for building, running, and debugging the MCP server with the Inspector tool. [1] [2] [3]
• Added solution and project files for Visual Studio compatibility. [1] [2]

These changes collectively provide a ready-to-use MCP server for Deutsche Bahn timetable data, with a robust local development setup.
