Summary

Microsoft's official Azure MCP server — manage cloud resources and query monitoring data conversationally.

Features

Manage storage, databases, and Key Vault resources
Query Azure Monitor logs with KQL
Uses your existing Azure CLI credentials

Installation

Set up this MCP server in your favorite AI agent — copy a ready-made configuration below.

Any MCP-compatible agent

Most agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and more) read a standard mcpServers configuration.

Open your agent's MCP configuration file.
Merge the snippet below into it.
Restart the agent — the "Azure" tools will be available.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "azure": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@azure/mcp",
        "server",
        "start"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add the server with a single CLI command.

claude mcp add azure -- npx -y @azure/mcp server start

Claude Desktop

Add the server to claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config).

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "azure": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@azure/mcp",
        "server",
        "start"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

{
  "command": "npx",
  "args": [
    "-y",
    "@azure/mcp",
    "server",
    "start"
  ]
}

Windsurf

{
  "command": "npx",
  "args": [
    "-y",
    "@azure/mcp",
    "server",
    "start"
  ]
}

VS Code

{
  "command": "npx",
  "args": [
    "-y",
    "@azure/mcp",
    "server",
    "start"
  ]
}

Description

Microsoft's official Azure MCP server connects an assistant to an Azure subscription across a broad set of services.

Coverage

Storage — blob containers, tables, and file shares
Databases — Cosmos DB, Azure SQL, PostgreSQL, and MySQL
Key Vault for secrets, keys, and certificates
Azure Monitor with KQL queries against Log Analytics workspaces, which is the killer feature: writing correct KQL from memory is genuinely hard
AI services including Azure OpenAI and AI Search
Resource management — subscriptions, resource groups, and configuration
Azure CLI and Developer CLI invocation for anything not covered by a dedicated tool

Authentication

It uses DefaultAzureCredential, meaning it inherits whatever identity you are already signed in with through the Azure CLI. No separate credential handling, and the assistant's permissions are exactly your permissions — which is worth thinking about if you are signed in as an owner.

Runs with npx -y @azure/mcp@latest server start. Actively developed by Microsoft.
