| 7 | ## Packages |
| 8 | |
| 9 | The SDK packages are: |
| 10 | |
| 11 | - **[ModelContextProtocol.Core](https://www.nuget.org/packages/ModelContextProtocol.Core)** [](https://www.nuget.org/packages/ModelContextProtocol.Core) - For projects that only need to use the client or low-level server APIs and want the minimum number of dependencies. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | - **[ModelContextProtocol](https://www.nuget.org/packages/ModelContextProtocol)** [](https://www.nuget.org/packages/ModelContextProtocol) - The main package with hosting and dependency injection extensions. References `ModelContextProtocol.Core`. This is the right fit for most projects that don't need HTTP server capabilities. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | - **[ModelContextProtocol.AspNetCore](https://www.nuget.org/packages/ModelContextProtocol.AspNetCore)** [](https://www.nuget.org/packages/ModelContextProtocol.AspNetCore) - The library for HTTP-based MCP servers. References `ModelContextProtocol`. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | - **[ModelContextProtocol.Extensions.Apps](https://www.nuget.org/packages/ModelContextProtocol.Extensions.Apps)** [](https://www.nuget.org/packages/ModelContextProtocol.Extensions.Apps) - MCP Apps extension for building interactive UI applications that render inside MCP hosts. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | - **[ModelContextProtocol.Extensions.Tasks](https://www.nuget.org/packages/ModelContextProtocol.Extensions.Tasks)** [](https://www.nuget.org/packages/ModelContextProtocol.Extensions.Tasks) - MCP Tasks extension for running long-running tool invocations asynchronously with status polling and input requests. |

| 27 | ## About MCP |
| 28 | |
| 29 | The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to Large Language Models (LLMs). It enables secure integration between LLMs and various data sources and tools. |

| 38 | ## Cross-Application Access (Identity Assertion Authorization Grant flow) |
| 39 | |
| 40 | The SDK provides support for the [Identity Assertion Authorization Grant flow](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/ext-auth/blob/main/specification/draft/enterprise-managed-authorization.mdx) |
| 41 | via `IdentityAssertionGrantProvider`. See the [Cross-Application Access](docs/concepts/transports/transports.md#cross-application-access) section in the transport docs for full usage details. |
