Work with Azure resources such as Storage, Cosmos DB, Key Vault, Monitor and AKS from one Microsoft-maintained server.

Microsoft's Azure MCP server exposes tools across dozens of Azure services: listing subscriptions and resource groups, querying Log Analytics and Monitor, reading Storage and Cosmos DB, managing Key Vault secrets, AKS, App Configuration, and more, plus Azure best-practice guidance. It signs in with your existing Azure identity (Azure CLI, VS Code or environment credentials), so its reach matches your RBAC role. Use a reader role for exploration and namespace or read-only options to narrow the tool set. Strong fit for Azure ops and troubleshooting.

Try asking:

"List the resource groups in my subscription and their main resources."
"Query Log Analytics for errors from the 'api' app in the last hour."
"Which storage accounts allow public blob access?"

Sign-in: an API key or token (set it in the install snippet below).
