About Getting Started with Remote MCP Servers using Azure Functions

This is a quickstart template to easily build and deploy a custom remote MCP server to the cloud using Azure functions. You can clone/restore/run on your local machine with debugging, and azd up to have it in the cloud in a couple minutes. The MCP server is secured by design.

Getting Started with Remote MCP Servers using Azure Functions config

No standard config provided

This server doesn't expose a parseable MCP config block in its README. See the repository for install instructions.

This listing does not currently have a tool list to display. This does not mean the server has no tools; check its documentation for supported capabilities.

We auto-extract tools from the README. The maintainer can list them under a ## Tools heading to populate this section.

Overview

What is Getting Started with Remote MCP Servers using Azure Functions (Node.js/TypeScript)?

This sample repository shows how to build and deploy remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to Azure using Azure Functions. It targets developers who want quick, self-contained quickstarts to clone, run locally, and deploy to Azure with azd up.

How to use Getting Started with Remote MCP Servers using Azure Functions (Node.js/TypeScript)?

Install the prerequisites: Node.js 18+, Azure Functions Core Tools >=4.0.7030, Azure Developer CLI (azd), Visual Studio Code with the Azure Functions extension (recommended), and Docker. Then clone a sample, run it locally with Azure Functions Core Tools, and deploy to Azure using azd up.

Key features of Getting Started with Remote MCP Servers using Azure Functions (Node.js/TypeScript)

  • MCP Tool triggers for hello world and Blob storage snippets
  • MCP Prompt triggers for reusable, parameterized prompt templates
  • MCP App with interactive weather widget in a sandboxed iframe
  • Sample demonstrates structured content (images, resource links)
  • Includes code review, summarize, and documentation prompt templates
  • Self-contained quickstarts with local run and one‑command cloud deployment

Use cases of Getting Started with Remote MCP Servers using Azure Functions (Node.js/TypeScript)

  • Expose tools that let an LLM save and retrieve code snippets from Azure Blob Storage
  • Offer prompt templates that an LLM can call to perform code review or summarization
  • Serve an interactive UI (e.g., a weather widget) as a resource for an MCP app
  • Rapidly prototype and deploy a remote MCP server on Azure for testing or production

Frequently asked questions

1

What prerequisites are needed to run the samples?

You need Node.js 18+, Azure Functions Core Tools `>=4.0.7030`, Azure Developer CLI (azd), Docker (for Azurite), and optionally Visual Studio Code with the Azure Functions extension.

2

Which languages are supported?

This repository uses Node.js/TypeScript. Separate versions exist for [.NET/C#](https://github.com/Azure-Samples/remote-mcp-functions-dotnet) and [Python](https://github.com/Azure-Samples/remote-mcp-functions-python).

3

How do I deploy a sample to Azure?

Clone the sample, run it locally, then use `azd up` to provision resources and deploy to the cloud in minutes.

4

What does each sample demonstrate?

The `mcp-tools` sample shows MCP Tool triggers with Blob bindings and structured content. `mcp-prompts` shows reusable prompt templates. `mcp-weather-app` shows an interactive weather widget as an MCP app.

5

Is there built‑in authorization for remote MCP servers?

Yes. The repository links to documentation for [built‑in MCP auth](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/azure-functions/functions-mcp-tutorial?tabs=mcp-extension&pivots=programming-language-python#remote-mcp-server-authorization) provided by the Azure Functions MCP extension.
