dotsider-mcp 0.4.3, released by willibrandon as the fourth iteration of the project, is a specialized Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to embed the dotsider .NET assembly analysis engine inside AI-powered development environments. Occupying the Developer-Tools category, the software exposes 28 discrete tools that let Claude Code, VS Code Copilot and comparable assistants interrogate compiled .NET binaries without leaving the chat window. Functions range from high-level assembly analysis, IL disassembly and rich metadata inspection to granular tasks such as generating dependency graphs, quantifying size footprints, extracting embedded strings, performing assembly diffing and capturing runtime traces. By translating these operations into a standardized MCP interface, dotsider-mcp enables conversational requests like “compare the API surface of these two builds,” “visualize package dependencies” or “trace assembly loading events,” returning structured data that the AI can immediately interpret and relay to the developer. The approach streamlines reverse engineering, security auditing, performance tuning and migration planning workflows because engineers no longer need to switch between disassemblers, profilers and documentation; instead, they delegate exploration to the AI, review the summarized output and iterate in plain language. The server runs headlessly alongside the IDE, listens on a local MCP endpoint, and is version-locked to the dotsider analysis core to guarantee consistent results across sessions. dotsider-mcp is available for free on wget.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
