Azure Logic Apps adds remote MCP servers for Standard workflows

Azure Logic Apps now supports creating remote Model Context Protocol servers from Standard workflows in preview, letting AI agents, LLMs and MCP clients securely discover and call enterprise automation workflows as tools. Eligible workflows must run in a Workflow Service Plan or App Service Environment v3, start with the When an HTTP request is received trigger, and end with the Response action.

The setup can use existing Request-Response workflows or generate new workflows from connector actions. Azure Logic Apps hosts the remote MCP server and exposes workflows as tools, while clients such as Visual Studio Code connect to the server and make those tools available to an agent or model. Multiple logical MCP servers can be grouped in a single Standard logic app, with each server acting as an independently discoverable workflow group.

Security options include OAuth through Microsoft Entra ID and Easy Auth, or key-based access using generated MCP API keys. The platform also supports monitoring through workflow run history and integrations with Application Insights or Log Analytics, plus connectivity options for cloud, private endpoint, virtual network and on-premises scenarios. Standard logic app-based MCP servers support Streamable HTTP and Server-Sent Events transports.
