Foundry Hosting integration for Microsoft Agent Framework.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are building agents with Microsoft's Agent Framework and plan to deploy to Foundry infrastructure. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and provides essential durable state management with automatic user isolation. The beta status and recent release date (2026-08-14) suggest it is still evolving; review the sample code and state-store guide before committing to production use.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later.
- Local state persistence writes to ~/.agentserver/state_stores by default; set AGENTSERVER_STATE_ROOT environment variable to customize the root directory.
- Active maintenance with a recent release (2026-08-14) and low install friction.

What it is and what it does
Agent-framework-foundry-hosting bridges Microsoft's Agent Framework with the Foundry Agent Server, enabling agents and workflows to run on Foundry-hosted infrastructure. It provides three durable state stores out of the box: FoundryAgentSessionStore (for Agent Framework sessions), FoundryCheckpointStore (for workflow checkpoints), and FoundryFunctionApprovalStore (for function approvals). When hosted on Foundry, all state is automatically isolated by platform user ID—no manual partitioning needed. Outside Foundry, state persists as JSON files locally under ~/.agentserver/state_stores.
The package depends on agent-framework-core, three azure-ai-agentserver modules (core, responses, invocations), httpx, and mcp. It's in beta (1.0.0b260813) but actively maintained, with support for Python 3.10 through 3.14. The permissive license and low install friction make it straightforward to add to an Agent Framework project that targets Foundry deployment.
Use it for
- Deploy Agent Framework agents to Foundry infrastructure with automatic durable session and checkpoint storage.
- Build multi-user agent applications where session data must be isolated by platform user ID without custom partitioning logic.
- Persist workflow checkpoints across agent restarts to enable long-running, resumable workflows.
- Manage function approval workflows with durable storage that works both locally (file-based) and on Foundry (cloud-backed).
- Develop agents locally using file-based state stores, then deploy the same code to Foundry with zero storage configuration changes.
