The Authenticated Remote MCP Server project enables the deployment of a secure MCP server on Azure, leveraging Entra ID for token management with Microsoft Graph. It uses Azure tools and provides a method for secretless authorization.
What is the purpose of the on-behalf-of flow?
The on-behalf-of flow is used to securely exchange a token acquired for the MCP server for another token that can be used with Microsoft Graph, allowing for secure access to Microsoft services.
Why is the deployment secretless?
The deployment is secretless to enhance security by eliminating the need to store sensitive information such as passwords or secret keys, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
What tools are required to test the MCP server?
The Model Context Protocol Inspector is required to test the MCP server, as it supports authorization out-of-the-box and allows for interaction with the server.
How do I deploy the project to Azure?
To deploy the project to Azure, clone the repository, navigate to the directory, log in using Azure Developer CLI, and run 'azd up' to deploy the resources.
What should I do if I encounter issues during deployment?
If you encounter issues during deployment, you can open an issue on the project's GitHub repository to seek assistance or report the problem.
