MCP Server for WPF HTML Editor

Let's make it simple

Adding an MCP server is simpler than you think.

No JSON file to edit, no settings menu to hunt through. Open your AI assistant's chat in agent mode and ask for it:

Add the MCP server at https://mcp.spicelogic.com/html-editor/wpf

The assistant does it itself. Reload Visual Studio, VS Code, or whichever tool you use, and it starts answering from the real WPF HTML Editor API instead of guessing. That is the whole setup.

Everything below is reference, for anyone who would rather wire it up by hand.

What the server is

SpiceLogic publishes an official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the WPF HTML Editor control at https://mcp.spicelogic.com/html-editor/wpf using the Streamable HTTP transport. It gives AI coding tools direct, verified access to the control's documentation, public API, current samples, NuGet package details, and licensing guidance, so they build against the real product rather than stale training data.

It is a remote, read-only endpoint over HTTPS. Nothing is installed on the developer machine, no account is created, and no API key is required. The endpoint is scoped to WPF only, so an assistant connected here cannot accidentally answer with the WinForms API. The shared https://mcp.spicelogic.com/html-editor endpoint exposes both controls, but the product-specific URL is the safer default.

If you are still curious, here is the by-hand setup

Nobody needs this part. Skip it unless you like knowing exactly what gets written where, or your assistant could not do it for you. It works the same in Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, Google Antigravity, and other MCP-compatible tools, and the URL never changes.

Visual Studio (GitHub Copilot)

Visual Studio 2026, or Visual Studio 2022 version 17.14 and later.

Open Copilot Chat from View > GitHub Copilot Chat, then click Select tools and skills, the tools icon under the chat box.
Choose Add MCP Server, then Add custom MCP server.
Destination: keep Global - Available in all solutions to get the server in every solution, or choose the solution-scoped file to commit it for your team.
Server ID: spicelogic-wpf-editor. Type: HTTP. URL: https://mcp.spicelogic.com/html-editor/wpf. Leave Headers empty, because the endpoint is public and takes no key.
Save, switch the chat to Agent mode, and tick the SpiceLogic tools in that same tools list.

Choosing HTTP is what turns the Command box into the URL box, and Environment Variables into Headers; stdio is for servers that run as a local process. A newly added server arrives switched off, listed under Added as (0/6), and its six tools stay invisible to the agent until you enable them.

The Add custom MCP server dialog in Visual Studio, filled in for the SpiceLogic WPF HTML Editor MCP server: type HTTP and the product URL.

The same registration in JSON, for anyone who would rather write the file. Visual Studio reads <solution>\.mcp.json, %USERPROFILE%\.mcp.json for every solution, and <solution>\.vs\mcp.json for a machine-local setup:

{
  "servers": {
    "spicelogic-wpf-editor": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.spicelogic.com/html-editor/wpf"
    }
  }
}

That file is also where a server is removed: delete its entry from the .mcp.json it was saved to.

VS Code (GitHub Copilot Chat)

Add this to .vscode/mcp.json, or run "MCP: Open User Configuration" for every workspace. VS Code uses servers and requires "type": "http" for this remote server:

{
  "servers": {
    "spicelogic-wpf-editor": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.spicelogic.com/html-editor/wpf"
    }
  }
}

Switch Copilot Chat from Ask to Agent mode to use the MCP tools.

GitHub Copilot CLI

copilot mcp add --transport http spicelogic-wpf-editor https://mcp.spicelogic.com/html-editor/wpf

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http spicelogic-wpf-editor https://mcp.spicelogic.com/html-editor/wpf

Claude Desktop

Open Settings, choose Connectors, choose Add custom connector, paste https://mcp.spicelogic.com/html-editor/wpf, and add it.

Cursor

Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json, or .cursor/mcp.json inside a project:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spicelogic-wpf-editor": {
      "url": "https://mcp.spicelogic.com/html-editor/wpf"
    }
  }
}

OpenAI Codex

Add it from the terminal:

codex mcp add spicelogic-wpf-editor --url https://mcp.spicelogic.com/html-editor/wpf

Or add it to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.spicelogic-wpf-editor]
url = "https://mcp.spicelogic.com/html-editor/wpf"

Google Antigravity

Open the MCP Servers panel, choose "Manage MCP Servers", then "View raw config". Add this to the global ~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json file or the workspace .agents/mcp_config.json file. Antigravity uses serverUrl for a remote Streamable HTTP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spicelogic-wpf-editor": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.spicelogic.com/html-editor/wpf"
    }
  }
}

Reload the MCP list and confirm that the six SpiceLogic tools are available.

What your assistant gets

Tool	Example query
`search_docs(product, query)`	"search_docs wpf spell checker dictionary"
`get_doc_page(product, slug)`	"get_doc_page wpf custom toolbar button"
`get_api(product, symbol)`	"get_api wpf WpfHtmlEditor"
`get_quickstart(product)`	"get_quickstart wpf"
`get_licensing(product)`	"get_licensing wpf"
`get_sample(product, task)`	"get_sample wpf insert an image"

On this product-specific endpoint, product is optional and the URL always selects WPF. API and quickstart answers are generated from the shipped NuGet package and its XML documentation comments on every release.

The server is rate limited per IP address. A companion llms.txt file provides a plain-text index for assistants that do not use MCP tool calls.

Try it with one prompt

Add the MCP server at https://mcp.spicelogic.com/html-editor/wpf. Then create a small WPF app, install SpiceLogic.HtmlEditor.WPF, add the HTML editor to the main window, load a heading and a short bulleted list, add a button that inserts today's date, build it, and run it.
