Frequently asked questions

1

What prerequisites are needed?

Python 3.11 or higher, Azure Functions Core Tools, and an Azure Storage emulator (Azurite). Visual Studio Code with the Azure Functions extension is optional for local debugging.

2

How do I run the server locally?

Start Azurite, then in the `src` folder run `pip install -r requirements.txt` followed by `func start`. The server listens on `http://localhost:7071/runtime/webhooks/mcp/sse`.

3

How do I connect an MCP client?

Use the SSE transport with the endpoint URL. For local testing, the URL is `http://localhost:7071/runtime/webhooks/mcp/sse`. For remote access, include the system key as a `code` query parameter or as the `x-functions-key` header.

4

How do I deploy to Azure?

Run `azd up` in the project root, or follow the Azure documentation to provision Azure Functions on Azure Container Apps. The deployed endpoint will be secured with a system key by default.

5

What sample tools are included?

Two MCP tools are defined: `get_attractions` and `get_attractions_reviews`, which call the RapidAPI Booking.com API to retrieve travel details.
