From Code to Agents: Build Production MCP Servers on Azure Functions
Azure Functions is positioned as a production-grade hosting platform for MCP servers.
Microsoft MVP Jonah Anderson presented a lightning talk at Build 2026 demonstrating how to build production MCP servers on Azure Functions, framing it as a path from code to deployable DevOps agents. The session is a community-oriented technical tutorial rather than a strategic announcement, with no new product launches or policy shifts. Relevant as a signal of MCP tooling maturing into serverless-hosted, enterprise-ready deployment patterns on Azure.
