Pull request overview

This PR removes the obsolete mcpserver project template and all of its associated integration tests/snapshots from dotnet/extensions, while keeping unrelated ModelContextProtocol usage (e.g., ModelContextProtocol.Core) intact. This aligns the repo with the template now being sourced from dotnet/aspnetcore.

Changes:

  • Removed the Microsoft.McpServer.ProjectTemplates template package and its template content.
  • Removed the dedicated template integration test project and all snapshot baselines.
  • Removed template-specific package version entries and documentation references to dotnet new mcpserver.
