Getting Started with Remote MCP Servers using Azure Functions (Node.js/TypeScript)

This project provides a quickstart template for building and deploying a custom remote MCP server via Azure functions. Key features include:

  • Easy cloning, restoring, and local execution with debugging.
  • Quick cloud deployment using azd up.
  • Secure design utilizing keys, HTTPs, and OAuth with EasyAuth or API Management.
  • Network isolation capabilities via VNET.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js version 18 or higher
  • Azure Functions Core Tools >= 4.0.7030
  • Azure Developer CLI
  • Docker for Azurite

Deployment

  • Local: Start Azurite, install dependencies, build the project, and run the Functions host.
  • Remote: Set VNet and run azd up to provision Azure resources and deploy the function app.

Additional Steps

  • Manage security with API Management and built-in authentication.
  • Use MCP Inspector or GitHub Copilot in VS Code for interaction.
