PURPOSE

What you can do with Azure MCP Server

The Azure MCP Server exposes tools for 45+ Azure service areas to an agent, so it can inventory, operate, query and diagnose Azure resources under the signed-in user's permissions, alone or alongside GitHub Copilot for Azure in VS Code.

Suitable tasks

List storage accounts, VMs, web apps and other resources
Start, stop, restart or scale compute
Run Azure Monitor log queries and check resource health
Look up retail prices and quotas
Deploy with Bicep, Terraform docs and ARM
Work with SQL, Cosmos DB, PostgreSQL and Key Vault

CAPABILITIES AND LIMITATIONS

What Azure MCP Server can and cannot do

Capabilities

Service areas include Compute, Container Apps, ACR, AKS, SQL Database, PostgreSQL, Cosmos DB, Data Explorer, Storage, Foundry, AI Search, Monitor, Advisor, Quota, Backup, Key Vault, Event Grid, Event Hubs, IoT Hub, Retail Pricing, Terraform, Bicep and Resource Manager. azureMcp.serverMode chooses namespace (default), all or single tool exposure; azureMcp.enabledServices filters namespaces and azureMcp.readOnly blocks writes.

Limitations

Acts with the user's Azure RBAC; autonomous or misconfigured clients can perform destructive actions, so use least-privilege roles
Safety flags such as read-only are not standardised in MCP and may be ignored by some clients
Azure Quick Review tools require azqr v3.0.0+ on PATH
May interact with services outside Microsoft compliance boundaries; compliance is the user's responsibility
Telemetry is on by default (disable with AZURE_MCP_COLLECT_TELEMETRY=false)

REQUIREMENTS

What you need before using Azure MCP Server

DeclaredNo credentialsNo credentials declared

The registry listing declares no required environment variables or authentication. This is declared metadata, not a verified install — the repository README is the authority.

Declared by the Official MCP Registry, last synced Oct 23, 2026. Not independently verified by MCP Toplist.

Runtime: Node.js LTS with npx (@azure/mcp); alternatives are .NET 10 SDK (dnx), uvx / Python 3.10+, or Docker
Credentials: An Azure sign-in before starting: az login, the VS Code Azure: Sign In command, or AZURE_TENANT_ID / AZURE_CLIENT_ID / AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET for Docker
Permissions: Whatever Azure RBAC roles the signed-in identity holds

INSTALLATION AND FIRST TASK

Connect Azure MCP Server and confirm it works

Authenticate to Azure (az login or VS Code Azure: Sign In)
VS Code: install the Azure MCP Server extension (ms-azuretools.vscode-azure-mcp-server) and GitHub Copilot Chat
Other clients: add command npx with args ["-y", "@azure/mcp@latest", "server", "start"]
Optionally set serverMode, enabledServices and readOnly to narrow exposure

NuGet package
