AI Agents in C# and .NET

Build autonomous AI agents — from single-agent patterns to multi-agent orchestration with Microsoft Agent Framework and MCP integration.

What You'll Learn

  • Design agent architectures: memory, tools, reasoning loops
  • Build agents with Semantic Kernel and Microsoft Agent Framework
  • Implement multi-agent orchestration patterns
  • Integrate MCP servers as agent tool providers
  • Deploy production agents with checkpointing and observability

Prerequisites

  • C# and .NET 8+
  • Semantic Kernel basics (see Semantic Kernel path)
  • Azure OpenAI API access
