Consider to integrate Semantic Kernel with MCP for enhanced functionality.

Yeah, .NET developers now have two AI options:

• Semantic Kernel
• Microsoft.Extensions.AI

Since an extension of Microsoft.Extensions.AI has been added to this repository, are there plans to support Semantic Kernel?

I'd be interested in contributing to this effort. Thank you.

Possible implementation, see:

We're not planning to add any SK integrations in this repo. The core library tightly integrates (and will more) with Microsoft.Extensions.*, including Microsoft.Extensions.AI, which serve as the abstractions and a exchange types for this domain, and which enable integrations with SK to be easily layered on top, eg all the boilerplate that gets removed in the SK sample at microsoft/semantic-kernel#11121. I expect any further SK-focused integrations to live in the SK repo, with this repo ensuring the primitives exist to keep the required boilerplate at that level minimal.
