FAQ from Azure Container Apps - AI & MCP Playground

How does this server differ from other MCP servers?

This playground focuses on demonstrating MCP with multiple LLM providers and includes both HTTP and SSE transport, a local database, and a host application.

What are the runtime dependencies?

Node.js 22+, Docker, and an OpenAI compatible endpoint (OpenAI API key, GitHub token, or Azure OpenAI endpoint).

Where is agent state stored?

State is stored in DocumentDB Local, a lightweight database running in Docker.

Does it support authentication?

Authentication is a work in progress; currently no token-based auth for the MCP servers.

How can I debug the MCP host?

Set the DEBUG environment variable to mcp:* before starting the host.
