From Zero to MCP: Deploying and Using Azure MCP Server
Details
Welcome to the new era of AI agent toolchains!
In a practical webinar, you'll learn how to deploy and use the Azure MCP Server, the gateway that enables your AI agents, like GitHub Copilot Agent Mode, or any custom LLM app, to interact with services like Azure Storage, Cosmos DB, Log Analytics, and others.
We'll go from infrastructure setup to integration with VSCode and GitHub, including Copilot, showing how to define, run, and work with tools all via MCP.
This session is part of the AI Motion track, a technical series focused on building and securing Microsoft AI. This time on MCP on Azure, including security aspects.
