This MCP server integrates with Azure AI Foundry to enable connections to your existing Azure AI Agents, utilizing the wide range of models and knowledge tools available within Azure AI Foundry, such as Azure AI Search and Bing Web Grounding.

• 🤖 Agent Integration - Connect to your existing Azure AI Agents
• 🔄 Seamless Workflow - Use your agents directly within any MCP client
• 🛡️ Secure - All connections use your Azure credentials
• 🧠 Conversation Memory - Each client session maintains isolated conversation history

• connect_agent

  • Connect to a specific Azure AI Agent by ID
  • Inputs:
    • agent_id (string): The ID of the Azure AI Agent to connect to
    • query (string): The question or request to send to the agent
    • thread_id (string, optional): Thread ID for continuation of conversation
  • Returns: Formatted response from the agent

• query_default_agent

  • Send a query to the default configured agent
  • Inputs:
    • query (string): The question or request to send to the agent
    • thread_id (string, optional): Thread ID for continuation of conversation
  • Returns: Formatted response from the default agent

• list_agents

  • List all available Azure AI Agents in your project
  • Returns: List of available agents with their IDs and names

1. Create Azure AI Agents through Azure AI Foundry
2. Note your Azure AI Project connection string
3. Note your agents' IDs (you'll need these to connect to specific agents)
4. Authenticate using Azure credentials: az login

This server requires the following environment variables:

# Required
PROJECT_CONNECTION_STRING=your-project-connection-string

# Optional (configure default agent)
DEFAULT_AGENT_ID=your-default-agent-id

• Python 3.10+
• Azure CLI (az) installed and configured
• Existing Azure AI Agents with desired capabilities

# Setup environment
python -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\activate  # On Windows
source .venv/bin/activate  # On macOS/Linux

# Install dependencies
pip install mcp[cli] azure-identity python-dotenv azure-ai-projects aiohttp

# Run server directly (from ./src/python)
python -m azure_agent_mcp_server

If you prefer using uv:

# Setup environment with uv
uv venv
.venv\Scripts\activate  # On Windows
source .venv/bin/activate  # On macOS/Linux

# Install dependencies
uv add mcp[cli] azure-identity python-dotenv azure-ai-projects aiohttp

# Run server (F)
uv run -m azure_agent_mcp_server

To use with Claude Desktop, add the following to your configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "azure-agent": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER",
        "run",
        "-m",
        "azure_agent_mcp_server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PROJECT_CONNECTION_STRING": "your-project-connection-string",
        "DEFAULT_AGENT_ID": "your-default-agent-id"
      }
    }
  }
}

If you don't want to use uv, you can use python:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "azure-agent": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": [
        "-m",
        "azure_agent_mcp_server"
      ],
      "cwd": "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER",
      "env": {
        "PYTHONPATH": "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER",
        "PROJECT_CONNECTION_STRING": "your-project-connection-string",
        "DEFAULT_AGENT_ID": "your-default-agent-id"
      }
    }
  }
}
