This project provides a quick start guide for deploying a remote MCP server with Azure Functions using Java. It highlights secure and scalable deployment practices with options for OAuth integration and network isolation.

Getting Started with Remote MCP Servers using Azure Functions (Java)

This guide demonstrates how to build and deploy a remote MCP server using Azure Functions and Java. Key features include secure HTTPS design, OAuth support via EasyAuth or API Management, and VNet isolation. You can set up and run the server locally for testing and seamlessly deploy it to the cloud.

Prerequisites

  • Java build + run: JDK 17 (or newer)
  • Local Functions runtime: Azure Functions Core Tools v4
  • Provision & deploy: Azure Developer CLI (azd)
  • IDE: Visual Studio Code + Azure Functions extension
  • Blob Storage emulator: Docker for Azurite

Deployment

  • Use azd up for deploying the server to Azure.
  • Connect clients through a hosted SSE endpoint.
  • Redeploy code with azd up to sync updates.
  • Clean up resources with azd down.

How It Works

  • MCP Tool Trigger: Configure tool properties and runtime JSON handling.
  • Storage Bindings: Manage blob storage for snippet saving and retrieval.
  • Required SDK and Extension Bundle: Ensure proper library versions and bundle configurations.

Next Steps

  • Use API Management for policy control.
  • Add EasyAuth for OAuth provider integration.
  • Explore the Model Context Protocol ecosystem.
