Common questions

Is Azure Updates 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

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 (0.1.1) reached the registry 9 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Azure Updates MCP Server

mcp-name: io.github.jonnybottles/azure-updates

Stay up-to-date with Azure platform changes through AI-powered natural language queries. This Python-based MCP (Model Context Protocol) server connects AI assistants like Claude to Azure Updates, enabling you to search and filter Azure service announcements, feature releases, preview launches, and retirement notices—all through conversational queries.

What It Does

Azure Updates MCP Server bridges the gap between Azure's official updates feed and your AI assistant, allowing you to:

Search updates by keyword - Ask about specific services, technologies, or features (e.g., "What's new with Azure Kubernetes Service?")
Filter by status - Find what's in Preview, Generally Available, or being Retired
Track deprecations - Stay ahead of service retirements and breaking changes
Discover categories - Explore available Azure products and services through faceted search
Query by date range - Find updates within specific timeframes
Look up by GUID - Retrieve specific announcements directly

Perfect for developers, cloud architects, and IT professionals who need to monitor Azure platform evolution, plan migrations, or stay informed about new capabilities—without manually checking the Azure updates website.

Requirements

General

Python 3.9+
An MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, etc.)

Using `uvx` (Recommended)

If you are installing or running the server via `uvx`, you must have uv installed first.

uv (includes uvx): https://github.com/astral-sh/uv

Install uv:

# macOS / Linux

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Windows (PowerShell)

irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex

Verify installation:

uv --version

uvx --version

uvx allows you to run the MCP server without installing the package globally.

Using pip (Alternative)

If you prefer not to use uvx, you can install the package directly with pip.

pip install azure-updates-mcp

In this case, uv / uvx is not required.

Installation

Install from PyPI

uvx azure-updates-mcp

Or install with pip:

pip install azure-updates-mcp

Upgrade to Latest Version

uvx azure-updates-mcp@latest

Or with pip:

pip install --upgrade azure-updates-mcp

Quick Setup

One-click setup: Click the VS Code badge for automatic configuration (requires uv installed)

Manual setup: See instructions below for Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot CLI, or Claude Desktop

Features

azure_updates_search – Search and filter Azure updates by keyword, category, status, date range, or GUID. Set include_facets=True to get taxonomy counts (product categories, products, tags, statuses). Use limit=0 with include_facets=True to discover available filter values.

Prompt Examples

Once connected to an MCP client, you can ask questions like:

Get recent updates: "Show me the 10 most recent Azure updates"
Search by keyword: "Find all Azure updates related to Kubernetes or AKS"
Filter by status: "What Azure features are currently in preview?"
Check for retirements: "Are there any upcoming Azure service retirements I should know about?"
Discover categories: "What Azure product categories and services are available in the updates?"

Usage

Run the MCP Server

uvx azure-updates-mcp

Or if installed with pip:

azure-updates-mcp

Connect from Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop MCP config:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
