- Visual Studio Code with the Azure Functions extension (recommended)
- Docker — Runs Azurite, the local Azure Storage emulator
Samples
| Sample | Get started | What it demonstrates |
|---|---|---|
| mcp-tools | README | MCP Tool triggers: hello world, snippet save/get with Azure Blob bindings, structured content (images, resource links) |
| mcp-prompts | README | MCP Prompt triggers: reusable, parameterized prompt templates (code review, summarize, documentation) |
| mcp-weather-app | README | MCP Apps: tool + UI resource serving an interactive weather widget in a sandboxed iframe |
Next Steps
- Learn more about the Azure Functions MCP extension
- Learn more about built-in MCP auth
- Follow our blog posts on Azure SDK Blog and Tech Community for updates.
