Deploying Azure APIM MCP Servers with Bicep

Azure API Management (APIM) service is one of the building blocks for AI applications. At the same time MCP (Model Context Protocol) server is one of the latest capabilities around AI. Not so long ago APIM announced support for exposing either existing MCP servers or existing APIs as MCP servers. I have played around with this functionality lately and what it turned out is that these MCPs Servers in APIM are just API resource underneath which means it can be easily deployed with Azure Bicep. In this blog post I will show you how to do it with examples.

Generate Documentation for Azure Bicep Modules with GitHub Copilot

Bicep modules provide this awesome feature to be able to create schema for your Bicep modules via User-defined data types.

Monitoring canceled Azure Subscriptions

Azure Subscription cannot be just deleted. They go trough different states. Although you might have taken all necessary to secure your Azure tenant sometimes mistakes happen or your environment might be compromised by bad actors. The first step of removing Azure Subscription is to cancel it. That is critical action that you may want to monitor although you should have in place other ways to monitor resources that will signal that they are not available. In any case additional alert that this action was done could be useful information to be alerted upon. In this blog posts we will take a look how we can do that by using Azure Monitor. The deployment of the Azure Monitor resource will be done via Azure Bicep.
