Summary:

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is changing how AI assistants connect to other tools and data sources. This is great news for .NET developers because building these integrations uses familiar tools and patterns.

This session walks through building MCP servers using Azure Functions and C#. No complex infrastructure required. No steep learning curve.

What the session covers:
- The basics of MCP: what it is, why it matters, how the protocol works behind the scenes
- Azure Functions as a simple way to host MCP endpoints.
- How to set things up and think about the practical stuff when using it in the real world

The session is designed for developers curious about AI tooling using MCP Servers and eager to explore where .NET fits in this evolving landscape. Prior MCP experience is not required—but familiarity with C# and basic Azure Functions is a plus!
