MVC 5 bootstrap dropdown with dynamic anchors

i want to add li elements to this bootstrap dropdown from database

     <div class="navbar-collapse collapse">
            <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
                <li>@Html.ActionLink("Home", "Index", "Home")</li>

                <li class="dropdown">
                    <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">Apps<b class="caret"></b></a>
                    <ul class="dropdown-menu">
                        <li><a href="#">App 1</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">App 2</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">App 3</a></li>            
                    </ul>
                </li>
            </ul>
        </div>

The objective is to populate the anchor with a path for a different application so user can redirect to applications it has access to. Although, I'm not sure how can i populate this.

Note. It is possible to be more apps because Administrators will be able to add more apps for users to access in database

Imagine your application model is

public class App
{
    public string Url { get; set; }

    public string Name { get; set; }
}

And you passed application collection as List<App> you can do the following

<ul class="dropdown-menu">
    @foreach (App app in Model.Applications)
    {
        <li><a href="@app.Url">@app.Name</a></li>
    }
</ul>
