# Azure SDK MCP Servers
This document details how to author, publish and use [MCP servers](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol) for azure sdk team usage.
## Using the Azure SDK MCP Server
Run the below command to download and run the azure sdk engsys mcp server manually:
```
<repo root>/eng/common/mcp/azure-sdk-mcp.ps1 -Run
```
To install the mcp server for use within vscode copilot agent mode, run the following then launch vscode from the repository root.
```
<repo root>/eng/common/mcp/azure-sdk-mcp.ps1 -UpdateVsCodeConfig
```
*When updating the config the script will not overwrite any other server configs.*
The script will install the latest version of the azsdk cli executable from [tools releases](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-tools/releases) and install it to `$HOME/.azure-sdk-mcp/azsdk`.
## Authoring an MCP server
Azure SDK MCP server code is in [azure-sdk-tools/tools/azsdk-cli/Azure.Sdk.Tools.Cli](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-tools/tree/main/tools/azsdk-cli/Azure.Sdk.Tools.Cli).
Azure SDK MCP servers should support [stdio and sse transports](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/concepts/transports#server-sent-events-sse).
When running in copilot the default is stdio mode, but SSE is useful to support for external debugging.
### Developing MCP servers in C#
See the [C# MCP SDK](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/csharp-sdk)
Add an [SSE transport](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/csharp-sdk/tree/main/samples/AspNetCoreSseServer)
TODO: Add the azsdk-cli project to pull in MCP server dependencies from the repo
