How can I use this with Semantic Kernel?

[Andrew Herrick (aherrick)]

See starter code below. Without being able to pass a PAT, what are the other options?

using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SemanticKernel;
using Microsoft.SemanticKernel.ChatCompletion;
using Microsoft.SemanticKernel.Connectors.OpenAI;
using ModelContextProtocol.Client;

#pragma warning disable SKEXP0001 // Type is for evaluation purposes only and is subject to change or removal in future updates. Suppress this diagnostic to proceed.

var kernel = Kernel
    .CreateBuilder()
    .AddAzureOpenAIChatCompletion(deploymentName: "gpt-4o", endpoint: "endpoint", apiKey: "key")
    .Build();

var promptExecutionSettings = new PromptExecutionSettings()
{
    FunctionChoiceBehavior = FunctionChoiceBehavior.Auto(),
};

var chatService = kernel.GetRequiredService<IChatCompletionService>();
var chatHistory = new ChatHistory(
    """
       You are an AI assistant who likes to follow the rules.
    """
);

var mcpClient = await McpClientFactory.CreateAsync(
    new StdioClientTransport(
        new StdioClientTransportOptions
        {
            Name = "ADO",
            Command = "npx",
            Arguments = ["-y", "@azure-devops/mcp"],
        }
    )
);

var tools = await mcpClient.ListToolsAsync();

kernel.Plugins.AddFromFunctions("ADO", tools.Select(aiFunction => aiFunction.AsKernelFunction()));

while (true)
{
    Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.White;
    Console.Write("User > ");
    chatHistory.AddUserMessage(Console.ReadLine());

    var updates = chatService.GetStreamingChatMessageContentsAsync(
        chatHistory,
        promptExecutionSettings,
        kernel
    );

    Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Green;
    Console.Write("Assistant > ");
    var sb = new StringBuilder();
    await foreach (var update in updates)
    {
        sb.Append(update.Content);
        Console.Write(update.Content);
    }

    chatHistory.AddAssistantMessage(sb.ToString());

    Console.WriteLine();
}

Sorry, no idea. I don't know if this is the right place to ask. I assume you would have the same problem with any local MCP Server.

Dan Hellem (@danhellem) thanks for the response. without PAT I don't believe there is a way that I know of which is extremely limiting, I want to use the functions for ADO MCP outside of VS Code for example.

SK + MCP is totally compatible, this is more a ADO MCP issue than a general SK + MCP issue IMO. The code I posted works fine, it just can't Auth to ADO. #179 #144

why was this was closed Dan Hellem (@danhellem) don't feel I got a full answer or discussion around this
