Eine Wissensdatenbank mithilfe der Abrufaktion oder des MCP-Endpunkts abfragen

• Wenn Sie den MCP-Endpunkt über die Azure OpenAI-Antwort-API aufrufen, benötigen Sie Folgendes:

  • Ein bereitgestelltes LLM und die Rolle Cognitive Services OpenAI-Benutzer (oder ein API-Schlüssel) für die Foundry-Ressource. Sie können die in Ihrer Knowledge Base angegebenen LLM und Ressource ggf. wiederverwenden.

  • Das Azure.AI.OpenAI Paket: dotnet add package Azure.AI.OpenAI

• Erforderliches Azure.Search.Documents-Paket:

  • Für 2026-08-01-preview Funktionen das neueste Vorschaupaket: dotnet add package Azure.Search.Documents --prerelease

  • Für 2026-04-01 Features das neueste stabile Paket: dotnet add package Azure.Search.Documents

• Für die schlüssellose Authentifizierung das Paket Azure.Identity: dotnet add package Azure.Identity

• Wenn Sie den MCP-Endpunkt über die Azure OpenAI-Antwort-API aufrufen, benötigen Sie Folgendes:

  • Ein bereitgestelltes LLM und die Rolle Cognitive Services OpenAI-Benutzer (oder ein API-Schlüssel) für die Foundry-Ressource. Sie können die in Ihrer Knowledge Base angegebenen LLM und Ressource ggf. wiederverwenden.

  • Das openai Paket: pip install openai

• Erforderliches azure-search-documents-Paket:

  • Für 2026-08-01-preview Funktionen das neueste Vorschaupaket: pip install --pre azure-search-documents

  • Für 2026-04-01 Features das neueste stabile Paket: pip install azure-search-documents

• Für die schlüssellose Authentifizierung das Paket azure-identity: pip install azure-identity

• Erforderliche REST-API-Version für den Suchdienst:

  • Für Vorschaufunktionen: 2026-08-01-preview

  • Für allgemein verfügbare Features: 2026-04-01

• Fügen Sie für die schlüssellose Authentifizierung ein Microsoft Entra ID-Token in den Authorization Header jeder HTTP-Anforderung ein.
