Currently MCP only performs basic query to Azure Search and using only hybrid search, therefore user can't configure search parameters to get best search results.
Is it possible make the search query more flexible?

  • Make query type Full instead of Basic
  • Add function parameter to specify search type?

Function name: azuremcp_search_index_query
