This solution deploys a secure MCP (Model Context Protocol) server infrastructure on Azure. The architecture implements a multi-layered security model with Azure API Management serving as an intelligent gateway that handles authentication, authorization, and request routing.

The infrastructure provisions the following Azure resources:
User-Assigned Managed Identity - Enables secure service-to-service authentication
Entra ID Application Registration - OAuth2/OpenID Connect client for authentication
