--- name: azure-usage description: This skill should be used when user asks to "query Azure resources", "list storage accounts", "manage Key Vault secrets", "work with Cosmos DB", "check AKS clusters", "use Azure MCP", or interact with any Azure service. license: Apache-2.0 --- # Azure MCP Best Practices ## Tool Selection | Task | Tool | Example | | -------------------- | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------- | | List resources | `mcp__azure__*_list` | Storage accounts, Key Vault secrets | | Get resource details | `mcp__azure__*_get` | Container details, database info | | Create resources | `mcp__azure__*_create` | New secrets, storage containers | | Query data | `mcp__azure__*_query` | Log Analytics, Cosmos DB | ## Common Operations ### Storage - `storage_accounts_list` - List storage accounts - `storage_blobs_list` - List blobs in container - `storage_blobs_upload` - Upload file to blob ### Key Vault - `keyvault_secrets_list` - List secrets - `keyvault_secrets_get` - Get secret value - `keyvault_secrets_set` - Create/update secret ### Cosmos DB - `cosmosdb_databases_list` - List databases - `cosmosdb_containers_list` - List containers - `cosmosdb_query` - Query documents ### AKS - `aks_clusters_list` - List AKS clusters - `aks_nodepools_list` - List node pools ### Monitor - `monitor_logs_query` - Query Log Analytics ## Authentication Azure MCP uses Azure Identity SDK. Authenticate via: - `az login` (Azure CLI - recommended) - VS Code Azure extension - Environment variables (service principal) ## Reference - [Azure MCP Server](https://github.com/microsoft/mcp/tree/main/servers/Azure.Mcp.Server) - [Supported Services (40+)](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/developer/azure-mcp-server/)
