MCP Protocol Compliance: Full support for JSON-RPC 2.0 MCP protocol
HTTP Transport: HTTP-based communication for web connectivity
Weather Tools:
- get_alerts: Get weather alerts for any US state
- get_forecast: Get detailed weather forecast for any location
Azure Ready: Pre-configured for Azure App Service deployment
Web Test Interface: Built-in HTML interface for testing
National Weather Service API: Real-time weather data from official US government source

🚀 Quick Deploy to Azure

Prerequisites

Azure CLI
Azure Developer CLI (azd)
Active Azure subscription

Deploy in 3 Commands

# 1. Login to Azure
azd auth login

# 2. Initialize the project
azd init

# 3. Deploy to Azure
azd up

After deployment, your MCP server will be available at:

Health Check: https://<your-app>.azurewebsites.net/health
MCP Capabilities: https://<your-app>.azurewebsites.net/mcp/capabilities
Test Interface: https://<your-app>.azurewebsites.net/test

🧪 Test the Live Server

Once deployed, test the weather tools:

# Get weather alerts for California
curl -X POST "https://<your-app>.azurewebsites.net/mcp" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": {"name": "get_alerts", "arguments": {"state": "CA"}}}'

# Get weather forecast for San Francisco
curl -X POST "https://<your-app>.azurewebsites.net/mcp" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 2, "method": "tools/call", "params": {"name": "get_forecast", "arguments": {"latitude": 37.7749, "longitude": -122.4194}}}'

💻 Local Development

Prerequisites

Node.js 22+ (or Node.js 18+)
npm (Node Package Manager)

Setup & Run

Clone and install dependencies:
git clone <your-repo-url> cd remote-mcp-webapp-node npm install
Start the development server:
npm run dev
Access the server:
- Server: http://localhost:8000
- Health Check: http://localhost:8000/health
- Test Interface: http://localhost:8000/test

🏗️ Architecture

server.js: Main Express application with MCP protocol implementation
infra/: Azure Bicep templates for infrastructure as code
azure.yaml: Azure Developer CLI configuration
public/: Static assets for the web test interface

⚙️ Configuration

The server uses these environment variables:

PORT: Server port (default: 8000)
NODE_ENV: Environment mode (default: development)

Azure App Service automatically configures:

Node.js 22 runtime
Premium v3 (P0V3) App Service Plan
Health check monitoring

🔌 MCP Integration

Connect to MCP Inspector

Use this configuration to connect to your deployed server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "weather-server": {
      "transport": {
        "type": "http",
        "url": "https://<your-app>.azurewebsites.net/mcp"
      },
      "name": "Weather MCP Server",
      "description": "Weather forecast and alerts tools"
    }
  }
}

For local development, use http://localhost:8000/mcp.

🛠️ API Endpoints
