What it does
The plugin joins an Azure knowledge layer with an execution layer over MCP. The skills describe working scenarios: prepare, validate, deploy and upgrade apps, diagnostics and monitoring, cost and quotas, and work across data, AI, identity and networking, with ready steps and guardrails. The MCP layer wires in the Azure MCP Server with tools for more than forty Azure services and Foundry MCP for Microsoft Foundry scenarios. It installs with one command in Claude Code, GitHub Copilot and other compatible agents, and through APM across several environments at once. It needs Node.js to run and an Azure CLI sign-in to reach resources.
Who it is for. For engineers and devops specialists who run infrastructure and apps on Azure together with an agent.
Good fit when
- You need to deploy or upgrade an app on Azure with a proven workflow
- You need to inspect resources, logs, cost and quotas in your subscription
- You need working practices and guardrails for Azure tasks
Not a fit when
- You have no Azure account or active subscription
- The work is unrelated to Azure
Example request
List my Azure storage accounts and estimate their costLimitations
You need an Azure account, Node.js 18 or newer, and an Azure CLI sign-in via az login, plus the Azure Developer CLI for deployments. The tools act on live resources and require permissions in the subscription. Azure service availability from Russia is limited, so without a working account and connection the plugin will not function. The server collects telemetry, which is turned off with the AZURE_MCP_COLLECT_TELEMETRY environment variable.
How to disable. Remove the plugin with the /plugin command in your agent, or drop its MCP configuration.

README in short
The README describes the plugin as a single Azure capability layer in three parts: skills with working scenarios and guardrails, the Azure MCP Server with tools for forty-plus services, and Foundry MCP for Microsoft Foundry scenarios. It installs through the Claude Code and GitHub Copilot plugin marketplace, a VS Code extension, or a single APM command across several environments. Requirements are listed: an Azure account, Node.js 18, and an Azure CLI sign-in, with the Azure Developer CLI for deployments. It also gives example requests and authentication methods.
