MCP Apps extend the Model Context Protocol to let AI tools return rich, interactive UIs directly inside AI chat clients. Instead of plain text responses, your tools can serve full HTML experiences — think live weather widgets, data dashboards, or interactive forms — all rendered inline where the user is already working.
Azure App Service is a natural fit for hosting MCP Apps. You get always-on availability, built-in Easy Auth for identity, custom domains with managed TLS, and deployment slots for safe rollouts — all without managing infrastructure. It’s the simplest path from a working MCP App to a production endpoint.
The full article walks through building a weather widget MCP App from scratch and deploying it to Azure App Service. You’ll see how to define your tool, return interactive UI, and get it running in the cloud with just a few commands.
