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.
Today,
we’re pleased to share an early preview of triggers and bindings that allow you
to build tools using remote MCP with server-sent events (SSE) 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.
