Maybe this will get you started:

How to call a service without adding service reference at design time[^]

I think the Service Model Metadata Utility Tool (SvcUtil.exe) should be able to generate a configuration file for client use.

When a WCF service exposes HTTP endpoints through basic HTTP bindings, it follows the classical SOAP convention of being SOAP web service, and excepts a SOAP envelope as HTTP request payload. If you don't want to pre-create client proxies and still want to invoke the request, you need to programmatically create the SOAP envelope and invoke an HTTP request using any of the HTTP client(e.g. System.Net.WebClient).
