Skill instructions
MCP integration Guidance for adding tools to an agent via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Guardrails (always apply) - Terminology: MCP, Hosted MCP tools (Foundry-managed), Microsoft Learn MCP server. - Client-side MCP uses MCPStreamableHTTPTool from the current agent-framework surface. The old top-level HostedMCPTool symbol is gone — hosted tools are configured through the Foundry hosted-tool types. - Secrets (PATs, tokens) come from .env only. In this course the GitHub MCP server is passed a Bearer PAT via headers read from GITHUBPERSONALACCESSTOKEN — never hardcode it. Concepts a learner should grasp 1. Why MCP: one open protocol lets an agent discover and call tools hosted anywhere, instead of bespoke per-tool integrations. 2. Client MCP vs Hosted MCP: client-side, your process connects to an MCP endpoint and executes tool calls; Hosted MCP runs the connection inside Foundry with managed identity, approvals and observability. 3. Approval workflows: hosted MCP tools can require hum
