Overview

What is Marvel MCP Server using Azure Functions?

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that integrates with the Marvel Developer API to enable interaction with Marvel characters and comics data. It is designed to be hosted on Azure Functions and provides tool-based access for AI assistants.

How to use Marvel MCP Server using Azure Functions?

Sign up for a Marvel Developer API account to obtain public and private keys. Set up an Azure Storage Emulator (Azurite) locally, clone the repository, configure .env with your keys, install dependencies (npm install), build (npm run build), and start the Azure Functions host (npm start). Then configure an MCP host such as Claude Desktop or GitHub Copilot by adding the SSE URL (http://0.0.0.0:7071/runtime/webhooks/mcp/sse). For remote deployment, run azd up to provision Azure resources and deploy.

Frequently asked questions

What is the main goal of this project?

To show how an MCP server hosted using Azure Functions can be used to interact with APIs like the Marvel Developer API.

What data source does the server use?

All data is fetched from the official Marvel Developer API. The project is not affiliated with Marvel and data is owned by Marvel.

What are the runtime requirements?

Node.js >=20 is required. An Azure Storage Emulator (Azurite) must be running locally.

How do I configure the server with Claude Desktop?

Add the SSE URL `http://0.0.0.0:7071/runtime/webhooks/mcp/sse` to your `claude_desktop_config.json` under `mcpServers`.

How can I deploy the server to Azure remotely?

Use the `azd up` command to provision Azure Functions and related resources, optionally enabling a VNet or API Management for security.
