Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Remote MCP with Azure Functions (Python)generate a QR code for https://azure.com"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Getting Started with Remote MCP Servers using Azure Functions (Python)
This repo has a collection of samples to help you 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 a server in the cloud in a couple minutes.
All sample MCP servers are configured with built-in authentication using Microsoft Entra as the identity provider.
You can also use API Management to secure the server, as well as network isolation using VNET.
If you're looking for samples in more languages check out the .NET/C# and Node.js/TypeScript versions.
Prerequisites
Python version 3.13 or higher
Azure Functions Core Tools >=
4.8.0Azure Developer CLI 1.23.x or above (for deployment)
Docker (for the Azurite storage emulator)
Visual Studio Code (recommended)
