Frequently asked questions
What is Azure?
MCP server for Azure API integration
How do I install Azure?
It runs on your machine. In Claude Code: claude mcp add azure -e 'AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=<AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID>' -e 'AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<your azure_client_id>' -e 'AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=<your azure_client_secret>' -e 'AZURE_TENANT_ID=<AZURE_TENANT_ID>' -- uvx azure-mcp-server==0.1.0. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.
Does Azure need an API key?
Yes. It expects AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET, AZURE_TENANT_ID, which you set in its configuration.
Is Azure open source?
Its code is public on GitHub, but the repository does not declare a standard license.
Who maintains Azure?
It is published by asklokesh. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.
From the official MCP Registry. Listing is not an endorsement: review a server's code and permissions before giving it access to your data.
