       }
   }
}

Configuration SSE - Azure Function App

Azure Functions

There is a project to build an Azure Function App.

Note that the Url of the MCP Server will be http://xxxxx.azurewebsites.net/runtime/webhooks/mcp/sse.

In addition a key is needed. This is located on Function App | Keys blade and is callled mcp_extension.

The header for this key is called x-functions-key.

VSCode config

The VS Code config would look like:

{
    "servers": {
        "colorsserver": {
            "type": "sse",
            "url": "https://xxxxx.azurewebsites.net//runtime/webhooks/mcp/sse",
            "headers": {

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
