# Use Parallel with Microsoft Azure AI Foundry
Add Parallel Search MCP to Microsoft Azure AI Foundry agents for live web search and page extraction.
## What you can do
- - Give Foundry agents live web search and page extraction inside their reasoning loop.
- - Return current, source-backed answers with citations from agents built on Foundry Agent Service.
## How it works
The Parallel Search MCP server is a remote MCP tool in the Azure AI Foundry tool catalog, exposing web_search and web_fetch backed by Parallel's Search and Extract APIs.
Attach it to an agent as an MCP tool and the agent calls Parallel mid-loop, receiving token-efficient sourced excerpts; anonymous requests run in fast mode, and a Parallel API key raises rate limits for production use.
## Set up in three steps
- 1. Open the Parallel Search MCP listing in the Azure AI Foundry tool catalog.
- 2. Attach the MCP server to your agent, passing a Parallel API key as a Bearer token for production rate limits.
- 3. Run the agent and verify web_search and web_fetch return current, cited web results.
