What is Mythetech.Framework?

Mythetech.Framework is a collection of reusable Blazor components, infrastructure services, and platform abstractions that extend MudBlazor functionality. It provides everything you need to build cross-platform desktop and web applications.

Key Features

• Custom Components — Extend MudBlazor with additional UI components
• MessageBus — In-memory publish-subscribe and request-response messaging
• Plugin Framework — Dynamic extensibility with component discovery
• Settings Framework — UI editor discovery and persistence
• MCP Integration — Expose application functionality as AI-callable tools
• Cross-Platform — Support for desktop (via Hermes/Photino) and WebAssembly

Installation

# Core framework
dotnet add package Mythetech.Framework

# Desktop-specific (optional)
dotnet add package Mythetech.Framework.Desktop

# WebAssembly-specific (optional)
dotnet add package Mythetech.Framework.WebAssembly

Quick Start

// Program.cs
using Mythetech.Framework;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Add MudBlazor and Framework services
builder.Services.AddMudServices();
builder.Services.AddMessageBus();
builder.Services.AddPluginFramework();
builder.Services.AddMcp(options =>
{
    options.ServerName = "MyApp";
    options.ServerVersion = "1.0.0";
});

var app = builder.Build();

// Initialize services
app.Services.UseMessageBus();
app.Services.UseMcp();
await app.Services.UsePluginsAsync("plugins");

app.Run();
