What it does
An MCP server from the Azure GitHub organisation that lets an AI agent run Azure CLI commands through a single tool, call_az, which takes a command string and an optional timeout. It runs only as a local stdio subprocess of the client and is built from Go source; the az CLI must be installed. Authentication is detected automatically from workload identity, managed identity or an existing CLI login, or set explicitly for a service principal. A read-only mode and an optional security policy file restrict which commands may run, and command timeouts are configurable.
Capabilities
- Run Azure CLI commands through one tool
- Restrict commands with a read-only mode or a security policy file
- Authenticate with workload identity, managed identity, a service principal or an existing CLI login
- Set a timeout for each command
