/// 1. Creates an MCP client.
/// 2. Retrieves the list of tools provided by the MCP server.
/// 3. Creates a kernel and registers the MCP tools as Kernel functions.
/// 4. Defines Azure AI agent with instructions, name, kernel, and arguments.
/// 5. Invokes the agent with a prompt.
/// 6. The agent sends the prompt to the AI model, together with the MCP tools represented as Kernel functions.
/// 7. The AI model calls DateTimeUtils-GetCurrentDateTimeInUtc function to get the current date time in UTC required as an argument for the next function.
/// 8. The AI model calls WeatherUtils-GetWeatherForCity function with the current date time and the `Boston` arguments extracted from the prompt to get the weather information.
/// 9. Having received the weather information from the function call, the AI model returns the answer to the agent and the agent returns the answer to the user.
