SergeyMenshykh f31ed0ded9 Use MCPStreamableHTTPTool in MCP skills sample

Replace raw mcp library imports (ClientSession, streamable_http_client)
with the framework's MCPStreamableHTTPTool to keep MCP server connections
consistent regardless of whether skills are enabled.

MCP-Based Agent Skills Sample

This sample demonstrates how to discover Agent Skills served over MCP with an Agent.

What it demonstrates

Connecting to a remote MCP server (over streamable HTTP) that exposes skill resources following the SEP-2640 convention.
Building a SkillsProvider from an MCPSkillsSource, which reads skill://index.json (SEP-2640 canonical discovery) and constructs skills from the index entries.
The progressive disclosure pattern across MCP: advertise → load → read resources, exactly as for filesystem-backed skills.

Running the Sample

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+
An Azure AI Foundry project with a deployed model
Azure CLI authentication (az login)
A running MCP server that hosts SEP-2640 skill resources (see "Providing an MCP server" below)

Setup

Set the following environment variables (in a .env file or your shell):

$env:FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT="https://your-endpoint.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/your-project"
$env:FOUNDRY_MODEL="gpt-4o-mini"
$env:MCP_SKILLS_SERVER_URL="https://your-mcp-server.example.com/mcp"

Run

python mcp_based_skill.py

Providing an MCP server

This sample is a consumer: it does not host an MCP server itself. To try it end-to-end you need an MCP server that exposes the SEP-2640 skill resources (skill://index.json plus per-skill SKILL.md).

See samples/02-agents/mcp/agent_as_mcp_server.py for an example of hosting an MCP server via the Agent Framework.
The Model Context Protocol working group maintains reference MCP-skills servers at modelcontextprotocol/experimental-ext-skills.
