Niagara MCP Server — APIM Dynamic Discovery

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server deployed on Azure that dynamically reads all APIs from Azure API Management and exposes them as AI tools to Copilot Studio. No hardcoding. No static files. APIM is the single source of truth.

Branch: Active development on development. main is protected.

How It Works

Copilot Studio (user types plain English)
        |
        |  MCP protocol — Streamable HTTP
        v
registry-mcp-server  (Azure App Service — Docker container)
  ├── http_app_apim.py   → exposes /mcp endpoint, accepts Copilot Studio connections
  ├── server_apim.py     → MCP protocol: handles tools/list and tools/call
  ├── apim_dynamic.py    → reads all APIs live from APIM Management API, filters, routes
  ├── registry.py        → fallback only (returns empty if tools_registry.json missing)
  ├── dispatcher.py      → fallback HTTP dispatcher for registry-based tools
  └── apim_poc/policy.xml → APIM native gateway policy (POC reference, not active)
        |
        |  Real HTTP calls with subscription key
        v
Azure API Management (apim-dev-intg)
  ├── Function Apps  (fn-dev-bark, fn-dev-dimitri-getshipmentfromwms, fn-dev-purchase-orders ...)
  ├── Logic Apps     (dimitri-otmtodimitriupdate, ebs-to-dimitri, service-cloud-integration ...)
  └── REST APIs      (livetracking-getShipments, uomconversiontoerp, otmgenericapi ...)

Code Files

File

What it does

app/mcp_server/apim_dynamic.py

Core. Authenticates via Managed Identity, calls management.azure.com, reads all 56 APIs, filters out EDI/B2B prefixes, converts each operation to MCP tool format, routes tool calls to correct APIM endpoint

app/mcp_server/server_apim.py

MCP protocol layer. Handles tools/list (calls apim_dynamic) and tools/call (routes to apim_dynamic or fallback)

app/mcp_server/http_app_apim.py

Web server. Exposes /mcp Streamable HTTP endpoint for Copilot Studio and /sse legacy endpoint

app/mcp_server/registry.py

Fallback only. Loads tools from tools_registry.json if it exists. File is deleted — returns empty dict

app/mcp_server/dispatcher.py

Fallback HTTP dispatcher. Used only if APIM discovery fails

apim_poc/policy.xml

APIM native gateway approach (Plan A / POC). Documents rate limiting, JWT auth, and CORS policies

API Discovery Logic (apim_dynamic.py)

  1. Authenticates using App Service Managed Identity — no passwords, no hardcoded credentials

  2. Calls management.azure.com → reads all 56 APIs from apim-dev-intg

  3. Checks for mcp-enabled tag — if any API is tagged, shows only tagged ones. If none tagged, shows all

  4. Filters out EDI/B2B system callbacks by prefix: o2c_, p2p_, b2b_, echo_api, fourkites_, fap_dev_, 3pl_ofc_, fn_dev_edi_

  5. Converts remaining 53 business tools to MCP format with name, description, and input schema from APIM metadata

  6. Returns to Copilot Studio — happens live on every session, no caching

Any new Logic App or Function App published to APIM automatically appears in Copilot Studio on the next session. Zero code change, zero redeploy.

Status

Managed Identity — no credentials in code

Active

All secrets in App Service env vars — never in code or git

Active

APIM audit logging via Azure Monitor

Active automatically

EDI/B2B filter — AI cannot see system integration endpoints

Active

mcp-enabled tag — whitelist specific APIs for AI access

Ready — APIM admin adds tags

Rate limiting — 100 calls/min per subscription

Ready — one line in policy.xml

JWT Azure AD authentication on /mcp endpoint
