## What it does

This tool connects AI agents with Microsoft Azure services over the Model Context Protocol. It bundles cloud infrastructure tools into one local server. As a result, the assistant does not need separate integrations for each cloud task.

Execution relies on the `@azure/mcp` package. You can run it standalone inside Claude Code or alongside the GitHub Copilot for Azure extension. Because launch happens via `npx`, Node.js must be present on your system.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)
- Works with: Azure

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Platform CLI**
```bash
claude mcp add azure -- npx -y @azure/mcp
```

### Codex

**Platform CLI**
```bash
codex mcp add azure.mcp.server -- npx -y @azure/mcp
```

### Cursor

**Config file**
File `.cursor/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "azure.mcp.server": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "@azure/mcp"
            ]
        }
    }
}
```

### GitHub Copilot

**Config file**
File `.vscode/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "servers": {
        "azure.mcp.server": {
            "type": "stdio",
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "@azure/mcp"
            ]
        }
    }
}
```

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini mcp add azure.mcp.server npx -y @azure/mcp
```

## When to use it
- connect AI coding assistants to Microsoft Azure infrastructure
- manage cloud services through agent environments and code editors
- run Azure tools locally without managing separate plugins for each service

## Example prompts
- List all available resources in my active Azure subscription.
- Check the status of Azure services in the current resource group.
