Google "c# call url problematically" and you'll find all sorts of ways to make a call to your MVC site's URLs, such as WebClient etc. Keep in mind security implications though, you'll probably want https as well as some way to encrypt the parameters you send.

Don't send the id to the application, send it via a REST call to the the server. If you need to see this in the client, have a SignalR setup that sends this information over from there.

Right, and that will simply just connect and capture the value. At this point, you have the NFC ID for that person.

my mvc web application (.net)

Where is it hosted? Online, or on the same machine? Does it have an API, or it requires a form submission?

There are so many ways in which you can submit the data to the web application, but web application dictates how you can upload the data. It does not matter from where you are sending the data—service can use the HttpClient object and upload the data to the web application. At the web application you have to support and provide an endpoint where data can be uploaded, and then web application can take it from there.

Take a look at following of my articles, that discuss a similar situation,
ASP.NET 5 Web API RESTful CRUDs and Windows 10 native application[^]
A Tip for Ajax Developers in ASP.NET MVC Framework[^]
