install_ilspy

Diagnostics

Install or update ilspycmd, the ILSpy command-line decompiler. This tool detects your platform and package manager, optionally installs the .NET SDK if it is missing, and then installs ilspycmd as a global .NET tool.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
`update`	`bool`	No	`false`	Update ilspycmd to the latest version even if already installed
`install_dotnet_sdk`	`bool`	No	`false`	Attempt to install the .NET SDK if it is missing (may require sudo)

Supported Platforms

Platform	Package Manager
Arch / Manjaro / EndeavourOS	`pacman`
Ubuntu / Debian / Mint	`apt`
Fedora / RHEL / CentOS	`dnf`
openSUSE	`zypper`
macOS	`homebrew`
Windows	`winget` / `chocolatey`

Example

MCP JSON
Python

{
  "tool": "install_ilspy",
  "arguments": {
    "install_dotnet_sdk": true
  }
}

result = await client.call_tool("install_ilspy", {
    "install_dotnet_sdk": True,
})

Response

On success, reports the installed version and path. On failure, returns platform-specific instructions for manual installation. If the .NET SDK is missing and install_dotnet_sdk is not set, the response includes the recommended install command for your detected platform.
