Onboard Azure Functions MCP Tools to Azure MCP

[manvkaur]

Set of 4 tools:
These are designed to help with Azure Functions template management.

1. get_azure_functions_languages_list: Get the list of supported languages with runtime versions and capabilities
2. get_azure_functions_project_template: Get project initialization files (host.json, package.json, pom.xml, etc.) with configurable runtime parameters
3. get_azure_functions_templates_list: Get all available function templates for a specific language with descriptions and categories
4. get_azure_functions_template: Get the complete source code for a specific function template, plus required app settings and packages

What these tools are:

• Set of 4 tools that enhance AI client context​
• Azure Functions-curated, verified function samples​
• MCP-compliant stdio server​
• Complements Skills & AI generation tool
• Structured samples + metadata​
• AI-driven progressive discovery​ (language → project → templates → code)​
• Produces runnable, end-to-end projects​
• Complete modern project structures​ (.NET Isolated, Python v2 decorators, Node.js v4)​
• Faster onboarding with current templates

What problem do these tools solve for Azure Functions customers:

• Current tooling - VS Code, Functions CLI, Visual Studio have slow-release cycles of Azure Functions templates and these updates can take over a month​ due to their dependency on slow release components
• No consistent way to reuse trusted samples across agents​
• Limited interoperability across AI clients and tools​
• Hard to converge working code with new or existing solutions
• grounding of agents in verified coding best practices for Azure Functions

Existing capability to enhance

• get_azure_best_practices - this tools section for Azure Functions will suggest agents to use new tools additionally while adding/updating Azure Functions code

Type of projects:

• These tools are meant to support both greenfield and brownfield customers as the sections are composable. Usage examples

This is our current repository - Azure/azure-functions-templates-mcp-server: Azure Functions Create Triggers Bindings MCP Server
