AI agents: use the documentation index at llms.txt to locate machine-readable pages. This section is indexed by https://docs.particular.net/nservicebus/llms.txt. The markdown version of this page is served as plain text. An MCP server at /mcp serves the same content via the search_docs and read_doc tools; it is read-only and needs no credentials. Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending .md to the page URL. Directory URLs use index.md. They are served as text/plain because some retrieval backends reject text/markdown.

Message Handling Pipeline

Component:
NServiceBus
NuGet Package:
NServiceBus 10.x

NServiceBus uses the concept of pipelines. A pipeline refers to the series of actions taken as a result of the triggering action.

For example:

  • The incoming pipeline is triggered due to an incoming message
  • The outgoing pipeline is triggered due to an outgoing message
  • The recoverability pipeline is triggered due to failure during processing

Pipeline customization

There are several ways to customize the pipelines with varying levels of complexity.

Unit testing of custom extensions is supported by the NServiceBus.Testing library.
