SQL and MCP, Azure SQL Edition In part one, I covered the basics of your Data API Builder setup. Now, it's time to get into the real stuff :). For the demo, I'm using the Stack Overflow 2013 database on an Azure SQL General Purpose Serverless 8-core database. It's not a very large dataset (making it less expensive to host on Azure), but it has enough data and online examples to have some fun with.

Blog Alert!

This first blog will focus on the technology behind it; part 2 will focus on Azure SQL options; and the last part will dig a bit deeper into running this on your local database. There will be a little delay between publishing these posts, more like days than weeks though.

Quickstart - Azure Container Apps - SQL MCP Server Learn how to deploy SQL MCP Server to Azure Container Apps and connect it to Azure AI Foundry agents. Step-by-step guide with Azure CLI deployment steps.

If you're trying out the SQL MCP quickstart, make sure you change the Dockerfile to use data-api-builder:1.7.81-rc instead of the shown data-api-builder:1.7.83-rc. The latter seems broken: 81 works.
