Remote MCP with Azure Functions (Python)

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.
