About This Server
Microsoft's official MCP server lets AI agents work with the Azure cloud in natural language — query and manage Storage, Cosmos DB, Key Vault, AKS, Monitor and more, plugged in with a single npx command and authenticated via standard Azure identity.

Which Azure services can Azure MCP manage?
It covers many core services: Storage, Cosmos DB, Azure SQL, Key Vault, Monitor/Log Analytics, AKS, App Configuration, Service Bus and more — querying resources, running KQL log queries, reading configuration and secret references, etc. The server keeps expanding; see the official docs for the current list.
How does Azure MCP authenticate?
It uses standard Azure identity (DefaultAzureCredential): it reuses whatever you are already signed in with — Azure CLI (az login), the VS Code Azure account, or a service principal from environment variables — so you never hard-code secrets in config, and permissions follow your account's RBAC.
Is the old Azure/azure-mcp repo still around?
Azure MCP has been consolidated into Microsoft's official microsoft/mcp monorepo, and the old Azure/azure-mcp repo is archived. The npm package is still @azure/mcp and the install command is unchanged — just make sure you are using the official source.
