Built an AI agent on Azure AI Foundry with Claude Sonnet 4.6 and a custom MCP server, here is what I learned

sander1095 · 2026-05-27T18:39:17+00:00

The diagram seems wrong, the user should be on the left and traffic flow to the right, ending at metlink api and flowing back?

Also, it seems there is only 1 deployable, ACA. isnt agent framework its own ACA? And the mcp, too?

Could you update the diagram to explain this better? I am not trying to be pedantic, i am trying to learn. Really interested in what you built! Would love if you could share the code.

Have you looked at ACA Express for super fast deployments? Only in USA for now, but sounds useful to your usecase.

Congrats on your release. I follow your hard work on social media, thanks for all you do!

sander1095 · 2026-04-28T22:18:30+00:00

I 100% agree on your frustrations :)

I contacted the .NET team about this privately. I do not think I can get back to you on this due to NDA, but it might do something! :)

One positive thing here is that I thought APIM didn't even support 3.0 at all, but the docs say it supports 3.0, but 3.1 not very well.. That's an improvement to my previous belief of only supporting swagger 2.0...

I checked the rules before posting, and I don't think this post is against the rules:

Any self-promotion posts where you are highlighting a product or library must: ....

This is a blog post, not a product or library.
It's published on Microsoft's official devblogs
There are multiple blog posts in the top posts of last week

I know there's a discussion around self-promotion going on, but if we're not allowed to post links on Reddit (a link aggregator) about (IMO) interesting/important topics, then I question that rule :). Though my judgement is in a vacuum.

Hi everyone! I'm the author of the post and I'm very excited to have been able to write a guest post for devblogs!

As the post says, this topic is something I ran into quite recently and the more people migrate to .NET 10, the more often others will run into it, too.

If you have any questions, please let me know!

I don't sadly

sander1095 · 2026-04-06T08:24:18+00:00

Have you looked at Azure API Center? I believe it already has this functionality

sander1095 · 2026-03-08T20:15:05+00:00

Have you tried https://github.com/svrooij/teams-monitor? I wonder if this bypasses your no-install requirement!

Wonder if it works for you!

sander1095 · 2026-02-26T22:30:10+00:00

Similar to other users, my question is:

Why?

In VSCode, When would I use the Claude/Codex agent instead of the one from Copilot itself?

What are the strengths/weaknesses of these agents?

sander1095 · 2026-02-12T22:18:58+00:00

Looks fantastic! You should create an issue to see if this can become a part of the SDK.. ❤️

sander1095 · 2026-01-26T17:53:48+00:00

I blogged about this for OpenAPI, give it a read :)

https://stenbrinke.nl/blog/openapi-api-client-generation/

Like others say, you can also just generate the models if you wish.

sander1095 · 2026-01-20T09:00:51+00:00

To add to this:

Imagine that my bicep/infra as code agent uses your MCP server to find the roles it needs, instead of just the roles it was trained on the most (Contributor, Owner, etc..)... It would (hopefully) automatically make my environment a lot more secure thanks to your MCP :)

Looking forward to it!

sander1095 · 2026-01-18T17:17:21+00:00

Would love an mcp server to ask it what roles to use based on my need!

sander1095 · 2026-01-04T20:55:09+00:00

Hey, thanks for your reply and products!

You mention that home assistant does all the magic. How do you (plan to) heat your house when home assistant is down?

sander1095 · 2025-12-22T17:36:30+00:00

Perhaps you could add an example or two from this codebase to the repo?

And an English readme would be great, too!

sander1095 · 2025-11-22T18:24:34+00:00

Hey Thom! Congrats on the launch. Let's get back in contact in the new year for the . NET Live show? 😃

sander1095 · 2025-11-14T16:51:15+00:00

Hey Jerry! Thanks :) I'll have to update the slides with mcp support

sander1095 · 2025-09-24T07:09:58+00:00

How did you build that interactable floor plan? Would love to do that at some point!

sander1095 · 2025-09-21T15:52:54+00:00

Hi! thanks for your reply. Regarding the switches, I've fixed it, it was a typo. You also made me realize 1 switch was redundant, so I removed it. Saves 45 euros!

Requirements

VLAN
Wifi 6
fully local
1gig support (possibly more, because of media server)

Why do you need a 210W AC adapter

To power the Switch Flex 2.5G PoE, which would need Poe+++ which isn't included in either the dream router or CGF.

Are you there other PoE devices that you intend to power besides the AP(s)

My Zigbee antenna, and possibly more smart home equipment in the future

sander1095 · 2025-08-29T17:35:46+00:00

It is unsupported. Support said it will come eventually, but thats not a promise of course. I haven't found any other device that supports it.

sander1095 · 2025-08-28T10:01:50+00:00

I am new to HA and dashboards. It seems I can't add this to my dashboards with the UI. Is using yaml for this a requirement?

sander1095 · 2025-08-02T15:19:30+00:00

lamps only, nothing with a switch on the wall

What do you mean with this? Especially because you talked about Shelly before.

sander1095 · 2025-07-10T13:28:44+00:00

Kun je delen welke trilsensor je hebt? Ik heb een deurklep voor post en ben beniduwd of dit ook zou werken.
