Developing a Windows AI App powered by Azure-hosted MCP

The future of AI demands more than innovation—it requires thoughtful governance, measurable metrics, responsible usage, and yes, even rate limits. That’s not a punchline—it’s a reality.

Organizations today have a spectrum of options to architect and manage their own AI ecosystems. In this session, we showcase a sleek Windows-based AI application that empowers authenticated users with seamless access to tools and models hosted on an Azure Web Apps–powered MCP server.

Built on .NET, this solution strikes the perfect balance between open AI connectivity and controlled access to content. It leverages Microsoft Azure’s robust security and performance stack, while integrating Entra ID for device and app management—enhanced further with Intune.

This is integration done right: native, secure, and scalable. Welcome to the new standard of AI-powered interoperability.
