Generally Available: Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool trigger for Azure Functions

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a way for apps to provide capabilities and context to a large language model. A key feature of MCP is the ability to define tools that AI agents can leverage to accomplish whatever tasks they’ve been given. MCP servers can be run locally, but remote MCP servers are important for sharing tools that work at cloud scale. 

The Azure Functions MCP tool trigger is now generally available, allowing you to build tools using remote MCP with Azure Functions. Azure Functions lets you author focused, event-driven logic that scales automatically in response to demand. You just write code reflecting unique requirements of your tools, and Functions will take care of the rest.
