Enables the deployment of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to deliver category-specific jokes and integrates it with Microsoft Copilot Studio.
This lab demonstrates how to deploy a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and integrate it with Microsoft Copilot Studio, enabling seamless connection of AI models to external data sources and tools. It showcases a 'Jokes MCP Server' that provides category-specific jokes (like Chuck Norris or Dad jokes), allowing developers to understand how MCP bridges the gap between AI agents and custom knowledge servers or APIs. The tool supports both local execution via development tunnels and deployment to Azure using the Azure Developer CLI, enhancing conversational AI capabilities with real-time, external data access while leveraging enterprise security and governance controls.
