A collection of samples for building and deploying remote MCP servers to Azure using Azure Functions (Java). Each sample runs locally with debugging and deploys to Azure with azd up.
All samples are configured with built-in authentication using Microsoft Entra as the identity provider. You can also use API Management to secure the server, or add network isolation with VNET.
If you're looking for samples in other languages, see: .NET/C# | Node.js/TypeScript | Python
- JDK 17 (or newer)
- Apache Maven
- Azure Functions Core Tools v4 >=
4.0.7030 - Azure Developer CLI (for deployment)
- Visual Studio Code + Azure Functions extension (recommended)
