Configuration SSE - Azure Function App

Azure Functions

There is a project to build an Azure Function App.

Note that the Url of the MCP Server will be http://xxxxx.azurewebsites.net/runtime/webhooks/mcp/sse.

In addition a key is needed. This is located on Function App | Keys blade and is callled mcp_extension.

The header for this key is called x-functions-key.

VSCode config

The VS Code config would look like:

{
    "servers": {
        "colorsserver": {
            "type": "sse",
            "url": "https://xxxxx.azurewebsites.net//runtime/webhooks/mcp/sse",
            "headers": {
                "x-functions-key": "key"
            }
        }
    }
}
