Documentation Overview

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.

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.
