This MCP server provides two powerful text transformation tools:
1. CapitalCase Tool (capital_case)
- Converts text to Capital Case (Title Case) format
- Handles camelCase/PascalCase by intelligently adding spaces
- Example: "camelCaseExample" → "Camel Case Example"
2. SnakeCase Tool (snake_case)
- Converts text to snake_case format
- Handles camelCase, PascalCase, and spaces
- Example: "HelloWorld" → "hello_world"
- .NET 9.0 SDK or later
- Claude Desktop (for testing MCP integration)
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"text-transform": {
"command": "dotnet",
"args": [
"run",
"--project",
"/path/to/your/test-mcp-server/McpServer.csproj",
"--no-build"
]
}
}
}
Replace /path/to/your/test-mcp-server with your actual project path:
Windows example:
{
"mcpServers": {
"text-transform": {
"command": "dotnet",
"args": [
"run",
"--project",
"C:\\Users\\YourName\\projects\\test-mcp-server\\McpServer.csproj",
"--no-build"
]
}
}
}
macOS/Linux example:
{
"mcpServers": {
"text-transform": {
"command": "dotnet",
"args": [
"run",
"--project",
"/home/username/projects/test-mcp-server/McpServer.csproj",
"--no-build"
]
}
}
}
Important notes:
- Use absolute paths to the McpServer.csproj file
- Use double backslashes (\\) on Windows for JSON escaping
- Ensure the project file path exists
- The --no-build flag speeds up server startup (recommended)
Location of config file:
- Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
- macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
- Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Exact configuration format:
{
"mcpServers": {
"text-transform": {
"command": "dotnet",
"args": [
"run",
"--project",
"/path/to/your/test-mcp-server/McpServer.csproj",
"--no-build"
]
}
}
}
Replace /path/to/your/test-mcp-server with your actual project path:
Windows:
"args": [
"run",
"--project",
"C:\\Users\\YourName\\projects\\test-mcp-server\\McpServer.csproj",
"--no-build"
]
macOS/Linux:
"args": [
"run",
"--project",
"/home/username/projects/test-mcp-server/McpServer.csproj",
"--no-build"
]
Important notes:
- Use absolute paths to the McpServer.csproj file
- Use double backslashes (\\) on Windows for JSON escaping
- Ensure the project file path exists and is correct
- The command should be dotnet (not full path)
The server provides these text transformation capabilities:
Input: "camelCaseExample"
├── CapitalCase → "Camel Case Example"
└── SnakeCase → "camel_case_example"
Input: "Hello World"
├── CapitalCase → "Hello World"
└── SnakeCase → "hello_world"
To add new MCP tools, simply add methods to the TextTransformTools class:
[McpServerTool]
[Description("Your tool description")]
public static string YourTool([Description("Input parameter")] string input)
{
// Your transformation logic
return transformedText;
}
echo '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 2, "method": "tools/list"}' | dotnet run
echo '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 3, "method": "tools/call", "params": {"name": "CapitalCase", "arguments": {"text": "hello world"}}}' | dotnet run
```
Check Claude Desktop logs:
- Windows: Look in Event Viewer or Claude's application data folder
- macOS: Use Console.app to view logs
- Linux: Check system logs or run Claude from terminal

✨ Features
This MCP server provides two powerful text transformation tools:
1. CapitalCase Tool (capital_case)
- Converts text to Capital Case (Title Case) format
- Handles camelCase/PascalCase by intelligently adding spaces
- Example: "camelCaseExample" → "Camel Case Example"

🏗️ Architecture
This project uses the official Model Context Protocol SDK and follows modern C# practices:
- MCP Protocol Compliance: Uses ModelContextProtocol NuGet package
- STDIO Transport: Communicates via standard input/output (JSON-RPC)
- Attribute-Based Tools: Simple [McpServerTool] decoration
- Dependency Injection: Built-in .NET DI container
- Structured Logging: Configured for MCP compatibility (stderr)
- Modern C# Features: .NET 9, nullable reference types, async patterns
