Build a Pizza Ordering Agent with Microsoft Foundry and MCP

Description

In this hands-on session, you will learn how to create intelligent, domain-specific AI agents using the Microsoft Foundry Agent Service. We will walk through the process step by step — from building a basic agent to extending it with custom tools, external data, and live integrations. By the end of the workshop, you will have built your own Contoso PizzaBot, an AI assistant capable of: - Following customized system prompts - Using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to answer questions based on custom documents - Calling custom tools, such as a pizza calculator - Integrating with an MCP server for real-time menu and order management What do you need? - A browser and access to the Azure Portal: https://aka.ms/PortalAzure - An Azure subscription provided or use your own: https://aka.ms/GetAzureSubscription - A development environment with Python 3.13+ installed: https://aka.ms/Python3.10/Config - Familiarity with Python basics (no deep AI background required!) 👉 Get hands-on with today’s MCP lab repository: https://aka.ms/pizza-workshop/en-us #microsoftreactor #learnconnectbuild [eventID:26845]
