Livraria FAQs

Question 1

What is Livraria and its primary purpose?

Accepted Answer

Livraria is a .NET solution that offers a REST API for managing books and categories. Its primary purpose is to expose these API functionalities as 'tools' to AI models (like Claude or Cursor) using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling AI to interact with the system via natural language.

Question 2

What kind of operations can AI perform on books and categories using Livraria?

Accepted Answer

AI models can perform a full range of CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on books, including listing all books (with optional title filtering), getting a book by ID, adding new books, updating existing ones (even just the price), and deleting books. They can also list book categories.

Question 3

What database providers are supported by Livraria?

Accepted Answer

Livraria is built with Entity Framework Core and supports multiple database providers. You can configure it to use an in-memory database for quick setup, SQL Server, or PostgreSQL, offering flexibility for different deployment scenarios.

Question 4

What are the core technologies used in Livraria?

Accepted Answer

Livraria is built on modern Microsoft technologies, including .NET 10 and ASP.NET Core for the REST API. It uses Entity Framework Core for data persistence and integrates with AI systems through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) via stdio transport.

Question 5

How does Livraria enable AI models to manage book data?

Accepted Answer

Livraria includes a DotNetMCPServer that acts as an MCP server. This server exposes CRUD operations and category lookup as specific tools. AI models connect to this server via stdio transport, allowing them to invoke these tools and manage book data through natural language commands.
