Overview

What is Azure MCP Server?

An implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with Azure services, currently supporting Azure Blob Storage, Azure Cosmos DB (NoSQL API), and Azure App Configuration. All operations are automatically logged and accessible via the audit://azure-operations resource endpoint. It is designed for developers who want to manage Azure resources through AI assistants like Claude.

How to use Azure MCP Server?

Install via Smithery with npx -y @smithery/cli install @mashriram/azure_mcp_server --client claude, or manually by cloning the repository, configuring Azure credentials (via environment variables or Azure CLI), and adding the server configuration to Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json. Then ask Claude to perform Azure operations using the provided tools.

Frequently asked questions

What Azure services does Azure MCP Server support?

It supports Azure Blob Storage, Azure Cosmos DB (NoSQL API), and Azure App Configuration.

How do I authenticate to Azure?

Use `DefaultAzureCredential` via environment variables (`AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_URL`, `AZURE_COSMOSDB_ENDPOINT`, `AZURE_COSMOSDB_KEY`, `AZURE_APP_CONFIGURATION_ENDPOINT`) or the Azure CLI with `az login`.

How are operations logged?

All operations performed through the server are automatically logged and accessible via the `audit://azure-operations` resource endpoint.

What is the default database for Cosmos DB?

If `database_name` is not provided in tool calls, the server defaults to a database named `SampleDB`. Ensure this database exists or explicitly provide the correct database name.

Do I need to handle partition keys for Cosmos DB?

Yes, partition keys are required and case-sensitive. You must define them when creating containers and provide the correct partition key value when reading, replacing, or deleting items.
