Azure MCP

Azure MCP is a community-maintained server that connects AI agents to Azure cloud services through the Model Context Protocol. While Microsoft has their own official Azure MCP offering, this project from the Azure GitHub organization takes a more focused, developer-friendly approach. It provides tools for interacting with Azure resources like storage, VMs, and resource groups through a clean MCP interface. The server is designed to be practical rather than comprehensive. It covers the Azure operations that developers use most frequently — listing resources, checking statuses, reading logs, and managing deployments — rather than trying to wrap every Azure API. This makes it lighter and easier to understand, but it means you may need to fall back to the Azure CLI for less common operations. With over 1,200 stars and backing from the Azure organization on GitHub, it has strong community trust. The codebase is clean and well-structured, making it a good reference for building your own cloud provider MCP server. The main consideration is distinguishing this from Microsoft's official MCP template — this one is more mature and focused on practical DevOps use cases.
