You need the so called custom designer for your MVC widget.

Check this article for all the steps/details you need:

UPDATE: Here is Github Gist with working code: https://gist.github.com/VesselinVassilev/31b159a1985f272e85b4ff167e59c8d8

Note: the DemoController.cs file should be in the /mvc/controllers folder the rest of the files should go to the /mvc/views/demo/ folder.
