/dotnet:setup-aspire

Install the .NET Aspire CLI, required for the aspire MCP server.

Workflow

Step 1: Check current state

dotnet tool list -g | grep -i aspire || echo "Aspire CLI not installed"

Step 2: Install

dotnet tool install --global aspire.cli

If already installed and needs updating:

dotnet tool update --global aspire.cli

Step 3: Verify

aspire --version

Step 4: Report

Tell the user to restart Claude Code so the aspire MCP server can reconnect with the now-available CLI tool.
