DivSwa introduces the new capability to use Azure Logic Apps connectors as MCP tools within Microsoft Foundry, providing developers with secure, code-free ways to integrate enterprise systems in agentic apps.

Azure Logic Apps Connectors Now Available as MCP Tools in Microsoft Foundry

Author: DivSwa

Introduction

At Ignite 2025, Microsoft Foundry introduced a public preview of Azure Logic Apps connectors as Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools. Developers can now provide their agents with secure, governed, and code-free access to enterprise systems via hundreds of available Logic Apps connectors.

Overview

  • Foundry is a unified catalog of tools, connectors, and MCP servers allowing for standardized agent creation.
  • The new feature lets agents natively use Logic Apps connectors as first-class MCP tools, removing the need for manual authentication or API integration code.
  • Supported connectors include a broad range: SAP, ServiceNow, Dynamics, Salesforce, SQL, GitHub, and many more.
  • Both connectors and custom workflows can be exposed as MCP tools, letting agents operate over complex business processes securely.

How It Works

  1. Select a Logic Apps Connector:
    • In the Agent Tools catalog within Foundry, browse or filter for Logic Apps connectors (labeled Custom).
  2. Create or Select a Standard Logic App:
    • Each connector requires a Standard Logic Apps resource as its host. Foundry facilitates either creating a new Logic App or selecting an existing one.
  3. Configure the Connector as an MCP Server:
    • Select operations to expose as agent actions.
    • Optionally adjust parameter behavior and define whether parameters are supplied by the model or user.
    • Edit the tool description based on the connector’s OpenAPI definition for clarity and accuracy.
    • The UI clearly indicates which parameters require user input.
  4. Register the MCP Server in Foundry:
    • Registration starts in the Azure portal and completes in the Foundry portal.
    • The new MCP tool appears in the Agent tool catalog, linked to the backing Logic Apps resource in the Connected Resources view.
    • Agents can now leverage these connectors as native tools instantly.

Additional Notes

  • Foundry continues to support custom MCP servers. Workflows built in Logic Apps can also be registered as MCP tools using the same process (detailed documentation).

Roadmap

  • Unified Experience: While initial setup involves both the Azure and Foundry portals, an all-in-one Foundry workflow will be introduced in the future.
  • OAuth-based Connectors: Some first-party connectors that use OAuth are not yet supported but will be enabled soon.
