Skill instructions
MCP Server Development Guide Overview Create MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that enable LLMs to interact with external services through well-designed tools. The quality of an MCP server is measured by how well it enables LLMs to accomplish real-world tasks. --- Microsoft MCP Ecosystem Microsoft provides extensive MCP infrastructure for Azure and Foundry services. Understanding this ecosystem helps you decide whether to build custom servers or leverage existing ones. Server Types | Type | Transport | Use Case | Example | |------|-----------|----------|---------| | Local | stdio | Desktop apps, single-user, local dev | Azure MCP Server via NPM/Docker | | Remote | Streamable HTTP | Cloud services, multi-tenant, Agent Service | https://mcp.ai.azure.com (Foundry) | Microsoft MCP Servers Before building a custom server, check if Microsoft already provides one: | Server | Type | Description | |--------|------|-------------| | Azure MCP | Local | 48+ Azure services (Storage, KeyVault, Co
