Error: 'AddDbContext' was called with configuration, but the context type 'MyDbContext' only declares a parameterless constructor.

I'm using migration in ASP.NET Core 3.1 and EntityFramework Core 3.1 to init database but when I run Add-Migration command I got the error bellow:

An error occurred while accessing the Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting services. Continuing without the application service provider. Error: 'AddDbContext' was called with configuration, but the context type 'MyDbContext' only declares a parameterless constructor. This means that the configuration passed to 'AddDbContext' will never be used. If configuration is passed to 'AddDbContext', then 'MyDbContext' should declare a constructor that accepts a DbContextOptions<MyDbContext> and must pass it to the base constructor for DbContext.
System.InvalidOperationException: No database provider has been configured for this DbContext. A provider can be configured by overriding the 'DbContext.OnConfiguring' method or by using 'AddDbContext' on the application service provider. If 'AddDbContext' is used, then also ensure that your DbContext type accepts a DbContextOptions<TContext> object in its constructor and passes it to the base constructor for DbContext.

I want to show my code MyDbContext.cs

 public class MyDbContext : DbContext
{
    public DbSet<Category> Categories { get; set; }
    public DbSet<Product> Products { get; set; }
}

Startup.cs

 public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddControllers();
    services.AddDbContext<MyDbContext>(options =>
    {
        options.UseSqlServer(Configuration.GetConnectionString("EShopConnectionString"));
    });
}

Do you have any idea, guys?

    Maybe you don't define the constructor of MyDbContext class 

    So DbContext didn't receive any information when you call AddDbContext in Startup.cs. You push UseSqlServer to MyDbContext but DbContext didn't receive this information

    public MyDbContext(DbContextOptions<MyDbContext> options) : base(options)
    {
    
    }

    It will help DbContext have enough information including the type of database (you're using SQL Server), connectionString also
