The sample uses a Blazor chat interface, Copilot instructions and callable tools, and Model Context Protocol services for document handling and interview records. It emphasizes giving Copilot application-specific tools rather than access to shell commands or source files. ### Source excerpt An interview coach has to do more than ask questions. It needs to read a resume, follow up on an incomplete answer, and save enough context to give useful feedback at the end. Some of that work is conversation. Some of it requires calling an application service. The GitHub Copilot SDK lets you use the [...] The post Build an interview coach app with the GitHub Copilot SDK appeared first on Microsoft for Developers. ## From dotnet run to Foundry Hosted Agent in 3 lines of C# DevFeed: [From dotnet run to Foundry Hosted Agent in 3 lines of C#]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Bruno Capuano Published: 2026-08-24T19:00:00Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [.NET Blog]() Topics: [hosted-agents](), [Microsoft Agent Framework](), [Azure](), [C#](), [.NET](), [NuGet](), [Entra ID](), [Containers](), [telemetry]() Tags: [agent](), [agents](), [ai](), [azd](), [azure](), [blog](), [c-sharp](), [csharp](), [dotnet](), [entra-id](), [framework](), [hosted-agents](), [hosting](), [infrastructure](), [microsoft](), [microsoft-agent-framework](), [microsoft-foundry](), [net](), [nuget](), [observability](), [post](), [production]() ### AI overview This tutorial shows how to deploy a Microsoft Agent Framework console agent as a Foundry Hosted Agent using one NuGet package, three lines of C#, and two commands. Foundry provides managed Azure infrastructure, scaling, identity, session state, observability, and lifecycle management. ### Source excerpt You built an agent with Microsoft Agent Framework and it works great on your machine. Now what? Turns out deploying it to production takes 1 NuGet package, 3 lines of C#, and 2 commands. Let's do it.

I just gave a three-part live stream series all about Python + MCP. I showed how to: Build MCP servers in Python using FastMCP Deploy them into production on Azure (Container Apps and Functions) Add authentication, using either Keycloak and Microsoft Entra as the OAuth provider All of the materials from our series are available and linked below: Video recordings of each stream Powerpoint slides Open-source code samples complete with Azure infrastructure and 1-command deployment If you're an instructor, feel free to use the slides and code examples in your own classes. Spanish speaker? My colleague delivered a fantastic Spanish version of the series. Building MCP servers with FastMCP 📺 Watch YouTube recording In the intro session of our Python + MCP series, we dive into MCP (Model Context Protocol). This open protocol makes it easy to extend AI agents and chatbots with custom functionality, making them more powerful and flexible. We demonstrate how to use the Python FastMCP SDK to build an MCP server running locally. Then we consume that server from chatbots like GitHub Copilot in VS Code, using it's tools, resources, and prompts. Finally, we discover how easy it is to connect AI agent frameworks like Langchain and Microsoft agent-framework to the MCP server. Slides for this session Code repository with examples: python-mcp-demos Deploying MCP servers to the cloud 📺 Watch YouTube recording In our second session of the Python + MCP series, we deploy MCP servers to the cloud! We walk through the process of containerizing a FastMCP server with Docker and deploying to Azure Container Apps. Then we instrument the MCP server with OpenTelemetry and observe the tool calls using Azure Application Insights and Logfire. Finally, we explore private networking options for MCP servers, using virtual networks th
