+# SyncfusionWinFormsAssistant MCP Server
+
+## Overview
+
+The [SyncfusionWinFormsAssistant](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@syncfusion/winforms-assistant) is a specialized [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/getting-started/intro) server that provides intelligent assistance for developers using Syncfusion's Windows Forms component libraries. This tool seamlessly integrates with compatible [MCP clients](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/clients) to enhance your development workflow when building .NET Windows Forms applications with Syncfusion<sup style="font-size:70%">&reg;</sup> components.
+
+### Key Benefits
+
+* Intelligent code generation for Syncfusion<sup style="font-size:70%">&reg;</sup> Windows Forms components.
+* Detailed component documentation and usage examples.
+* Troubleshooting assistance for common integration challenges.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before using [SyncfusionWinFormsAssistant](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@syncfusion/winforms-assistant), ensure you have:
+
+* Required [node](https://nodejs.org/en/) version >= 18
+* A [compatible MCP client](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/clients) (VS Code with GitHub Copilot, [Syncfusion<sup style="font-size:70%">&reg;</sup> CodeStudio](https://www.syncfusion.com/code-studio/), etc.)
+* An active Syncfusion<sup style="font-size:70%">&reg;</sup> license (any of the following):
+  - [Commercial License](https://www.syncfusion.com/sales/unlimitedlicense)
+  - [Free Community License](https://www.syncfusion.com/products/communitylicense)
+  - [Free Trial](https://www.syncfusion.com/account/manage-trials/start-trials)
+* An active [API KEY](https://syncfusion.com/account/api-key)
+
+## Unlimited Access
+
+Syncfusion<sup style="font-size:70%">&reg;</sup> offers unlimited access to this MCP server. There are no restrictions on:
+
+* Number of requests
+* Components usage
+* Query types
+* Usage duration
+
+This ensures users can fully leverage Syncfusion<sup style="font-size:70%">&reg;</sup> components to enhance their development experience without limitations.
+
+## Installation and setup
+
+Before you can invoke the `SyncfusionWinFormsAssistant` MCP server, you need to configure your MCP client with these core settings. The **Generic MCP Server Settings** shown below are identical across all clients:
+
+### Generic MCP Server Settings
+
+- **npm package name**: `@syncfusion/winforms-assistant`
+- **Type**: stdio (standard input/output transport)
+- **Command**: npx
+- **Arguments**: -y
+- **Server name**: SyncfusionWinFormsAssistant
+
+You need to add your [Syncfusion API key](https://syncfusion.com/account/api-key) as an env parameter in the configuration file:
+
+```json
+"env": {
+  "Syncfusion_API_Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
+}
+```
+
+Below are setup instructions for popular MCP clients:
+
+### Syncfusion<sup style="font-size:70%">&reg;</sup> Code Studio
+
+* In [Code Studio](https://www.syncfusion.com/code-studio/), open MCP Marketplace and navigate to the `Custom Servers` tab.
+* Enter the Server Name as `winforms-mcp`, choose Server Type as npm package, and set the NPM Package name to `@syncfusion/winforms-assistant`.
+* Add an environment variable as `Syncfusion_API_Key` and value as your [Syncfusion API key](https://syncfusion.com/account/api-key), then click **Install Server**.
+* Once installed, the server will appear in the User Installed Server list, and will be added to the **config.yaml** file.
+* The server is now ready for use in Code Studio. For more details, refer to the [Code Studio documentation](https://help.syncfusion.com/code-studio/reference/configure-properties/mcp/customservers#npm-server).
+
+### Visual Studio Code (GitHub Copilot MCP)
+
+* To configure an MCP server for a specific workspace, you can create a `.vscode/mcp.json` file in your workspace folder.
+
+```json
+{
+  "servers": {
+    "syncfusion-winforms-assistant": {
+      "type": "stdio",
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": [
+        "-y",
+        "@syncfusion/winforms-assistant@latest"
+      ],
+      "env": {
+        "Syncfusion_API_Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+* After updating the configuration in mcp.json, you'll notice a "Start" option at the top of the config. This allows you to easily start the [SyncfusionWinFormsAssistant](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@syncfusion/winforms-assistant) server directly from the settings interface without additional commands.
+
+* Confirm the server is active by checking for a message like: `SyncfusionWinFormsAssistant is running...` in the output.
+
+* For additional guidance, refer to the [VS Code documentation](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/customization/mcp-servers#_add-an-mcp-server).
+
+### Visual Studio (GitHub Copilot MCP)
+
+* To configure an MCP server for a specific workspace, you can create a `.vs/mcp.json` file in your workspace folder.
+
+```json
+{
+  "servers": {
+    "syncfusion-winforms-assistant": {
+      "type": "stdio",
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": [
+        "-y",
+        "@syncfusion/winforms-assistant@latest"
+      ],
+      "env": {
+        "Syncfusion_API_Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+* After updating the mcp.json configuration, open the GitHub Copilot Chat window. Click the Ask arrow, then select Agent.
+* Select the [SyncfusionWinFormsAssistant](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@syncfusion/winforms-assistant) from the tools section.
+* For more details, refer to the official [Visual Studio documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/mcp-servers?view=vs-2022).
+
+### Cursor
+
+To configure an MCP server for a specific workspace, you can create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your workspace folder.
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "syncfusion-winforms-assistant": {
+      "type": "stdio",
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": [
+        "-y",
+        "@syncfusion/winforms-assistant@latest"
+      ],
+      "env": {
+       "Syncfusion_API_Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+For more details, refer to the [Cursor documentation](https://cursor.com/docs/context/mcp#using-mcp-json).
+
+### JetBrains IDEs
+
+* Go to Settings -> Tools -> AI Assistant -> Model Context Protocol (MCP).
+* Click + Add to add a new MCP server configuration.
+* In the New MCP Server dialog, switch the dropdown as `As JSON` and add the following config:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "syncfusion-winforms-assistant": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": [
+        "-y",
+        "@syncfusion/winforms-assistant@latest"
+      ],
+      "env": {
+       "Syncfusion_API_Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+* Click OK and Apply.
+
+For further assistance, see the [JetBrains documentation](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/ai-assistant/mcp.html#connect-to-an-mcp-server).
+
+> For more detailed information about configuring MCP servers in various clients, refer to the official documentations, e.g., [Windsurf](https://docs.windsurf.com/windsurf/cascade/mcp#mcp-config-json)
+
+## Usage
+
+To activate the SyncfusionWinFormsAssistant MCP server:
+
+1. Start your prompt with one of the following:
+    * 'SyncfusionWinFormsAssistant'
+    * '/syncfusion-winforms-assistant'
+    * '/syncfusion-winforms'
+    * '@syncfusion-winforms'
+    * '@ask_syncfusion_winforms'
+    * 'winforms'
+
+   In VS Code, you can also use #SyncfusionWinFormsAssistant for direct invocation.
+
+2. Grant permission for the server to run (for the session, workspace, or always).
+3. For best results, start a new chat for each new topic to maintain clean context.
+
+### Mode availability
+
+Syncfusion<sup style="font-size:70%">&reg;</sup> MCP Servers provide full access to all AI interaction modes — Ask/Chat, Edit, and Agent — across supported MCP clients.
+
+### Best Practices for Effective Usage
+
+1. `Be specific`: Mention both platform and component (e.g., "How do I create a Syncfusion Windows Forms DataGrid with paging and filtering?").
+2. `Provide context`: Include details about your use case for more targeted solutions.
+3. `Use descriptive queries`: Avoid vague questions that lack necessary context.
+4. `Start fresh for new topics`: Begin a new chat session when switching components or topics.
+
+### Example Queries
+
+Here are some effective ways to use [SyncfusionWinFormsAssistant](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@syncfusion/winforms-assistant):
+
+ * "Create a Syncfusion Windows Forms DataGrid component with paging, sorting and filtering"
+ * "How do I implement data binding with Syncfusion Windows Forms Scheduler?"
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If you encounter issues:
+
+ * Verify your API key is correctly configured.
+ * Ensure the MCP server is enabled in your client's tools selection.
+ * Check that you're using a compatible MCP client version.
+ * Try restarting your development environment.
