Azure MCP server

mcp-azure

A Model Context Protocol server for Azure (via the Azure Resource Manager API — the programmatic layer behind the Azure Portal). It lets an MCP-capable client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, …) inventory and operate Azure resources — with a governance layer that keeps an AI agent inside safe boundaries.

What this offers

• Inventory — list subscriptions, locations, resource groups, and resources; get any resource by ARM id.
• Operations — create resource groups (in approved regions), merge tags onto any resource, and control VM power state (start / stop / restart / deallocate).
• Lifecycle — delete resource groups and individual resources, guarded.
• Governance built in — access modes, subscription/resource-group allowlists, protected resource groups, a location allowlist for new groups, delete gating, typed confirmation for high-impact deletes, dry-run, and JSON audit logging.

Governance & security model

Tools

Read (read-only+): listsubscriptions, listlocations, listresourcegroups, listresources, getresource

Write (read-write+): createresourcegroup, tagresource, controlvm

Admin (admin): deleteresourcegroup, deleteresource (both need AZUREALLOW_DELETE + typed confirm)

Quickstart — add to your agent

Published on npm as @dockndevai/mcp-azure. Runs via npx with an Entra ID service principal. See docs/CLIENTS.md for every client and .env.example for all variables.
