Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to large language models. It enables AI applications to consistently connect to various data sources and tools, enhancing their capabilities and flexibility. This repository includes core libraries such as Azure MCP and Microsoft Fabric MCP, testing frameworks, engineering systems, pipelines, and tools, helping developers unify engineering investments and reduce duplication and inconsistencies. These MCP servers can be used independently or in conjunction with the GitHub Copilot for Azure extension in VS Code.
