Does this support Microsoft Azure services?

Yes, it includes specific patterns and references for the Microsoft MCP ecosystem, including Azure, AI Foundry, and Microsoft Fabric integrations.

Can I use this for local development?

Yes, it covers local development using stdio transport for desktop apps, as well as remote cloud deployments using Streamable HTTP for multi-tenant services.

How do I test my custom MCP server?

The guide recommends using the official MCP Inspector tool to verify compilation, tool registration, and accurate response handling before deployment.

What is an MCP server?

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server is a standardized bridge that allows Large Language Models to securely interact with external data sources, tools, and services.

Which programming languages does this skill support?

This skill provides detailed implementation guidance for TypeScript (the recommended standard), Python (using FastMCP), and C#/.NET (using the Microsoft MCP SDK).
