# Azure Container Apps remote MCP server example This MCP server uses SSE transport and is authenticated with an API key. ## Running locally Prerequisites: * Python 3.11 or later * [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) Run the server locally: ```bash uv venv uv sync # linux/macOS export API_KEYS=<AN_API_KEY> # windows set API_KEYS=<AN_API_KEY> uv run fastapi dev main.py ``` VS Code MCP configuration (mcp.json): ```json { "inputs": [ { "type": "promptString", "id": "weather-api-key", "description": "Weather API Key", "password": true } ], "servers": { "weather-sse": { "type": "sse", "url": "http://localhost:8000/sse", "headers": { "x-api-key": "${input:weather-api-key}" } } } } ``` ## Deploy to Azure Container Apps ```bash az containerapp up -g <RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME> -n weather-mcp --environment mcp -l westus --env-vars API_KEYS=<AN_API_KEY> --source . ``` If the deployment is successful, the Azure CLI returns the URL of the app. You can use this URL to connect to the server from Visual Studio Code. If the deployment fails, try again after updating the CLI and the Azure Container Apps extension: ```bash az upgrade az extension add -n containerapp --upgrade ```
