Azure MCP Server

What it does

Microsoft's MCP server for working with Azure from an AI agent. It bundles tools for dozens of Azure services in one process, covering areas such as Storage, Cosmos DB, Key Vault, AKS, Azure Monitor, SQL Database, pricing, quotas and Microsoft Foundry models and agents. It normally runs locally over stdio, started through npx, uvx or the .NET dnx command, or installed as an extension in VS Code, Visual Studio, IntelliJ or Eclipse; it can also be self-hosted as a remote endpoint on Azure Container Apps. You sign in to Azure before starting it, and a read-only setting blocks write operations. Version 2.0 is generally available.
