Update To API Management Workspaces Breaking Changes: Built-in Gateway & Tiers Support
What’s changing? If your API Management service uses preview workspaces on the built-in gateway and meets the tier-based limits below, those workspaces will continue to function as-is and will automatically transition to general availability once built-in gateway support is fully announced. API Management tier Limit of workspaces on built-in gateway Premium and Premium v2 Up to 30 workspaces Standard and Standard v2 Up to 5 workspaces Basic and Basic v2 Up to 1 workspace Developer Up to 1 workspace Why this change? We introduced the requirement for workspace gateways to improve reliability and scalability in large, federated API environments. While we continue to recommend workspace gateways, especially for scenarios that require greater scalability, isolation, and long-term flexibility, we understand that many customers have established workflows using the preview workspaces model or need workspaces support in non-Premium tiers. What’s not changing? Other aspects of the workspace-related breaking changes remain in effect. For example, service-level managed identities are not available within workspaces. In addition to workspaces support on the built-in gateway described in the section above, Premium and Premium v2 services will continue to support deploying workspaces with workspace gateways.

Expose REST APIs as MCP servers with Azure API Management and API Center (now in preview)
As AI-powered agents and large language models (LLMs) become central to modern application experiences, developers and enterprises need seamless, secure ways to connect these models to real-world data and capabilities. Today, we’re excited to introduce two powerful preview capabilities in the Azure API Management Platform: Expose REST APIs in Azure API Management as remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers Discover and manage MCP servers using API Center as a centralized enterprise registry Together, these updates help customers securely operationalize APIs for AI workloads and improve how APIs are managed and shared across organizations. Unlocking the value of AI through secure API integration While LLMs are incredibly capable, they are stateless and isolated unless connected to external tools and systems. Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard designed to bridge this gap by allowing agents to invoke tools—such as APIs—via a standardized, JSON-RPC-based interface. With this release, Azure empowers you to operationalize your APIs for AI integration—securely, observably, and at scale. 1. Expose REST APIs as MCP servers with Azure API Management An MCP server exposes selected API operations to AI clients over JSON-RPC via HTTP or Server-Sent Events (SSE). These operations, referred to as “tools,” can be invoked by AI agents through natural language prompts. With this new capability, you can expose your existing REST APIs in Azure API Management as MCP servers—without rebuilding or rehosting them. Addressing common challenges Before this capability, customers faced several challenges when implementing MCP support: Duplicating development efforts: Building MCP servers from scratch often led to unnecessary work when existing REST APIs already provided much of the needed functionality. Security concerns: Server trust: Malicious servers could impersonate trusted ones. Credential management: Self-hosted MCP implementations often had to manage sensitive credentials like OAuth tokens. Registry and discovery: Without a centralized registry, discovering and managing MCP tools was manual and fragmented, making it hard to scale securely across teams. API Management now addresses these concerns by serving as a managed, policy-enforced hosting surface for MCP tools—offering centralized control, observability, and security. Benefits of using Azure API Management with MCP By exposing MCP servers through Azure API Management, customers gain: Centralized governance for API access, authentication, and usage policies Secure connectivity using OAuth 2.0 and subscription keys Granular control over which API operations are exposed to AI agents as tools Built-in observability through APIM’s monitoring and diagnostics features How it works MCP servers: In your API Management instance navigate to MCP servers Choose an API: + Create a new MCP Server and select the REST API you wish to expose. Configure the MCP Server: Select the API operations you want to expose as tools. These can be all or a subset of your API’s methods. Test and Integrate: Use tools like MCP Inspector or Visual Studio Code (in agent mode) to connect, test, and invoke the tools from your AI host. Getting started and availability This feature is now in public preview and being gradually rolled out to early access customers. To use the MCP server capability in Azure API Management: Prerequisites Your APIM instance must be on a SKUv1 tier: Premium, Standard, or Basic Your service must be enrolled in the AI Gateway early update group (activation may take up to 2 hours) Use the Azure Portal with feature flag: ➤ Append ?Microsoft_Azure_ApiManagement=mcp to your portal URL to access the MCP server configuration experience Note: Support for SKUv2 and broader availability will follow in upcoming updates. Full setup instructions and test guidance can be found via aka.ms/apimdocs/exportmcp. 2. Centralized MCP registry and discovery with Azure API Center As enterprises adopt MCP servers at scale, the need for a centralized, governed registry becomes critical. Azure API Center now provides this capability—serving as a single, enterprise-grade system of record for managing MCP endpoints. With API Center, teams can: Maintain a comprehensive inventory of MCP servers. Track version history, ownership, and metadata. Enforce governance policies across environments. Simplify compliance and reduce operational overhead. API Center also addresses enterprise-grade security by allowing administrators to define who can discover, access, and consume specific MCP servers—ensuring only authorized users can interact with sensitive tools. To support developer adoption, API Center includes: Semantic search and a modern discovery UI. Easy filtering based on capabilities, metadata, and usage context. Tight integration with Copilot Studio and GitHub Copilot, enabling developers to use MCP tools directly within their coding workflows. These capabilities reduce duplication, streamline workflows, and help teams securely scale MCP usage across the organization. Getting started This feature is now in preview and accessible to customers: https://aka.ms/apicenter/docs/mcp AI Gateway Lab | MCP Registry 3. What’s next These new previews are just the beginning. We're already working on: Azure API Management (APIM) Passthrough MCP server support We’re enabling APIM to act as a transparent proxy between your APIs and AI agents—no custom server logic needed. This will simplify onboarding and reduce operational overhead. Azure API Center (APIC) Deeper integration with Copilot Studio and VS Code Today, developers must perform manual steps to surface API Center data in Copilot workflows. We’re working to make this experience more visual and seamless, allowing developers to discover and consume MCP servers directly from familiar tools like VS Code and Copilot Studio.

Logic Apps Aviators Newsletter - August 25
In this issue: Ace Aviator of the Month News from our product group News from our community Ace Aviator of the Month August Ace Aviator: Jenny Anderson What's your role and title? What are your responsibilities? I’m an Integration Architect at Tietoevry Tech Services, where I work with large enterprise customers to develop integration solutions. For the past two years my main focus has been on cloud and hybrid integrations. I design integration architectures, advise on best practices including security and the chosen architecture, and collaborate closely with development teams to implement and maintain these solutions. Can you give us some insights into your day-to-day activities and what a typical day in your role looks like? My days usually start with scrum meetings across ongoing projects, which help me stay updated on progress, align with teams and prioritize my tasks for the day. After that, I often have customer meetings where I advise on integration strategies, provide architectural guidance or work on pre-sales engagements to scope out potential solutions. Recently, a big focus has been on BizTalk migrations, helping customers modernize their integration platforms by moving to Azure-based solutions. I try to dedicate my afternoons to hands-on technical work, which I really enjoy. Lately, that’s involved working with the new hybrid capabilities in Logic Apps. It’s a great mix of strategic consulting and deep technical implementation, which keeps the role dynamic and rewarding. What motivates and inspires you to be an active member of the Aviators/Microsoft community? I’ve always received a lot of support from the community especially when I was starting out in my career and I still benefit from it today. That generosity and openness made a big impact on me, so I feel it’s important to give back whenever I can. For me it’s a way to pay it forward and stay connected to a network that has helped me grow both technically and professionally. Looking back, what advice do you wish you had been given earlier that you'd now share with those looking to get into STEM/technology? Don’t overthink it, just start doing! In the beginning of my career, I assumed that everyone else knew everything, and that I couldn’t contribute or be part of certain areas because I didn’t know enough. But the truth is, no one knows everything, and that’s completely okay. The best way to learn is by doing and taking on challenges, making mistakes and growing from experience. I believe confidence comes from action, not from waiting until you feel “ready.” What has helped you grow professionally? One thing that has really helped me grow is surrounding myself with people who have different experiences or areas of expertise, whether at work, in communities, or through networking. I’ve learned a lot simply by asking questions, even the ones that might seem obvious. I also try to say yes to new opportunities, especially when they push me outside my comfort zone. Being an overthinker, I’ve developed a personal mantra: “Think 40%, do 60%.” It reminds me not to get stuck in planning or doubt, but to take action and learn along the way. That mindset has really helped me move forward. If you had a magic wand that could create a feature in Logic Apps, what would it be and why? If I could use a bit of magic in Logic Apps, I’d want AI to automagically handle all the data mappings. It’s honestly my least favorite part of integration work. It takes forever, it’s a bit dull and yet it’s always important. So, if AI could just step in and quietly take care of it, I wouldn’t complain. I’ve also heard a few customers ask for a disconnected control plane that can be hosted on-premises. That would be a big win for scenarios where cloud access is limited or compliance rules are extra strict. News from our product group Logic Apps Live July 2025 Missed Logic Apps Live in July?

Build. Secure. Launch Your Private MCP Registry with Azure API Center.
We are thrilled to embrace a new era in the world of MCP registries. As organizations increasingly build and consume MCP servers, the need for a secure, governed, robust and easily discoverable tools catalog has become critical. Today, we are excited to show you how to do just that with MCP Center, a live example demonstrating how Azure API Center (APIC) can serve as a private and enterprise-ready MCP registry. The registry puts your MCPs just one click away for developers, ensuring no setup fuss and a direct path to coding brilliance. Why a private registry? 🤔 Public OSS registries have been instrumental in driving growth and innovation across the MCP ecosystem. But as adoption scales, so does the need for tighter security, governance, and control, this is where private MCP registries step in. This is where Azure API Center steps in. Azure API Center offers a powerful and centralized approach to MCP discovery and governance across diverse teams and services within an organization. Let's delve into the key benefits of leveraging a private MCP registry with Azure API Center. Security and Trust: The Foundation of AI Adoption Review and Verification: Public registries, by their open nature, accept submissions from a wide range of developers. This can introduce risks from tools with limited security practices or even malicious intent. A private registry empowers your organization to thoroughly review and verify every MCP server before it becomes accessible to internal developers or AI agents (like Copilot Studio and AI Foundry). This eliminates the risk of introducing random, potentially vulnerable first or third-party tools into your ecosystem. Reduced Attack Surface: By controlling which MCP servers are accessible, organizations significantly shrink their potential attack surface. When your AI agents interact solely with known and secure internal tools, the likelihood of external attackers exploiting vulnerabilities in unvetted solutions is drastically reduced. Enterprise-Grade Authentication and Authorization: Private registries enable the enforcement of your existing robust enterprise authentication and authorization mechanisms (e.g., OAuth 2) across all MCP servers. Public registries, in contrast, may have varying or less stringent authentication requirements. Enforced AI Gateway Control (Azure API Management): Beyond vetting, a private registry enables organizations to route all MCP server traffic through an AI gateway such as Azure API Management. This ensures that every interaction, whether internal or external, adheres to strict security policies, including centralized authentication, authorization, rate limiting, and threat protection, creating a secure front for your AI services. Governance and Control: Navigating the AI Landscape with Confidence Centralized Oversight and "Single Source of Truth": A private registry provides a centralized "single source of truth" for all AI-related tools and data connections within your organization. This empowers comprehensive oversight of AI initiatives, clearly identifying ownership and accountability for each MCP server. Preventing "Shadow AI": Without a formal registry, individual teams might independently develop or integrate AI tools, leading to "shadow AI" – unmanaged and unmonitored AI deployments that can pose significant risks. A private registry encourages a standardized approach, bringing all AI tools under central governance and visibility. Tailored Tool Development: Organizations can develop and host MCP servers specifically tailored to their unique needs and requirements. This means optimized efficiency and utility, providing specialized tools you won't typically find in broader public registries. Simplified Integration and Accelerated Development: A well-managed private registry simplifies the discovery and integration of internal tools for your AI developers. This significantly accelerates the development and deployment of AI-powered applications, fostering innovation. Good news! Azure API Center can be created for free in any Azure subscription.

Introducing API Management Support in the Azure SRE Agent
In May, the Azure SRE Agent was introduced - an AI-powered Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) assistant built to help customers identify, diagnose, and resolve issues across their Azure environments faster and with less manual effort. Today, we’re excited to highlight how the SRE Agent now extends these capabilities to Azure API Management (APIM) , delivering deep operational visibility, guided troubleshooting, and intelligent remediation for customers running critical APIs at scale. API Management sits at the center of API application architectures, acting as a unified entry point for services, enforcing security, transforming requests, and routing traffic to backends. Ensuring the reliability of this layer is crucial - but as systems grow more distributed, it becomes harder to isolate failures, detect misconfigurations, or trace degraded performance to its root cause. The SRE Agent helps APIM users stay ahead of these challenges by providing both diagnostics and remediation tailored for API Management environments. You can ask the SRE agent direct API Management questions or concerns such as: “My API Management is giving me 503 errors” “We updated our policies yesterday, and now the backend is timing out.” “Can you help me figure out why requests to our billing API are failing?” “Show me recent changes to our APIM instance.” “What’s the failure rate on our orders operation this week?” Proactively Monitor API Management App Health The SRE Agent continuously monitors the overall health of your API Management service. It tracks key metrics such as CPU utilization, latency, error rates, and availability over time, surfacing any abnormal patterns and offering insight into capacity. This helps teams anticipate issues before they impact users and plan for scaling with confidence. Visualize Backend Connections and Health One of the most valuable APIM capabilities introduced with the agent is backend mapping. The agent can identify which backend services each API operation routes to, and visualize the health of those backends. This makes it much easier to answer operational questions like: “Which backend is responsible for the spike in errors on my /checkout API?” “Are there any timeouts happening from APIM to service X?” Drill into Backend App Issues If the root cause lies in a backend application - whether it's a service hosted in Azure Container Apps, Azure Functions Apps App Service, or another compute platform - the SRE Agent can go further. It analyzes backend-specific metrics such as memory and CPU usage, response time distribution, recent deployments, and any logged exceptions. The agent correlates this backend behavior with the observed degradation at the API Management layer to provide a full stack view of what’s happening. For example: “Your backend container app failed 37% of requests in the last hour due to out-of-memory errors. This correlated with a 5xx spike at the /stock/check API operation.” Detect and Fix Configuration Issues The SRE Agent also helps uncover common configuration issues that lead to downtime or silent failures, including: Malformed API policies Missing or misapplied network rules (NSGs, VNet) Incorrect scaling configuration or quota enforcement But it doesn’t stop at diagnostics. Where safe and possible, the agent can also perform remediation with your approval - for example, by adjusting NSG rules, scaling your API Management, etc. Built for Teams that Depend on APIM If API Management is critical to your infrastructure, the SRE Agent gives you an extra layer of confidence - offering the clarity and tooling needed to maintain uptime, reduce operational overhead, and catch issues before they escalate. The APIM-specific capabilities of SRE Agent are now available, and can be used in any SRE Agent resource (currently in preview). Signup for preview access We’re excited to bring this level of intelligence and automation to APIM, and we’re looking forward to your feedback as we continue to evolve the experience.

Announcing the Public Preview of the Applications feature in Azure API management
API Management now supports built-in OAuth 2.0 application-based access to product APIs using the client credentials flow. This feature allows API managers to register Microsoft Entra ID applications, streamlining secure API access for developers through OAuth 2.0 authorization. API publishers and developers can now more effectively manage client identity, access, and authorization flows. With this feature: API managers can identify which products require OAuth authorization by setting a product property to enable application-based access API managers can create and manage client applications and assign them access to specific products. Developers can see their registered applications in API management developer portal and use OAuth tokens to securely call APIs and products OAuth tokens presented in API requests are validated by the API Management gateway to authorize access to the product's APIs. This feature simplifies identity and access management in API programs, enabling a more secure and scalable approach to API consumption. Enable OAuth authorization API managers can now identify specific products which are protected by Microsoft Entra identity by enabling "Application based access". This ensures that only valid client applications which have a secure OAuth token from Microsoft Entra identity can access the APIs associated with this product. An application is created in Microsoft Entra corresponding to the product, with appropriate app role. Register client applications and assign products API managers can register client applications, identify specific developers as owners of these applications and assign products to these applications. This creates a new application in Microsoft Entra and assigns API permissions to access the product. Securely access the API using client applications Developers can login into API management developer portal and see the appropriate applications assigned to them. They can retrieve the application credentials and call Microsoft Entra to get an OAuth token, use this token to call APIM gateway and securely access the product/API. Preview limitations The public preview of the Applications is a limited-access feature. To participate in the preview and enable Applications in your APIM service instance, you must complete a request form. The Azure API Management team will review your request and respond via email within five business days. Learn more Securely access product APIs with Microsoft Entra applications

Azure API Management Your Auth Gateway For MCP Servers
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is quickly becoming the standard for integrating Tools 🛠️ with Agents 🤖 and Azure API Management is at the fore-front, ready to support this open-source protocol 🚀. You may have already encountered discussions about MCP, so let's clarify some key concepts: Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized way, (a protocol), for AI models to interact with external tools, (and either read data or perform actions) and to enrich context for ANY language models. AI Agents/Assistants are autonomous LLM-powered applications with the ability to use tools to connect to external services required to accomplish tasks on behalf of users. Tools are components made available to Agents allowing them to interact with external systems, perform computation, and take actions to achieve specific goals. Azure API Management: As a platform-as-a-service, API Management supports the complete API lifecycle, enabling organizations to create, publish, secure, and analyze APIs with built-in governance, security, analytics, and scalability. New Cool Kid in Town - MCP AI Agents are becoming widely adopted due to enhanced Large Language Model (LLM) capabilities. However, even the most advanced models face limitations due to their isolation from external data. Each new data source requires custom implementations to extract, prepare, and make data accessible for any model(s). - A lot of heavy lifting. Anthropic developed an open-source standard - the Model Context Protocol (MCP), to connect your agents to external data sources such as local data sources (databases or computer files) or remote services (systems available over the internet through e.g. APIs). MCP Hosts: LLM applications such as chat apps or AI assistant in your IDEs (like GitHub Copilot in VS Code) that need to access external capabilities MCP Clients: Protocol clients that maintain 1:1 connections with servers, inside the host application MCP Servers: Lightweight programs that each expose specific capabilities and provide context, tools, and prompts to clients MCP Protocol: Transport layer in the middle At its core, MCP follows a client-server architecture where a host application can connect to multiple servers. Whenever your MCP host or client needs a tool, it is going to connect to the MCP server. The MCP server will then connect to for example a database or an API. MCP hosts and servers will connect with each other through the MCP protocol. You can create your own custom MCP Servers that connect to your or organizational data sources. For a quick start, please visit our GitHub repository to learn how to build a remote MCP server using Azure Functions without authentication: https://aka.ms/mcp-remote Remote vs. Local MCP Servers The MCP standard supports two modes of operation: Remote MCP servers: MCP clients connect to MCP servers over the Internet, establishing a connection using HTTP and Server-Sent Events (SSE), and authorizing the MCP client access to resources on the user's account using OAuth. Local MCP servers: MCP clients connect to MCP servers on the same machine, using stdio as a local transport method. Azure API Management as the AI Auth Gateway Now that we have learned that MCP servers can connect to remote services through an API. The question now rises, how can we expose our remote MCP servers in a secure and scalable way? This is where Azure API Management comes in. A way that we can securely and safely expose tools as MCP servers. Azure API Management provides: Security: AI agents often need to access sensitive data. API Management as a remote MCP proxy safeguards organizational data through authentication and authorization. Scalability: As the number of LLM interactions and external tool integrations grows, API Management ensures the system can handle the load. Security remains to be a critical piece of building MCP servers, as agents will need to securely connect to protected endpoints (tools) to perform certain actions or read protected data. When building remote MCP servers, you need a way to allow users to login (Authenticate) and allow them to grant the MCP client access to resources on their account (Authorization). MCP - Current Authorization Challenges State: 4/10/2025 Recent changes in MCP authorization have sparked significant debate within the community. 🔍 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 with the Authorization Changes: The MCP server is now treated as both a resource server AND an authorization server. This dual role has fundamental implications for MCP server developers and runtime operations. 💡 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: To address these challenges, we recommend using 𝗔𝘇𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗣𝗜 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 as your authorization gateway for remote MCP servers. 🔗For an enterprise-ready solution, please check out our azd up sample repo to learn how to build a remote MCP server using Azure API Management as your authentication gateway: https://aka.ms/mcp-remote-apim-auth The Authorization Flow The workflow involves three core components: the MCP client, the APIM Gateway, and the MCP server, with Microsoft Entra managing authentication (AuthN) and authorization (AuthZ). Using the OAuth protocol, the client starts by calling the APIM Gateway, which redirects the user to Entra for login and consent. Once authenticated, Entra provides an access token to the Gateway, which then exchanges a code with the client to generate an MCP server token. This token allows the client to communicate securely with the server via the Gateway, ensuring user validation and scope verification. Finally, the MCP server establishes a session key for ongoing communication through a dedicated message endpoint. Diagram source: https://aka.ms/mcp-remote-apim-auth-diagram Conclusion Azure API Management (APIM) is an essential tool for enterprise customers looking to integrate AI models with external tools using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). In this blog, we've emphasized the simplicity of connecting AI agents to various data sources through MCP, streamlining previously complex implementations. Given the critical role of secure access to platforms and services for AI agents, APIM offers robust solutions for managing OAuth tokens and ensuring secure access to protected endpoints, making it an invaluable asset for enterprises, despite the challenges of authentication. API Management: An Enterprise Solution for Securing MCP Servers Azure API Management is an essential tool for enterprise customers looking to integrate AI models with external tools using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Today, we’re excited to introduce two powerful preview capabilities in the Azure API Management Platform: \n \n Expose REST APIs in Azure API Management as remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers \n Discover and manage MCP servers using API Center as a centralized enterprise registry \n \n Together, these updates help customers securely operationalize APIs for AI workloads and improve how APIs are managed and shared across organizations. \n \n Unlocking the value of AI through secure API integration \n While LLMs are incredibly capable, they are stateless and isolated unless connected to external tools and systems. Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard designed to bridge this gap by allowing agents to invoke tools—such as APIs—via a standardized, JSON-RPC-based interface. \n With this release, Azure empowers you to operationalize your APIs for AI integration—securely, observably, and at scale. \n 1. Expose REST APIs as MCP servers with Azure API Management \n An MCP server exposes selected API operations to AI clients over JSON-RPC via HTTP or Server-Sent Events (SSE). These operations, referred to as “tools,” can be invoked by AI agents through natural language prompts. \n With this new capability, you can expose your existing REST APIs in Azure API Management as MCP servers—without rebuilding or rehosting them. \n Addressing common challenges \n Before this capability, customers faced several challenges when implementing MCP support: \n \n Duplicating development efforts: Building MCP servers from scratch often led to unnecessary work when existing REST APIs already provided much of the needed functionality. \n Security concerns:\n \n Server trust: Malicious servers could impersonate trusted ones. \n Credential management: Self-hosted MCP implementations often had to manage sensitive credentials like OAuth tokens. \n \n \n Registry and discovery: Without a centralized registry, discovering and managing MCP tools was manual and fragmented, making it hard to scale securely across teams. \n \n API Management now addresses these concerns by serving as a managed, policy-enforced hosting surface for MCP tools—offering centralized control, observability, and security. \n \n Benefits of using Azure API Management with MCP \n By exposing MCP servers through Azure API Management, customers gain: \n \n Centralized governance for API access, authentication, and usage policies \n Secure connectivity using OAuth 2.0 and subscription keys \n Granular control over which API operations are exposed to AI agents as tools \n Built-in observability through APIM’s monitoring and diagnostics features \n \n How it works \n \n MCP servers: In your API Management instance navigate to MCP servers \n Choose an API: + Create a new MCP Server and select the REST API you wish to expose. \n Configure the MCP Server: Select the API operations you want to expose as tools. These can be all or a subset of your API’s methods. \n Test and Integrate: Use tools like MCP Inspector or Visual Studio Code (in agent mode) to connect, test, and invoke the tools from your AI host. \n \n Getting started and availability \n This feature is now in public preview and being gradually rolled out to early access customers. To use the MCP server capability in Azure API Management: \n Prerequisites \n \n Your APIM instance must be on a SKUv1 tier: Premium, Standard, or Basic \n Your service must be enrolled in the AI Gateway early update group (activation may take up to 2 hours) \n Use the Azure Portal with feature flag: ➤ Append ?Microsoft_Azure_ApiManagement=mcp to your portal URL to access the MCP server configuration experience \n \n Note: Support for SKUv2 and broader availability will follow in upcoming updates. Full setup instructions and test guidance can be found via aka.ms/apimdocs/exportmcp. \n 2. Centralized MCP registry and discovery with Azure API Center \n As enterprises adopt MCP servers at scale, the need for a centralized, governed registry becomes critical. Azure API Center now provides this capability—serving as a single, enterprise-grade system of record for managing MCP endpoints. \n With API Center, teams can: \n \n Maintain a comprehensive inventory of MCP servers. \n Track version history, ownership, and metadata. \n Enforce governance policies across environments. \n Simplify compliance and reduce operational overhead. \n \n API Center also addresses enterprise-grade security by allowing administrators to define who can discover, access, and consume specific MCP servers—ensuring only authorized users can interact with sensitive tools. \n To support developer adoption, API Center includes: \n \n Semantic search and a modern discovery UI. \n Easy filtering based on capabilities, metadata, and usage context. \n Tight integration with Copilot Studio and GitHub Copilot, enabling developers to use MCP tools directly within their coding workflows. \n \n These capabilities reduce duplication, streamline workflows, and help teams securely scale MCP usage across the organization. \n \n Getting started \n This feature is now in preview and accessible to customers: \n \n https://aka.ms/apicenter/docs/mcp \n AI Gateway Lab | MCP Registry \n \n 3. What’s next \n These new previews are just the beginning. We're already working on: \n Azure API Management (APIM) \n \n Passthrough MCP server support We’re enabling APIM to act as a transparent proxy between your APIs and AI agents—no custom server logic needed. This will simplify onboarding and reduce operational overhead. \n \n Azure API Center (APIC) \n \n Deeper integration with Copilot Studio and VS Code Today, developers must perform manual steps to surface API Center data in Copilot workflows. We’re working to make this experience more visual and seamless, allowing developers to discover and consume MCP servers directly from familiar tools like VS Code and Copilot Studio. \n \n For questions or feedback, reach out to your Microsoft account team or visit: \n \n Azure API Management documentation \n Azure API Center documentation \n \n — The Azure API Management & API Center Teams ","body@stripHtml({\"removeProcessingText\":true,\"removeSpoilerMarkup\":true,\"removeTocMarkup\":true,\"truncateLength\":-1})@stringLength":"6525","kudosSumWeight":5,"repliesCount":7,"readOnly":false,"images":{"__typename":"AssociatedImageConnection","edges":[{"__typename":"AssociatedImageEdge","cursor":"MjUuM3wyLjF8b3wyNXxfTlZffDE","node":{"__ref":"AssociatedImage:{\"url\":\"https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/s/gxcuf89792/images/bS00NDE1MDEzLWRMSW03ZA?revision=12\"}"}},{"__typename":"AssociatedImageEdge","cursor":"MjUuM3wyLjF8b3wyNXxfTlZffDI","node":{"__ref":"AssociatedImage:{\"url\":\"https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/s/gxcuf89792/images/bS00NDE1MDEzLXA5WFNadA?revision=12\"}"}},{"__typename":"AssociatedImageEdge","cursor":"MjUuM3wyLjF8b3wyNXxfTlZffDM","node":{"__ref":"AssociatedImage:{\"url\":\"https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/s/gxcuf89792/images/bS00NDE1MDEzLXZWeFB2cA?revision=12\"}"}},{"__typename":"AssociatedImageEdge","cursor":"MjUuM3wyLjF8b3wyNXxfTlZffDQ","node":{"__ref":"AssociatedImage:{\"url\":\"https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/s/gxcuf89792/images/bS00NDE1MDEzLUJmbjNPWQ?revision=12\"}"}}],"totalCount":4,"pageInfo":{"__typename":"PageInfo","hasNextPage":false,"endCursor":null,"hasPreviousPage":false,"startCursor":null}},"videos":{"__typename":"VideoConnection","edges":[],"totalCount":0,"pageInfo":{"__typename":"PageInfo","hasNextPage":false,"endCursor":null,"hasPreviousPage":false,"startCursor":null}},"coverImage":{"__typename":"UploadedImage","url":"https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/s/gxcuf89792/images/bS00NDE1MDEzLWRMSW03ZA?revision=12"},"coverImageProperties":{"__typename":"CoverImageProperties","style":"STANDARD","titlePosition":"BOTTOM","altText":""}},"Conversation:conversation:4440294":{"__typename":"Conversation","id":"conversation:4440294","topic":{"__typename":"BlogTopicMessage","uid":4440294},"lastPostingActivityTime":"2025-08-06T17:06:20.302-07:00","solved":false},"AssociatedImage:{\"url\":\"https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/s/gxcuf89792/images/bS00NDQwMjk0LWhJcnZ4RA?revision=4\"}":{"__typename":"AssociatedImage","url":"https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/s/gxcuf89792/images/bS00NDQwMjk0LWhJcnZ4RA?revision=4","title":"Screenshot 2025-08-04 at 7.48.09 PM.png","associationType":"COVER","width":912,"height":513,"altText":""},"AssociatedImage:{\"url\":\"https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/s/gxcuf89792/images/bS00NDQwMjk0LVNBZHdXUw?revision=4\"}":{"__typename":"AssociatedImage","url":"https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/s/gxcuf89792/images/bS00NDQwMjk0LVNBZHdXUw?revision=4","title":"clipboard_image-1-1754355017776.png","associationType":"BODY","width":588,"height":432,"altText":""},"AssociatedImage:{\"url\":\"https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/s/gxcuf89792/images/bS00NDQwMjk0LUpGdTl6Yg?revision=4\"}":{"__typename":"AssociatedImage","url":"https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/s/gxcuf89792/images/bS00NDQwMjk0LUpGdTl6Yg?revision=4","title":"clipboard_image-2-1754355017777.png","associationType":"BODY","width":585,"height":417,"altText":""},"BlogTopicMessage:message:4440294":{"__typename":"BlogTopicMessage","subject":"🚀 New in Azure API Management: MCP in v2 SKUs + external MCP-compliant server support","conversation":{"__ref":"Conversation:conversation:4440294"},"id":"message:4440294","revisionNum":4,"uid":4440294,"depth":0,"board":{"__ref":"Blog:board:IntegrationsonAzureBlog"},"author":{"__ref":"User:user:3024625"},"teaser@stripHtml({\"removeProcessingText\":true,\"truncateLength\":-1})":"","introduction":"","metrics":{"__typename":"MessageMetrics","views":1304},"postTime":"2025-08-05T09:37:59.208-07:00","lastPublishTime":"2025-08-05T09:37:59.208-07:00","body@stripHtml({\"removeProcessingText\":true,\"removeSpoilerMarkup\":true,\"removeTocMarkup\":true,\"truncateLength\":-1})":" Your APIs are becoming tools.

It turns traditional REST APIs into structured, secure tools that agents can call during execution — powering real-time, context-aware workflows. \n Why API Management for MCP? \n Azure API Management is the single, secure control plane for exposing and governing MCP capabilities — whether from your REST APIs, Azure-hosted services, or external MCP-compliant runtimes. \n With built-in support for: \n \n Security using OAuth 2.1, Microsoft Entra ID, API keys, IP filtering, and rate limiting. \n Outbound token injection via Credential Manager with policy-based routing. \n Monitoring and diagnostics using Azure Monitor, Logs, and Application Insights. \n Discovery and reuse with Azure API Center integration. \n Comprehensive policy engine for request/response transformation, caching, validation, header manipulation, throttling, and more. \n \n …you get end-to-end governance for both inbound and outbound agent interactions — with no new infrastructure or code rewrites. \n ✅ What’s New? \n 1. MCP support in v2 SKUs \n Previously available only in classic tiers (Basic, Standard, Premium), MCP support is now in public preview for v2 SKUs — Basic v2, Standard v2, and Premium v2 — with no pre-requisites or manual enablement required. \n \n You can now: \n \n Expose any REST API as an MCP server in v2 SKUs \n Protect it with Microsoft Entra ID, keys or tokens \n Register tools in Azure API Center \n \n 2. Expose existing MCP-compliant servers (pass-through scenario) \n Already using tools hosted in Logic Apps, Azure Functions, LangChain or custom runtimes? Now you can govern those external tool servers by exposing them through API Management. \n \n Use API Management to: \n \n Secure external MCP servers with OAuth, rate limits, and Credential Manager \n Monitor and log usage with Azure Monitor and Application Insights \n Unify discovery with internal tools via Azure API Center \n \n 🔗 You bring the tools. API Management brings the governance. \n 🧭 What’s Next \n We’re actively expanding MCP capabilities in API Management: \n \n Tool-level access policies for granular governance \n Support for MCP resources and prompts to expand beyond tools \n \n 📚 Get Started \n \n 📘 Expose APIs as MCP servers \n 🌐 Connect external MCP servers \n 🔐 Secure access to MCP servers \n 🔎 Discover tools in API Center \n \n Summary \n Azure API Management is your single control plane for agents, tools and APIs — whether you're building internal copilots or connecting external toolchains. This preview unlocks more flexibility, less friction, and a secure foundation for the next wave of agent-powered applications. \n No new infrastructure. Secure by default. Built for the future.

In this issue: \n \n Ace Aviator of the Month \n News from our product group \n News from our community \n \n \n Ace Aviator of the Month \n August Ace Aviator: Jenny Anderson \n \n What's your role and title? What are your responsibilities? \n I’m an Integration Architect at Tietoevry Tech Services, where I work with large enterprise customers to develop integration solutions. For the past two years my main focus has been on cloud and hybrid integrations. I design integration architectures, advise on best practices including security and the chosen architecture, and collaborate closely with development teams to implement and maintain these solutions. \n Can you give us some insights into your day-to-day activities and what a typical day in your role looks like? \n My days usually start with scrum meetings across ongoing projects, which help me stay updated on progress, align with teams and prioritize my tasks for the day. After that, I often have customer meetings where I advise on integration strategies, provide architectural guidance or work on pre-sales engagements to scope out potential solutions. Recently, a big focus has been on BizTalk migrations, helping customers modernize their integration platforms by moving to Azure-based solutions. I try to dedicate my afternoons to hands-on technical work, which I really enjoy. Lately, that’s involved working with the new hybrid capabilities in Logic Apps. It’s a great mix of strategic consulting and deep technical implementation, which keeps the role dynamic and rewarding. \n What motivates and inspires you to be an active member of the Aviators/Microsoft community? \n I’ve always received a lot of support from the community especially when I was starting out in my career and I still benefit from it today. That generosity and openness made a big impact on me, so I feel it’s important to give back whenever I can. For me it’s a way to pay it forward and stay connected to a network that has helped me grow both technically and professionally. \n Looking back, what advice do you wish you had been given earlier that you'd now share with those looking to get into STEM/technology? \n Don’t overthink it, just start doing! In the beginning of my career, I assumed that everyone else knew everything, and that I couldn’t contribute or be part of certain areas because I didn’t know enough. But the truth is, no one knows everything, and that’s completely okay. The best way to learn is by doing and taking on challenges, making mistakes and growing from experience. I believe confidence comes from action, not from waiting until you feel “ready.” \n What has helped you grow professionally? \n One thing that has really helped me grow is surrounding myself with people who have different experiences or areas of expertise, whether at work, in communities, or through networking. I’ve learned a lot simply by asking questions, even the ones that might seem obvious. I also try to say yes to new opportunities, especially when they push me outside my comfort zone. Being an overthinker, I’ve developed a personal mantra: “Think 40%, do 60%.” It reminds me not to get stuck in planning or doubt, but to take action and learn along the way. That mindset has really helped me move forward. \n If you had a magic wand that could create a feature in Logic Apps, what would it be and why? \n If I could use a bit of magic in Logic Apps, I’d want AI to automagically handle all the data mappings. It’s honestly my least favorite part of integration work. It takes forever, it’s a bit dull and yet it’s always important. So, if AI could just step in and quietly take care of it, I wouldn’t complain. I’ve also heard a few customers ask for a disconnected control plane that can be hosted on-premises. That would be a big win for scenarios where cloud access is limited or compliance rules are extra strict. \n \n News from our product group \n \n \n \n \n \n Logic Apps Live July 2025 \n Missed Logic Apps Live in July?

The registry puts your MCPs just one click away for developers, ensuring no setup fuss and a direct path to coding brilliance. \n Why a private registry? 🤔 \n Public OSS registries have been instrumental in driving growth and innovation across the MCP ecosystem. But as adoption scales, so does the need for tighter security, governance, and control, this is where private MCP registries step in. This is where Azure API Center steps in. Azure API Center offers a powerful and centralized approach to MCP discovery and governance across diverse teams and services within an organization. \n Let's delve into the key benefits of leveraging a private MCP registry with Azure API Center. \n \n Security and Trust: The Foundation of AI Adoption \n \n Review and Verification: Public registries, by their open nature, accept submissions from a wide range of developers. This can introduce risks from tools with limited security practices or even malicious intent. A private registry empowers your organization to thoroughly review and verify every MCP server before it becomes accessible to internal developers or AI agents (like Copilot Studio and AI Foundry). This eliminates the risk of introducing random, potentially vulnerable first or third-party tools into your ecosystem. \n Reduced Attack Surface: By controlling which MCP servers are accessible, organizations significantly shrink their potential attack surface. When your AI agents interact solely with known and secure internal tools, the likelihood of external attackers exploiting vulnerabilities in unvetted solutions is drastically reduced. \n Enterprise-Grade Authentication and Authorization: Private registries enable the enforcement of your existing robust enterprise authentication and authorization mechanisms (e.g., OAuth 2) across all MCP servers. Public registries, in contrast, may have varying or less stringent authentication requirements. \n Enforced AI Gateway Control (Azure API Management): Beyond vetting, a private registry enables organizations to route all MCP server traffic through an AI gateway such as Azure API Management. This ensures that every interaction, whether internal or external, adheres to strict security policies, including centralized authentication, authorization, rate limiting, and threat protection, creating a secure front for your AI services. \n \n Governance and Control: Navigating the AI Landscape with Confidence \n \n Centralized Oversight and \"Single Source of Truth\": A private registry provides a centralized \"single source of truth\" for all AI-related tools and data connections within your organization. This empowers comprehensive oversight of AI initiatives, clearly identifying ownership and accountability for each MCP server. \n Preventing \"Shadow AI\": Without a formal registry, individual teams might independently develop or integrate AI tools, leading to \"shadow AI\" – unmanaged and unmonitored AI deployments that can pose significant risks. A private registry encourages a standardized approach, bringing all AI tools under central governance and visibility. \n Tailored Tool Development: Organizations can develop and host MCP servers specifically tailored to their unique needs and requirements. This means optimized efficiency and utility, providing specialized tools you won't typically find in broader public registries. \n Simplified Integration and Accelerated Development: A well-managed private registry simplifies the discovery and integration of internal tools for your AI developers. This significantly accelerates the development and deployment of AI-powered applications, fostering innovation. \n \n \n \n Good news!

Ensuring the reliability of this layer is crucial - but as systems grow more distributed, it becomes harder to isolate failures, detect misconfigurations, or trace degraded performance to its root cause. \n The SRE Agent helps APIM users stay ahead of these challenges by providing both diagnostics and remediation tailored for API Management environments. \n You can ask the SRE agent direct API Management questions or concerns such as: \n \n “My API Management is giving me 503 errors” \n “We updated our policies yesterday, and now the backend is timing out.” \n “Can you help me figure out why requests to our billing API are failing?” \n “Show me recent changes to our APIM instance.” \n “What’s the failure rate on our orders operation this week?” \n \n Proactively Monitor API Management App Health \n The SRE Agent continuously monitors the overall health of your API Management service. It tracks key metrics such as CPU utilization, latency, error rates, and availability over time, surfacing any abnormal patterns and offering insight into capacity. \n \n This helps teams anticipate issues before they impact users and plan for scaling with confidence. \n Visualize Backend Connections and Health \n One of the most valuable APIM capabilities introduced with the agent is backend mapping. The agent can identify which backend services each API operation routes to, and visualize the health of those backends. \n \n \n \n This makes it much easier to answer operational questions like: \n \n “Which backend is responsible for the spike in errors on my /checkout API?” \n “Are there any timeouts happening from APIM to service X?” \n \n Drill into Backend App Issues \n If the root cause lies in a backend application - whether it's a service hosted in Azure Container Apps, Azure Functions Apps App Service, or another compute platform - the SRE Agent can go further. It analyzes backend-specific metrics such as memory and CPU usage, response time distribution, recent deployments, and any logged exceptions. \n \n \n \n The agent correlates this backend behavior with the observed degradation at the API Management layer to provide a full stack view of what’s happening. \n For example: \n “Your backend container app failed 37% of requests in the last hour due to out-of-memory errors. This correlated with a 5xx spike at the /stock/check API operation.” \n Detect and Fix Configuration Issues \n The SRE Agent also helps uncover common configuration issues that lead to downtime or silent failures, including: \n \n Malformed API policies \n Missing or misapplied network rules (NSGs, VNet) \n Incorrect scaling configuration or quota enforcement \n \n But it doesn’t stop at diagnostics. Where safe and possible, the agent can also perform remediation with your approval - for example, by adjusting NSG rules, scaling your API Management, etc. \n Built for Teams that Depend on APIM \n If API Management is critical to your infrastructure, the SRE Agent gives you an extra layer of confidence - offering the clarity and tooling needed to maintain uptime, reduce operational overhead, and catch issues before they escalate. \n The APIM-specific capabilities of SRE Agent are now available, and can be used in any SRE Agent resource (currently in preview). \n \n Signup for preview access \n \n We’re excited to bring this level of intelligence and automation to APIM, and we’re looking forward to your feedback as we continue to evolve the experience. \n Additional resources \n \n Azure SRE Agent overview (preview) | Microsoft Learn \n Introducing Azure SRE Agent | Microsoft Community Hub \n ","body@stripHtml({\"removeProcessingText\":true,\"removeSpoilerMarkup\":true,\"removeTocMarkup\":true,\"truncateLength\":-1})@stringLength":"4311","kudosSumWeight":5,"repliesCount":4,"readOnly":false,"images":{"__typename":"AssociatedImageConnection","edges":[{"__typename":"AssociatedImageEdge","cursor":"MjUuM3wyLjF8b3wyNXxfTlZffDE","node":{"__ref":"AssociatedImage:{\"url\":\"https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/s/gxcuf89792/images/bS00NDM2NzQzLVFIc1lOSw?revision=2\"}"}},{"__typename":"AssociatedImageEdge","cursor":"MjUuM3wyLjF8b3wyNXxfTlZffDI","node":{"__ref":"AssociatedImage:{\"url\":\"https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/s/gxcuf89792/images/bS00NDM2NzQzLUVWaGNQMw?revision=2\"}"}},{"__typename":"AssociatedImageEdge","cursor":"MjUuM3wyLjF8b3wyNXxfTlZffDM","node":{"__ref":"AssociatedImage:{\"url\":\"https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/s/gxcuf89792/images/bS00NDM2NzQzLURHV0FrUQ?revision=2\"}"}},{"__typename":"AssociatedImageEdge","cursor":"MjUuM3wyLjF8b3wyNXxfTlZffDQ","node":{"__ref":"AssociatedImage:{\"url\":\"https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/s/gxcuf89792/images/bS00NDM2NzQzLUZsc0VkSg?revision=2\"}"}}],"totalCount":4,"pageInfo":{"__typename":"PageInfo","hasNextPage":false,"endCursor":null,"hasPreviousPage":false,"startCursor":null}},"videos":{"__typename":"VideoConnection","edges":[],"totalCount":0,"pageInfo":{"__typename":"PageInfo","hasNextPage":false,"endCursor":null,"hasPreviousPage":false,"startCursor":null}},"coverImage":{"__typename":"UploadedImage","url":"https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/s/gxcuf89792/images/bS00NDM2NzQzLVFIc1lOSw?revision=2"},"coverImageProperties":{"__typename":"CoverImageProperties","style":"STANDARD","titlePosition":"BOTTOM","altText":""}},"Conversation:conversation:4435589":{"__typename":"Conversation","id":"conversation:4435589","topic":{"__typename":"BlogTopicMessage","uid":4435589},"lastPostingActivityTime":"2025-07-24T09:12:21.704-07:00","solved":false},"AssociatedImage:{\"url\":\"https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/s/gxcuf89792/images/bS00NDM1NTg5LWxMV0tHZA?revision=5\"}":{"__typename":"AssociatedImage","url":"https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/s/gxcuf89792/images/bS00NDM1NTg5LWxMV0tHZA?revision=5","title":"2025 Federated API management and API Management workspaces.png","associationType":"COVER","width":3814,"height":1467,"altText":""},"BlogTopicMessage:message:4435589":{"__typename":"BlogTopicMessage","subject":"Workspaces Are Now Generally Available In Azure API Management Premium v2","conversation":{"__ref":"Conversation:conversation:4435589"},"id":"message:4435589","revisionNum":5,"uid":4435589,"depth":0,"board":{"__ref":"Blog:board:IntegrationsonAzureBlog"},"author":{"__ref":"User:user:1184683"},"teaser@stripHtml({\"removeProcessingText\":true,\"truncateLength\":-1})":"","introduction":"","metrics":{"__typename":"MessageMetrics","views":594},"postTime":"2025-07-23T07:34:07.164-07:00","lastPublishTime":"2025-07-23T07:42:00.796-07:00","body@stripHtml({\"removeProcessingText\":true,\"removeSpoilerMarkup\":true,\"removeTocMarkup\":true,\"truncateLength\":-1})":" We’re excited to announce the general availability of workspaces and workspace gateways in the Premium v2 tier of Azure API Management!

You may have already encountered discussions about MCP, so let's clarify some key concepts: \n \n Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized way, (a protocol), for AI models to interact with external tools, (and either read data or perform actions) and to enrich context for ANY language models. \n AI Agents/Assistants are autonomous LLM-powered applications with the ability to use tools to connect to external services required to accomplish tasks on behalf of users. \n Tools are components made available to Agents allowing them to interact with external systems, perform computation, and take actions to achieve specific goals. \n Azure API Management: As a platform-as-a-service, API Management supports the complete API lifecycle, enabling organizations to create, publish, secure, and analyze APIs with built-in governance, security, analytics, and scalability. \n \n New Cool Kid in Town - MCP \n AI Agents are becoming widely adopted due to enhanced Large Language Model (LLM) capabilities. However, even the most advanced models face limitations due to their isolation from external data. Each new data source requires custom implementations to extract, prepare, and make data accessible for any model(s). - A lot of heavy lifting. \n Anthropic developed an open-source standard - the Model Context Protocol (MCP), to connect your agents to external data sources such as local data sources (databases or computer files) or remote services (systems available over the internet through e.g. APIs). \n \n \n \n MCP Hosts: LLM applications such as chat apps or AI assistant in your IDEs (like GitHub Copilot in VS Code) that need to access external capabilities \n MCP Clients: Protocol clients that maintain 1:1 connections with servers, inside the host application \n MCP Servers: Lightweight programs that each expose specific capabilities and provide context, tools, and prompts to clients \n MCP Protocol: Transport layer in the middle \n \n At its core, MCP follows a client-server architecture where a host application can connect to multiple servers. Whenever your MCP host or client needs a tool, it is going to connect to the MCP server. The MCP server will then connect to for example a database or an API. MCP hosts and servers will connect with each other through the MCP protocol. \n \n You can create your own custom MCP Servers that connect to your or organizational data sources. \n For a quick start, please visit our GitHub repository to learn how to build a remote MCP server using Azure Functions without authentication: https://aka.ms/mcp-remote \n \n Remote vs. Local MCP Servers \n The MCP standard supports two modes of operation: \n \n Remote MCP servers: MCP clients connect to MCP servers over the Internet, establishing a connection using HTTP and Server-Sent Events (SSE), and authorizing the MCP client access to resources on the user's account using OAuth. \n Local MCP servers: MCP clients connect to MCP servers on the same machine, using stdio as a local transport method. \n \n Azure API Management as the AI Auth Gateway \n Now that we have learned that MCP servers can connect to remote services through an API. The question now rises, how can we expose our remote MCP servers in a secure and scalable way? This is where Azure API Management comes in. A way that we can securely and safely expose tools as MCP servers. Azure API Management provides: \n \n Security: AI agents often need to access sensitive data. API Management as a remote MCP proxy safeguards organizational data through authentication and authorization. \n Scalability: As the number of LLM interactions and external tool integrations grows, API Management ensures the system can handle the load. \n \n Security remains to be a critical piece of building MCP servers, as agents will need to securely connect to protected endpoints (tools) to perform certain actions or read protected data. When building remote MCP servers, you need a way to allow users to login (Authenticate) and allow them to grant the MCP client access to resources on their account (Authorization). \n MCP - Current Authorization Challenges \n State: 4/10/2025 Recent changes in MCP authorization have sparked significant debate within the community. \n 🔍 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 with the Authorization Changes: \n \n The MCP server is now treated as both a resource server AND an authorization server. \n This dual role has fundamental implications for MCP server developers and runtime operations. \n \n 💡 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: To address these challenges, we recommend using 𝗔𝘇𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗣𝗜 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 as your authorization gateway for remote MCP servers. \n \n \n \n 🔗For an enterprise-ready solution, please check out our azd up sample repo to learn how to build a remote MCP server using Azure API Management as your authentication gateway: https://aka.ms/mcp-remote-apim-auth \n \n The Authorization Flow \n \n The workflow involves three core components: the MCP client, the APIM Gateway, and the MCP server, with Microsoft Entra managing authentication (AuthN) and authorization (AuthZ). \n Using the OAuth protocol, the client starts by calling the APIM Gateway, which redirects the user to Entra for login and consent. \n Once authenticated, Entra provides an access token to the Gateway, which then exchanges a code with the client to generate an MCP server token. \n This token allows the client to communicate securely with the server via the Gateway, ensuring user validation and scope verification. \n Finally, the MCP server establishes a session key for ongoing communication through a dedicated message endpoint. \n \n \n Diagram source: https://aka.ms/mcp-remote-apim-auth-diagram \n Conclusion \n Azure API Management (APIM) is an essential tool for enterprise customers looking to integrate AI models with external tools using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). In this blog, we've emphasized the simplicity of connecting AI agents to various data sources through MCP, streamlining previously complex implementations. Given the critical role of secure access to platforms and services for AI agents, APIM offers robust solutions for managing OAuth tokens and ensuring secure access to protected endpoints, making it an invaluable asset for enterprises, despite the challenges of authentication. \n API Management: An Enterprise Solution for Securing MCP Servers \n Azure API Management is an essential tool for enterprise customers looking to integrate AI models with external tools using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It is designed to help you to securely expose your remote MCP servers. \n \n MCP servers are still very new, and as the technology evolves, API Management provides an enterprise-ready solution that will evolve with the latest technology.
