MCP with Azure APIM

Описание: Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard by Anthropic (now part of the Linux Foundation's Agentic AI Foundation) that lets AI apps like Claude, GitHub Copilot, and ChatGPT connect to external tools, data sources, and APIs through a single unified protocol — no more custom integrations for each service.

In this video, we cover:

🔹 What MCP is and why it matters
🔹 MCP architecture: Hosts, Clients, Servers, Tools, Resources & Prompts
🔹 Authorization types: Private network, Key-based, and OAuth 2.1
🔹 Deep dive into the OAuth flow — PRM discovery, CIMD, DCR, and AS metadata
🔹 Authorization provider support (Entra, KeyCloak, Descope, WorkOS, Auth0, and more)
🔹 Using Azure API Management (APIM) as an MCP Server — expose existing APIs with built-in security, rate limiting & OAuth policies
Whether you're building agentic AI apps or looking to secure and scale your MCP servers in production, this session has you covered.
