Install

/plugin install azure@claude-plugins-official

The plugin bundles the server, agents and Azure skills

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

The microsoft/mcp repository builds Azure MCP Server and Fabric MCP Server; this entry covers the former. The server bundles tools for many Azure services in one process and uses your Azure identity, for example after az login. The agent can read resource details, check configuration and run operations in a subscription. Tools can be grouped by namespace, filtered, or limited to read-only mode.

Who it is for. For developers and DevOps engineers whose infrastructure runs on Azure.

Good fit when

  • You want to ask the agent about resources and settings in an Azure subscription
  • You want to automate routine Azure operations from an IDE or terminal
  • You want Copilot or Claude Code to have cloud infrastructure context

Not a fit when

  • Your infrastructure is on another cloud
  • The agent must not get unrestricted access to a production subscription

Example request

List all storage accounts in my subscription and check which ones allow public access

Limitations

Requires an Azure account and authentication before starting the server, plus Node.js, the .NET 10 SDK or uv. Azure access from Russia depends on the account and region, so VPN-free use is not guaranteed. Telemetry is on by default; AZURE_MCP_COLLECT_TELEMETRY=false turns it off.

How to disable. Remove the azure-mcp-server block from the MCP config or uninstall the azure plugin via /plugin in Claude Code.

Security check

  • Acts in a cloud subscription on the user's behalf
  • Can create and change resources unless read-only mode is on

README in short

The root README lists Microsoft MCP servers and explains that Azure MCP and Fabric MCP are built here. The Azure MCP README covers installing via extensions for VS Code, Visual Studio, IntelliJ and Eclipse, a Claude Code plugin, or manually with dnx, npx or uvx. It includes GitHub Copilot CLI and SDK setup, a Docker image and NuGet, npm and PyPI packages. Authentication, per-service prompt examples and telemetry settings are documented. MIT licensed.

FAQ

Can I block changes?

Yes, the server supports a read-only mode that blocks write operations.

How does the Claude Code plugin differ from the MCP config?

The azure plugin ships the same server plus Azure agents and skills.
