Full integration of MCP into Azure AI Foundry Agents

Technical Feedback

Hey guys, I know you are already working on integrating MCP into Azure AI Foundry Agents, I just wanted to add that this would be insanely helpful and that I (as well as many others I suppose) would be very happy if it would make it out of the beta into the next stable version, similar to the integration in AI toolkit. Thank you!

Desired Outcome

Have MCP integrated into Azure AI Foundry Agents like in AI Toolkit

Current Workaround

Use the current beta for MCP integration or AI Toolkit for single Agents with MCP available

Thank you for sharing this 'wish' and sentiment @StraussLegalhero

adding @aprilgittens as our resident AI Toolkit expert to share any useful content
Also adding @gloveboxes who I know is currently building something himself with MCP in Azure AI Foundry Agents that can provide his top tips and tricks maybe

@StraussLegalhero if you ever do have any AITK specific questions with regards to MCP support, do feel free to reach out. I'll defer to @gloveboxes for his current work with Azure AI Foundry.
