How do I build AI agents for Azure AI Foundry using the .NET SDK?▼

You can build Azure AI Foundry agents using the .NET SDK by leveraging the Microsoft Agent Framework. It provides the AIAgent abstraction, tool integration, and memory management required to create and run stateless or persistent agents.

Can I integrate Model Context Protocol (MCP) with Azure AI agents in C#?▼

Yes, C# Azure AI agents can integrate with Model Context Protocol (MCP) using the Microsoft Agent Framework. This allows your agents to access and interact with server-side tools and resources via the ModelContextProtocol.Client dependency.

What dependencies are required to create a Foundry agent with Microsoft Agent Framework?▼

Creating a Foundry agent requires the Microsoft.Agents.AI and Microsoft.Agents.AI.Foundry packages, along with Azure.Identity, Azure.AI.Projects, and ModelContextProtocol.Client dependencies for authentication, project management, and MCP integration.

How do I get structured JSON output from an Azure AI Foundry agent?▼

To get structured JSON output from an Azure AI Foundry agent, use the ChatResponseFormat feature within the Microsoft Agent Framework. This enables the agent to produce structured responses formatted according to a specified JSON schema.

Does the Microsoft Agent Framework support cross-session memory for Foundry agents?▼

Yes, the Microsoft Agent Framework supports cross-session memory for Foundry agents by attaching the FoundryMemoryProvider. This enables continuous user memory recall across different sessions and interactions.
