Deploy .NET MCP Server to Azure Functions as Custom Handler

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This tutorial details how to deploy an existing .NET MCP server to Azure Functions, building upon a previous guide that hosted it on Azure Container Apps. The process involves using Azure Functions as a self-hosted custom handler for the ASP.NET Core MCP server, maintaining its stateless and Streamable HTTP requirements. This approach allows the Azure Functions host to proxy HTTP requests to the existing server, presenting a consistent interface to the MCP client without needing to rewrite the server's tools as Azure Functions. AI

IMPACT Enables developers to host existing .NET MCP servers on Azure Functions, streamlining deployment for stateless, Streamable HTTP applications.
