What is Azure MCP Server?
The Azure MCP Server is a server that implements the Model Context Protocol to enable interaction with Azure services like Blob Storage and Cosmos DB. It allows applications, such as the Claude desktop app, to perform operations on these Azure services through a standardized protocol, with all operations automatically logged for auditing.
How to use Azure MCP Server?
To use the server, you can either install it automatically via Smithery or manually by cloning the repository, configuring Azure credentials (either through environment variables or the Azure CLI), and configuring the Claude desktop app to point to the server. Once configured, you can use Claude to interact with Azure services using the available tools.

How do I configure Azure credentials?
How do I configure Azure credentials?
You can configure credentials either by setting environment variables (AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_URL, AZURE_COSMOSDB_ENDPOINT, AZURE_COSMOSDB_KEY, AZURE_APP_CONFIGURATION_ENDPOINT) or by authenticating with the Azure CLI using az login.
What is the default database name for Cosmos DB operations?
What is the default database name for Cosmos DB operations?
If the database_name is not provided, the server defaults to a database named defaultdb.
How do I create a Cosmos DB container?
How do I create a Cosmos DB container?
Use the cosmosdb_container_create tool, providing the container_name and partition_key. The partition_key should be a JSON object defining the partition key (e.g., {"paths": ["/myPartitionKey"], "kind": "Hash"}).
Why do I need a partition key for Cosmos DB operations?
Why do I need a partition key for Cosmos DB operations?
Cosmos DB requires a partition key for efficient data storage and retrieval. When creating containers, you must define a partition key. When reading, replacing, or deleting items, you must provide the correct partition key value for the item you are accessing.
