Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{

        "AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID": "your-value",
        "AZURE_MODE": "your-value"
      }

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add azure --env AZURE_TENANT_ID=your-value --env AZURE_CLIENT_ID=your-value --env AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=your-value --env AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=your-value --env AZURE_MODE=your-value -- npx -y @dockndevai/mcp-azure

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "azure": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",

        "AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID": "your-value",
        "AZURE_MODE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "azure": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",

        "AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID": "your-value",
        "AZURE_MODE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is MCP Azure safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.3.0) reached the registry 39 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

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

Concern	Flag	Default	Effect
What can the server do?	`AZURE_MODE`	`read-only`	`read-only` → inventory; `read-write` → create RG, tag, VM power; `admin` → deletes. Tools above the mode are never registered.
Which subscriptions?	`AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ALLOWLIST`	(all)	Operations on other subscriptions are refused.
Which resource groups?	`AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP_ALLOWLIST`	(all)	Operations outside the list are refused.
Read-only-forever groups	`AZURE_PROTECTED_RESOURCE_GROUPS`	(none)	Readable, never mutable.
Approved regions	`AZURE_LOCATION_ALLOWLIST`	(any)	New resource groups may only be created here.
Can it delete?	`AZURE_ALLOW_DELETE`	`false`	Deletes need this and admin mode.
Typed confirmation	`AZURE_REQUIRE_CONFIRMATION`	`true`	Deletes require `confirm` to equal the target name — not just a boolean.
Preview	`AZURE_DRY_RUN`	`false`	Write/admin tools validate + log intent, then return.
Audit trail	`AZURE_AUDIT_LOG`	`true`	JSON line to stderr per guarded operation.
Interactive confirmation	(automatic)	—	Destructive & high-impact actions prompt the human to approve via MCP elicitation before running; clients without elicitation fall back to the `_ALLOW_` gate.

Tools

Read (read-only+): list_subscriptions, list_locations, list_resource_groups, list_resources, get_resource

Write (read-write+): create_resource_group, tag_resource, control_vm

Admin (admin): delete_resource_group, delete_resource (both need AZURE_ALLOW_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.

Claude Code

claude mcp add azure -e AZURE_TENANT_ID="…" -e AZURE_CLIENT_ID="…" -e AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET="…" -e AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID="…" -e AZURE_MODE="read-only" -- npx -y @dockndevai/mcp-azure
