Adds 4 templates for hosting MCP servers built with official MCP SDKs on Azure Functions as custom handlers.

Templates

Added entries to templates.json for:

  • Python: Azure-Samples/mcp-sdk-functions-hosting-python (with placeholder image)
  • TypeScript/Node: Azure-Samples/mcp-sdk-functions-hosting-node (with placeholder image)
  • .NET/C#: Azure-Samples/mcp-sdk-functions-hosting-dotnet (with placeholder image)
  • Java/Quarkus: Azure-Samples/mcp-sdk-functions-hosting-java (with placeholder image)

Each template demonstrates:

  • MCP server hosting as Azure Functions custom handlers
  • Weather tool implementations
  • Built-in authentication (Python, TypeScript, and .NET include OBO flow for Microsoft Graph; Java includes MCP authorization specification)
  • Deployment via azd up

Metadata

Templates tagged with:

  • msft, ai, mcp, new (special tags)
  • Language-specific tags (python, typescript, nodejs, dotnetCsharp, java)
  • Framework tags (quarkus for Java)
  • Azure services: functions, keyvault, monitor, appinsights, vnets, privateEndpoints
  • IaC: bicep

Gallery View

Templates appear in gallery filtered by "New" tag with all 4 MCP SDK templates visible at the end.

@kristenwomack Shall we hold python and node since the testing issues are not fixed?

@hemarina I just pinged the functions team on this. It would be nice to push the other two live, let's see about fixing these two issues first.
